Whenever you read an integer value into a String, you can remove leading zeroes of it using StringBuffer class, using regular expressions or, by converting the given String to character array.Converting to character arrayFollowing Java program reads an integer value from the user into a String and removes the leading zeroes from it by converting the given String into Character array.Exampleimport java.util.Scanner; public class LeadingZeroes { public static String removeLeadingZeroes(String num){ int i=0; char charArray[] = num.toCharArray(); for( ; i
To convert a Date object to LocalDate object in Java −Convert the obtained date object to an Instant object using the toInstant() method.Instant instant = date.toInstant();Create the ZonedDateTime object using the atZone() method of the Instant class.ZonedDateTime zone = instant.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());Finally, convert the ZonedDateTime object to the LocalDate object using the toLocalDate() method.LocalDate givenDate = zone.toLocalDate();ExampleFollowing example accepts a name and Date of birth from the user in String formats and converts it to LocalDate object and prints it. Live Demoimport java.text.ParseException; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.time.Instant; import java.time.LocalDate; import java.time.ZoneId; import java.time.ZonedDateTime; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Scanner; public class DateToLocalDate { public static void ...

An interface in Java is a specification of method prototypes. Whenever you need to guide the programmer or, make a contract specifying how the methods and fields of a type should be you can define an interface.To create an object of this type you need to implement this interface, provide body for all the abstract methods of the interface and obtain the object of the implementing class.Nested interfacesJava allows writing/declaring interfaces within another interface or, within a class these are known as nested interfaces.ExampleIn the following Java example, we have a class with name Sample which contains a nested interface ...

Yes, you can write an interface without any methods. These are known as marking interfaces or, tagging interfaces.A marker interface i.e. it does not contain any methods or fields by implementing these interfaces a class will exhibit a special behavior with respect to the interface implemented.ExampleConsider the following example, here we have class with name Student which implements the marking interface Cloneable. In the main method we are trying to create an object of the Student class and clone it using the clone() method. Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; public class Student implements Cloneable { int age; String name; public ... Read More
A Remote interface is available in the java.rmi package it is a marking/tagging interface, it is used with remote method invocation(RMI).RMI is a mechanism that allows an object residing in one system (JVM) to access/invoke an object running on another JVM.To it is a marking interface, to mark an object of a class remote, you need to implement this interface.To create a remote interface −Create an interface that extends the predefined interface Remote which belongs to the package or, implement the Remote interface with the class, which you need to make remote.Declare all the business methods that can be invoked ...

The java.text package provides a class named SimpleDateFormat which is used to format and parse dates in required manner (local).Using the methods of this class you can parse String to Date or, format Date to String.Parsing String to DateYou can parse a given String to Date object using the parse() method of the SimpleDateFormat class. To this method you need to pass the Date in String format. To parse a String to Date object −Instantiate the SimpleDateFormat class by passing the required pattern of the date in String format to its constructor.//Instantiating the SimpleDateFormat class SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");Parse/convert ...

Java provides a class named Period in the java.time package. This is used to calculate the time period between two given dates as days, months and, years etc.The between() method of this class accepts two LocalDate objects and finds out the period between the two given dates (number of years, months, and days) and returns as a period object.From this, you can extract the number of days, months and, years of the period in between using the getDays(), getMonths() and, getYears() respectively.Finding the ageIf you already have the date of birth of a person, to find the age −Get the ...

A method which does not have body is known as abstract method. It contains only method signature with a semi colon and, an abstract keyword before it.public abstract myMethod();To use an abstract method, you need to inherit it by extending its class and provide implementation to it.A class which contains 0 or more abstract methods is known as abstract class. If it contains at least one abstract method, it must be declared abstract.Extending an abstract classOnce you extend an abstract class in Java you need to override all the abstractmethods in it or, declare it abstract. If you don’t, a ... Read More
Interface in Java is similar to class but, it contains only abstract methods and fields which are final and static.Private fields of an interfaceIf the fields of the interface are private, you cannot access them in the implementing class.If you try to declare the fields of an interface private, a compile time error is generated saying “modifier private not allowed here”.ExampleIn the following Java example, we are trying to declare the field and method of an interface private.public interface MyInterface{ private static final int num = 10; private abstract void demo(); }Compile time errorOn compiling, the above program ...
