This code is taken from a SCJP practice test:
3. public class Bridge {
4. public enum Suits {
5. CLUBS(20), DIAMONDS(20), HEARTS(30), SPADES(30),
6. NOTRUMP(40) { public int getValue(int bid) {
return ((bid-1)*30)+40; } };
7. Suits(int points) { this.points = points; }
8. private int points;
9. public int getValue(int bid) { return points * bid; }
10. }
11. public static void main(String[] args) {
12. System.out.println(Suits.NOTRUMP.getBidValue(3));
13. System.out.println(Suits.SPADES + " " + Suits.SPADES.points);
14. System.out.println(Suits.values());
15. }
16. }
On line 8 points
is declared as private, and on line 13 it's being accessed, so from what I can see my answer would be that compilation fails. But the answer in the book says otherwise. Am I missing something here or is it a typo in the book?
