About Question enthuware.ocpjp.v17.2.3683 :

[elotmanik]

I think the response is not fully correct, some options are though correct. example Option1 is correct, you can declare a sealed class without permits if classes which extend it are in the same java file as the sealed class

[admin]

You are right. This has now been fixed and an explanation has been added..
thank you for your feedback!

I think we could apply the same assumption to Option 2. Meaning that it could be a valid sealed class declaration too if a subclass were defined in the same Java file.

I guess the question "Identity potentially valid declarations of sealed classes", especially the word "potentially" can lead to different interpretations.

Thanks.

[admin]

Very true indeed!
Updated again.

I cannot assume option 2,

"public sealed class DocType { }"

as a valid option.

Permits clause is required. Otherwise, it does not compile.

Please, fix it. Thank you.

[admin]

permits is not required if the permitted class is in the same file.
