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 ...

IN, BETWEEN, LIKE operators in SQL

Image
IN - defines a set of values. SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE name IN ('Ivan','Petr','Pavel'); BETWEEN defines a range of values. Unlike IN, BETWEEN is order sensitive, and the first value in the sentence must be the first in alphabetical or numeric order. SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE age BETWEEN 20 AND 25; LIKE is applicable only to fields of type CHAR or VARCHAR with which it is used to find substrings. As a condition, wildcards are used - special characters that can match something: _ stands for any single character. For example, 'b_t' will match the words 'bat' or 'bit', but will not match 'brat'. % replaces a sequence of any number of characters. For example '%p%t' will match 'put', 'posit', or 'opt', but not 'spite'. SELECT * FROM UNIVERSITY WHERE NAME LIKE '%o'; UNION keyword In SQL, the UNION keyword is used to combine the results of two SQL queries int...

Generics in Java

Image
Generics is a technical term for a set of language properties that allow generic types and methods to be defined and used. Generic types or methods differ from ordinary types in that they have typed parameters. An example of using generic types is the Java Collection Framework. For example, the LinkedList<E> class is a typical generic type. It contains the parameter E, which represents the type of items that will be stored in the collection. Objects of generic types are created by replacing parameterized types with real data types. Instead of just using LinkedList, without saying anything about the type of the item in the list, it is suggested to use the exact type indication LinkedList<String>, LinkedList<Integer>, etc. Read also: Errors of the Error class in Java Work of try-catch-finally block in Java Exceptions in Java
