This exam is rampant with bait and switch tactics which are unfair to the student. I too many cases in this exam, Oracle uses "trick" tactics to confuse the student. I am beginning to think they are trying to discourage people from using Java because of it "quirky" behavior.

I find it interesting that the you have to justify the questions in such a manner.
Poorly written code and trick questions are exactly what make this such a valuable course.

It seems that the point of questions like this are simply to confuse the student. In all of my years as a developer, I have never found one incident where it was necessary to use such a poorly designed increment.

You are right. Some of the question are like that but you have to bear with them because you will find such questions in the real exam as well.

Well, the job of our mock exams is to make the reader aware of the kind of scenarios they will encounter in the real exam. Some user do get frustrated but nothing much we can do about that except provide more explanation here.
