<h1>Errata for
<br><font color="#a52a2a">Programming Pearls,
<br>Second Edition</font></h1>

<p>
The second printing had no changes from the first printing.

<p>
The following bugs need to be fixed in upcoming printings.

<P>
p. 38, line 23. The clause <i>cantbe(m, n)</i> should be
<i>cantbe(m, n-1)</i>.

<P>
p. 121, line 11: The inequality sign is reversed; the test should read
``<i>if u-l < cutoff</i>''.
(The test is correct in the function <i>qsort4</i> later on the page.)

<p>
p. 129, line -14: The variables ``<i>m</i>''
and ``<i>n</i>'' are swapped.
The sentence should read:
``Next, suppose that <i>m</i> is ten million
and <i>n</i> is 2<sup>31</sup>.''

<p>
p. 181, line -6:
Change ``structues'' to ``structures''.

<P>
p. 203, line 12:
Change ``commutative'' to ``associative''.

<P>
p. 224, line -2: Remove the phrase
``or print <i>n</i> + 1 - <i>i</i> rather than <i>i</i>''.

<P>
p. 231, line -13: Insert ``p'' after ``*'',
so the line reads
<DL><DT><DD><TT><PRE>
unsigned int hash(char *p)
</PRE></TT></DL>

<p>
I am grateful for the extremely careful reading
and detailed bug reports provided by
Nick Cox,
Alexey Kudravtsev,
Dan Pape,
Arnold Robbins
and Satoru Takabayashi.
