About Question enthuware.ocpjp.v7.2.1732 :

[logtwo]

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about line being 2 an error due to method clone() being declared final in Enum class, as solution says.

Code: Select all

 public enum EnumB{ B, BB, BBB;      
public Object clone(Object o){ return B; } //2    
}

If I'm not wrong, line marked as //2 is not an override of Object.clone() method, but rather an overload of it, since parameters are different (one Object vs no parameters at all in Object's method).

Is the option 2 actually correct despite of this? If it is so, why?

Thank you

You are right. The given clone method should not have any parameter. Fixed.
thank you for your feedback!

looks like a typo in the explanation
6. (...) with an enum constant and returns that constant if successful (...)

You are right. Fixed.
