Java I/O (Input and Output) is used to process the input and produce the output. Java uses the concept of stream to make I/O operation fast. The java.io package contains all the classes required for input and output operations. Handling files is also done in java by Java I/O API. Migrating from java.io.File to Java … Read more

Optional is a container object which may or may not contain a non-null value. If a value is present, isPresent() will return true and get() will return the value. Additional methods that depend on the presence of the contained value are provided, such as orElse(), which returns a default value if value not present, and … Read more

Java provides a mechanism, called object serialization where an object can be represented as a sequence of bytes that includes the object’s data as well as information about the object’s type and the types of data stored in theobject. After a serialized object has been written into a file, it can be read from the … Read more

Documentation for java code is often generated using Javadoc. Javadoc was created by Sun Microsystems for the purpose of generating API documentation in HTML format from Java source code. Using the HTML format gives the convenience of being able to hyperlink related documents together. Building Javadocs From the Command Line Many IDEs provide support for … Read more

A regular expression is a special sequence of characters that helps in matching or finding other strings or sets of strings, using a specialized syntax held in a pattern.

Java Interfaces Tutorial – An interface is a reference type, similar to a class, which can be declared by using the interface keyword. Interfaces can contain only constants, method signatures, default methods, static methods, and nested types. Method bodies exist only for default methods and static methods. Like abstract classes, Interfaces cannot be instantiated—they can … Read more

Creating paths The Path class is used to programmatically represent a path in the file system (and can therefore point to files as well as directories, even to non-existent ones) A path can be obtained using the helper class Paths: Path p1 = Paths.get(“/var/www”);Path p2 = Paths.get(URI.create(“file:///home/testuser/File.txt”));Path p3 = Paths.get(“C:\Users\DentAr\Documents\HHGTDG.odt”);Path p4 = Paths.get(“/home”, “arthur”, “files”, … Read more

However, unlike if statements, one may not use inequalities; each valuemust be concretely defined. Switch statements There are three critical components to the switch statement: case: This is the value … Read more

Lambda expressions provide a clear and concise way of implementing a single-method interface using an expression. They allow you to reduce the amount of code you have to create and maintain. While similar toanonymous classes, they have no type information by themselves. Type inference needs to happen. Method references implement functional interfaces using existing methods … Read more
