Yes, I agree.

Unfortunately in the framework provided in this chapter there are more problems than the one you mentioned David.

I know I could google each one, make the compiler happy and then get on with exercises but I think that this is not an optimal learning experience.
Also I don't know whether all exercises are even sensical with new features being added.
