  • Numbers are initialized to 0 or 0.0;
  • char - \u0000;
  • boolean - false;
  • Objects (including String) - null.

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 ...

ArrayList and LinkedList in Java, memory usage and speed

Image
How much extra memory is needed when calling ArrayList.add()? If there is enough space in the array to accommodate a new element, then no additional memory is required. Otherwise, a new array is created, 1.5 times larger than the existing one (this is true for JDK above 1.7, in earlier versions the size of the increase is different). How much extra memory is allocated when you call LinkedList.add()? One new instance of the nested Node class is created. How much memory to store one byte primitive in LinkedList? Each LinkedList element stores a link to the previous element, the next element, and a data link. private static class Node<E> { E item; Node<E> next; Node<E> prev; //... } For 32-bit systems, each link is 32 bits (4 bytes). The object (header) of the nested Node class itself takes 8 bytes. 4 + 4 + 4 + 8 = 20 bytes, and since the size of each object in Java is a multiple of 8, so we get 24 bytes. A byte primitive occupies 1 by...

Types of indexes in database

Image
By sort order ordered - the indices in which the elements are ordered increasing decreasing unordered - indices at which the items are unordered By data source view indexes expression indices By influence on the data source clustered index - When defined in a dataset, the physical location of the data is rebuilt according to the structure of the index. The logical structure of the dataset in this case is more of a dictionary than an index. The data in the dictionary is physically ordered, such as alphabetically. Clustered indexes can provide significant improvements in data search performance, even when compared to regular indexes. The performance increase is especially noticeable when working with sequential data. nonclustered index is the most common member of the index family. Unlike clustered, they do not rebuild the physical structure of the dataset, but only organize links to the corresponding records. To identify the required record in the data set, the noncluster...
