Method main in Java

The main() method is the entry point to the program. An application can have several such methods. If the method is absent, then compilation is possible, but at startup the error `Error: Main method not found` will be received. 

public static void main(String[] args) {}

Rocks and Diamonds

Image
In this post I want to tell about one simple programming task with solving in Java. Suppose we have two strings with latin symbols out of order. First string may have duplicates and that string we call Rocks. Second string have no duplicates and we call it Diamonds. Our task to find out how many Diamonds exist in Rocks. Every symbol in second string is diamond. If we want to use brute forse it will be not very effective. In that case we need to iterate full Rocks as many times as Diamonds exist in second string and we need to iterate the whole Rocks - from beginning to end. To become more efficient we will to execute two preparations - sort Rocks and Diamonds alphabetically. Now we have two sorted strings. Let begin iterate throught Diamonds and for every Diamond we iterate Rocks, but not the whole - when we found Diamond in Rock we increment our result counter, then take next Rock we check if it more then Diamond alphabetically. If it is then we take next Diamond because previous ...

Functional interfaces in Java

Image
A functional interface is an interface that defines only one abstract method. To precisely define an interface as functional, the @FunctionalInterface annotation has been added, working like the @Override principle. It will indicate the intent and prevent the second abstract method from being defined in the interface. An interface can include as many default methods as you want and still remain functional, because default methods are not abstract. Functional interfaces Function<T,R>, DoubleFunction<R>, IntFunction<R> and LongFunction<R> Function<T,R> is an interface that implements a function that receives an instance of the T class as input and returns an instance of the R class at the output. The default methods can be used to build call chains (compose, andThen). Function<String, Integer> toInteger = Integer::valueOf; Function<String, String> backToString = toInteger.andThen(String::valueOf); backToString.apply("123"); ...

Object class in Java

Image
Object is the base class for all other objects in Java. Any class inherits from Object and, accordingly, inherits its methods: public boolean equals(Object obj) - is used to compare objects by value; int hashCode() - returns the hash code for the object; String toString() - returns the string representation of the object; Class getClass() - returns the class of the object at runtime; protected Object clone() - creates and returns a copy of the object; void notify() - resumes the thread waiting for the monitor; void notifyAll() - resumes all threads waiting on the monitor; void wait() - stopping the thread that called the method until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method for this object; void wait(long timeout) - stopping the thread that called the method for a certain time or until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method for this object; void wait(long timeout, int nanos) - stopping the thread that called the method for a certain time or un...
