Change "Under the covers" to "Under the hood"

Open beniaminogreen opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

In chapter 4.1, the authors write: "Take a look at Figure 4-1 to see what is happening to String under the covers." Isn't the the common figure of speech "under the hood"?

"Under the hood" if a reference to a car's bonnet (or hood), which conceals the complex inner workings of the engine. "Under the covers" seems like a reference to something else.
