In this post I will explain how to create array dynamically with an example. This is useful when we don’t know the type of array until runtime. Main code 1 package reflection; 2 3 import java.lang.reflect.Array; 4 5 public class ArraysDemo { 6 public static void main(String[] args) { 7 //Creating single dimension array 8…… Continue reading Creating array dynamically

Creating a temporary file and directory
The post shows you how to create a temporary file and directory in java with an example. Main Code 1 package nio; 2 3 import java.io.IOException; 4 import java.nio.file.Files; 5 import java.nio.file.Path; 6 import java.nio.file.Paths; 7 8 public class Example1 { 9 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { 10 Path path = Files.createTempFile(“prefix”,…… Continue reading Creating a temporary file and directory
Supplier Functional Interface Example
Java 8 added a new functional interface named “Supplier”. The purpose of this interface is to supply instances. I will be explaining using the below example. In the example I have want of list of employees. I will separate the logic behind employee instance creation and adding to list. The employee instance will be created…… Continue reading Supplier Functional Interface Example
Consumer Functional Interface Example
Java 8 added a new functional interface named “Consumer”. The purpose of this interface is to consume/process the information received, it doesn’t return anything. I will be explaining using the below example. In the example I have list of employees whom I want to terminate. I will pass the list of employees to an implementation…… Continue reading Consumer Functional Interface Example
BiPredicate Simple Example
This post explains BiPredicate functional interface. BiPredicate is similar to Predicate functional interface except BiPredicate takes two arguments instead of one. In the below example we will filter list of Person entities based on first and last name. The predicate class name will be “NamePredicate”. NamePredicate package Function; import java.util.function.BiPredicate; public class NamePredicate implements BiPredicate…… Continue reading BiPredicate Simple Example
Different ways to convert list to array
This post explains two ways through which we can convert a list to array. First approach is simply calling toArrayList on list instance. This method returns an Object array, When converting to array it doesn’t consider the data type of the entries in the list. Below is the code snippet list.toArray(); The second approach involves…… Continue reading Different ways to convert list to array
Different ways to convert collection to an array
This post explains two ways through which we can convert a collection to an array. The collection can be a list or set. First approach is simply calling “toArray” on collection instance. This method returns an Object array, When converting to array it doesn’t consider the data type of the entries in the collection. Below…… Continue reading Different ways to convert collection to an array
Default Interface Example
Java 8 introduces a new feature called Default Interface. This feature allows interface creator to provide default implementations for methods, so that concrete classes that implementing the interface don’t have to provide implementations for those methods. The below code gives you an example of how to create default interface and how to use them. Interface…… Continue reading Default Interface Example
Combining Predicates
This post explains how we can combine two or more predicates using logical operations as mentioned below 1) and 2) or 3) negate Below is an example Person package Function; public class Person { private String ssn; private String fname; private String lname; private String description; private int age; public String getSsn() { return ssn;…… Continue reading Combining Predicates
Java Predicate
Java provides a new interface named Predicate which is a functional interface. A functional interface is an interface which will have exactly one abstract method in addition to one or more default methods. In the case of Predicate interface, the abstract method is test method whose signature is as shown below boolean test(T t) In…… Continue reading Java Predicate
