Hour 7: Using Conditional Tests to Make Decisions

NOTES AND CORRECTIONS

• On Page 117, the second paragraph states that the text EST is sent as an argument to the getTimeZone() method to set it up for Central Standard Time. This is a typo: EST is associated with Eastern Standard Time, and CST is associated with Central Standard Time.
