The JDK 8 has added several useful methods in existing interfaces e.g. java.util.Map, java.util.Collection, and java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap. Thanks to default methods, the much-needed evolution of existing interfaces becomes possible. Out of many useful methods, one method which stands out to me is the compute() method, which allows you to update a value in ConcurrentHashMap atomically. As per Java documentation, The compute() function tries to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (or null if there is no current mapping). The entire function is performed atomically.
How to use LinkedList in Java? Singly LinkedList and Doubly LinkedList Example Tutorial
Hello friends, we meet again on our journey to Java. I hope you guys are enjoying Java and are trying hands-on too. Today we are gonna discuss a very easy topic (yeah, I mean it :p). But, do not get carried away just by "easy", this is the hottest topic asked in various interviews, exams, and development purposes too. So, what's the wait? Let's start! As usual, let's start with a scenario. Let's say you want a data structure that stores data in a sequential manner, like an array. But, you don't know the size yet while initializing the data structure. Arrays don't support that, they need a size beforehand. So, what should we do? Do not worry, as Java is here to help us again. Let's explore it then!
How to get First and Last Element of LinkedList in Java [Example]
Hello guys, if you are wondering how to get the first and last element from Java LinkedList then you have come to the right place. Earlier, I have shared the best Data structure and algorithms courses and in today's post, I will teach you how to get the first and last element of a linked list in Java. This is one of the common coding problems but we will see it from different angles. In Java, you don't need to write and create your own LinkedList, there is a built-in class called java.util.LinkedIn and you can use that class whenever you need a linked list data structure.
Difference between Thread.yield and Thread.sleep in Java? Answer
Sleep vs yield in Java
Sleep and yield are two methods that are used to get CPU back from Thread to Thread Scheduler in java but they are completely different than each other. The major difference between Sleep vs yield is that sleep is more reliable than yield and it's advised to use sleep(1) instead of yield to relinquish CPU in multi-threaded Java applications to give an opportunity to other threads to execute. In this Java tutorial, we will what are the differences between yield and sleep in Java. But before seeing the difference between sleep and Yield let's see some similarities between yield and sleep in Java
Difference between Serializable vs Externalizable in Java - Interview Question
What is the difference between Serializable and Externalizable in Java is famous core Java interview questions and for some of them its one of those difficult Java question, which no one wants to see in Java interview. I was in that category until I read Effective Java and explored How Serialization works in Java and find out more about the Serialization process. What makes Serialization questions tricky is, Serialization as a persistence mechanism is not very popular. Many programmers prefer databases, memory-mapped files, or simple text files over Serialization. But Serialization has a distinguished advantage over these mechanisms.
How to delete multiple elements from a LinkedList in Java? SubList() Example
Hello guys, if you are looking for an easy way to remove a sub set of elements
from a LinkedList in Java then you have come to the right place. In the past,
I have shown you
how to sort a LinkedList in Java
and
how to create your own linked list implementation in Java
and in this article, I am going to introduce you with an interesting method
which can be used to delete a portion of LinkedList in Java in shot. Yes,
there is a method exists but not many Java developer knows about it. The
method is called subList() and you
can use this method with clear method in Java to delete a portion of linked
list in one shot.
What is TreeMap in Java? HashMap vs TreeMap Example Tutorial
Hello guys, I hope you all are doing well and having lots of fun reading and learning Java Collections together. Today we are here a meet again on our journey of Java. I hope you all have seatbelts buckled up as today it's gonna be an adventurous ride while learning something that is most used in many production applications, coding, and whatnot. Today's topic, TreeMap in Java is very important because it holds a very significant feature Java development kit provides. This is also one class which many Java developer doesn't pay attention but it is really used for many use cases. Most Java developer just keep their attention to ArrayList, HashSet, and HashMap and thus missing out on many cool Java collection classes like TreeMap, WeakHashMap, and LinkedHashMap which saw earlier.
How ThreadLocal variables works in Java? Explained
Hello guys, ThreadLocal variable is an interesting concept and class from Java API. Not many developer knows about it and very few know how to use it correctly. A couple of years ago it was also a popular Java interview questions for experienced developer but over the years, it lost the popularity as more and more people are now asking about Phaser, CompletableFuture, ForkJoinPool, and other newly added concurrency utilities. ThreadLocal variables, as name suggests is local to thread, which means every thread has there own copy. This means they don't need to look at the main memory when they want to use that variable and best thing is that the variable is not even shared between threads so no locking or synchronization is needed.
Difference between JIT and JVM in Java? Answered
The main difference between JIT and JVM is that JIT is part of JVM itself and its main function is to improve the performance of JVM by directly compiling some hot code (code that executes above a certain threshold) into native instruction. JIT stands for Just In time compilation and JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine. JVM is a virtual machine used in Java programming platforms to execute or run Java programs. The main advantage of JVM is that JVM makes Java platform-independent by executing bytecodes. Java source code is compiled into class files, which contain bytecode.
