Can You Override static method in Java? Method Hiding Example

Can we override the static method in Java?

This is one of the most popular Java interview questions. The answer to this question is No, you cannot override the static method in Java because the method overriding is based upon dynamic binding at runtime and static methods are bonded using static binding at compile time. This means static methods are resolved even before objects are created, that's why it's not possible to override static methods in Java. Though you can declare a method with the same name and method signature in the subclass which does look like you can override static methods in Java but in reality that is method hiding.

How to remove duplicates from Collections or Stream in Java? Stream distinct() Example

Hello guys, if you wonder how to remove duplicates from Stream in Java, don't worry. You can use the Stream.distinct() method to remove duplicates from a Stream in Java 8 and beyond. The distinct() method behaves like the distinct clause of SQL, which eliminates duplicate rows from the result set. The distinct() is also a standard method, which means it will return a new Stream without duplicates, which can be used for further processing. Like other methods of Stream class, I mean, map(), flatmap(), or filter(), distinct() is also lazy, and it will not remove duplicate elements until you call a terminal method on Streams like collect or forEach().  

Top 10 Algorithms books Every Programmer Should Read

Algorithms are language agnostic, and any programmer worth their salt should be able to convert them to code in their programming language of choice. Unfortunately, I have come across several programmers who are REALLY good at programming languages like Java or Python, like know minor details of API and language intricacies but have very poor knowledge of the fundamentals of Algorithms and Data Structures. Just ask them to implement any popular sorting algorithms like quicksort or merge sort, and they will fall apart. If you expect them to know more advanced and sophisticated algorithms like String processing algorithms, graph algorithms, tree traversal, or greedy algorithms, be ready to check on Interviews; otherwise, you might end up with some surprises.

5 Examples of map() and flatMap() in Java 8 Stream

The map() and flatMap() are prince and princess of functional programming in Java. They are two powerful methods of Stream API which I believe every Java developer should be aware of and should also master it. You can use map() and flatMap() for data transformation, dealing with database operations where you need to convert one object to another while saving or reading from database. You can also use them for parsing and formatting as well as when you want to remove boiler plate code and make your data pipeline concise. The map() function is used in functional programming to transform each element of Stream into another element. 

Top 21 String Programming and Coding Interview Questions With Solutions

These questions require you to write code to solve the problem and they are different from traditional Java String questions like how the substring method works in Java? or when to use the intern() method of String in Java? Since coding and problem solving are an important part of any programming job interview, it's imperative that you know how to solve them in time and in a pressure situation, which comes only after doing practice with the right set of questions. Since these questions are already tried and tested and appeared in many interviews, they will provide you the experience you need to crack your coding interview.
