Similar to generic classes you can also define generic methods in Java. These methods use their own type parameters. Just like local variables, the scope of the type parameters of the methods lies within the method.While defining a generic method you need to specify the type parameter within the angle brackets (< T >). This should be placed before the method's return type.You can have multiple type parameters separated by commas. A type parameter, also known as a type variable, is an identifier that specifies a generic type name.The type parameters can be used to declare the return type and ... Read More

Generics is a concept in Java where you can enable a class, interface and, method, accept all (reference) types as parameters. In other words it is the concept which enables the users to choose the reference type that a method, constructor of a class accepts, dynamically. By defining a class as generic you are making it type-safe i.e. it can act up on any data type.Example Live Democlass Student{    T age;    Student(T age){       this.age = age;    }    public void display() {       System.out.println("Value of age: "+this.age);    } } public class GenericsExample ...

A String class can be used to represent the character strings, all the string literals in a Java program are implemented as an instance of a String class. The Strings are constants and their values cannot be changed (immutable) once created. We can use the startsWith() method of String class to check whether a string begins with a specific string or not, it returns a boolean, true or false. Syntax public boolean startsWith(String prefix) Example public class StringStartsWithSubStringTest { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "WelcomeToTutorialsPoint"; if(str.startsWith("Welcome")) { ...

Unicode (UTF) − Stands for Unicode Translation Format. It is developed by The Unicode Consortium. if you want to create documents that use characters from multiple character sets, you will be able to do so using the single Unicode character encodings. It provides 3 types of encodings.UTF-8 − It comes in 8-bit units (bytes), a character in UTF8 can be from 1 to 4 bytes long, making UTF8 variable width.UTF-16-8 − It comes in 16-bit units (shorts), it can be 1 or 2 shorts long, making UTF16 variable width.UTF-32 − It comes in 32-bit units (longs). It is a fixed-width ... Read More

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. By default, All the members (methods and fields) of an interface are public.All the methods in an interface are public and abstract (except static and default).All the fields of an interface are public, static and, final by default.If you declare/define fields without public or, static or, final or, all the three modifiers. Java compiler places them on your behalf.ExampleIn the following Java program, ... Read More
