When we start two or more threads within a program, there may be a situation when multiple threads try to access the same resource and finally they can produce unforeseen result due to concurrency issues. For example, if multiple threads try to write within a same file then they may corrupt the data because one of the threads can override data or while one thread is opening the same file at the same time another thread might be closing the same file.So there is a need to synchronize the action of multiple threads and make sure that only one thread ...

A string is Palindrome if position of each character remain same in case even string is reversed.For example 'MADAM' is a palidrome string as position of each character remain same even if string 'MADAM' is reversed.Now in order to identify a string as palindrome or not we can use library method approach and also without library method approach.But if we want to check if "Madam" is palindrome or not , it will show us that it is not a palindrome because of the upper case of first letter.Example - Without library method. Live Demopublic class Palindrome {    public static void ...

To count occurrences of vowels in a string again use the Map utility of Java as used in calculating the occurrence of each character in the string. Put each vowel as a key in Map and put the initial value as 1 for each key. Now compare each character with the key of the map if a character matches with a key then increase its corresponding value by 1. Steps to check occurrence of each vowel in String Following are the steps to check occurrence of each vowel in String − First, we will define ... Read More

Optional is a container object used to contain not-null objects. Optional object is used to represent null with absent value. This class has various utility methods to facilitate code to handle values as 'available' or 'not available' instead of checking null values. It is introduced in Java 8 and is similar to what Optional is in Guava.Class DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.Optional class −public final class Optional extends ObjectClass MethodSr.No.Method & Description1static Optional empty()Returns an empty Optional instance.2boolean equals(Object obj)Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this Optional.3Optional filter(PredicateRead More

instanceof operator is used to check the type of object passed. Following rules explain the usage of instanceof operator in Java.instanceof operator returns true for the object if checked against its class type.instanceof operator returns false for the object if checked against its type which is not in its hierarchy.instanceof operator returns true for the child object if checked against parent object type.instanceof operator returns true for the complete object hierarchy up to the Object class.instanceof operator returns false for the null value.instanceof operator returns false for the parent object if checked against child object type.Following example showcases the above ...
