A toast message is an alert which disappears with time automatically. With JDK 7, we can create a toast message similar to an alert on android very easily. Following are the steps needed to make a toast message.Make a rounded rectangle shaped frame. Add a component listener to frame and override the componentResized() to change the shape of the frame. This method recalculates the shape of the frame correctly whenever the window size is changed.frame.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {    @Override    public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {       frame.setShape(new  RoundRectangle2D.Double(0, 0, frame.getWidth(),       frame.getHeight(), 20, 20));    } ...

You can sleep for any period of time from one millisecond up to the lifetime of your computer. For example, the following program would sleep for 3 seconds −Example Live Demoimport java.util.*; public class SleepDemo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       try {                    System.out.println(new Date( ) + "");                    Thread.sleep(5*60*10);                    System.out.println(new Date( ) + "");               } catch (Exception e) {          System.out.println("Got an exception!");             }    } }This will produce the following result −OutputSun May 03 18:04:41 GMT 2009 Sun May 03 18:04:51 GMT 2009

Swing API is a set of extensible GUI Components to ease the developer's life to create JAVA based Front End/GUI Applications. It is built on top of AWT API and acts as a replacement of AWT API since it has almost every control corresponding to AWT controls.Following example showcases a simple calculator application.import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.GridBagConstraints; import java.awt.GridBagLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JTextField; public class Calculator implements ActionListener {    private static JTextField inputBox;    Calculator(){}    public static void main(String[] args) {       createWindow();    } ...

MySQL allows us to add a FOREIGN KEY constraint on more than one field in a table. The condition is that each Foreign Key in the child table must refer to the different parent table.ExampleSuppose we have a table ‘customer2’ which have a Primary Key constraint on the field ‘cust_unq_id’ as follows −mysql> describe customer2; +-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field       | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | cust_id     | int(11)     | YES  |     | NULL    |       | | First_name  | ...

Python doesn't have an equivalent of do-while loop as in C/C++ or Java. The essence of do-while loop is that the looping condition is verified at the end of looping body. This feature can be emulated by following Python code −Examplecondition=True x=0 while condition==True:      x=x+1      print (x)      if x>=5: condition=FalseOutputThe output is as follows −1 2 3 4 5

As we know the AUTO_INCREMENT column must have the PRIMARY KEY constraint on it also hence when we will try to drop PRIMARY KEY constraint from the AUTO_INCREMENT column the MySQL returns an error message regarding the incorrect table definition. The example below will demonstrate it −ExampleSuppose we have ‘Accounts’ table having the following description −mysql> Describe accounts; +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field  | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra          | +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Sr     | int(10)     | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment | ...
