Errata

Quite a few changes to the slides and examples sheet occured this year and inevitably there are errors in both. The annotated lecture notes above show those I spotted in lecture. Please let me know if you spot any others (rkh23@cam.ac.uk).

Page 19 In the paragraph that starts "We speak of an...", the subsequent example (for which all of the example phrases applies) whould say "B extends A and not vice-versa.
Page 20 The "Narrowing Conversions" has a mistake in the bottom right example. The second line should say "Person p = (Person)s";
