On page 21 of the OCAJP8, it says:

"Table 1.1 shows the Java primitive types together with their size in bytes and the range of value that each holds."

Shouldn't that be "bits" instead of "bytes"?

Since we don't know which book you are talking about, but anyways, if book mentions 'bytes' in that context', sure, there must be 'bits'.

It's in the OCAJP8 Study Guide by Boyarsky and Selikoff, the book's website (https://www.selikoff.net/java-oca-8-programmer-i-study-guide/) said to post potential errors here :-)
