Are Generics applied at compile time or run time?
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 datatype.Exampleclass Student{ T age; Student(T age){ this.age = age; } public void display() { System.out.println("Value of age: "+this.age); } } public class GenericsExample { ...

Read MoreIs it mandatory to use T for type-parameter, while defining Generics classes/methods in Java?
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 datatype.To define a generic class you need to specify the type parameter you are using in the angle brackets “” after the class name and you can treat this as datatype of the instance variable an ...
Read MoreWhat is need of introducing Generics, when Arrays already present in Java?
Arrays in Java are used to store homogeneous datatypes, where generics allow users to dynamically choose the type (class) that a method, constructor of a class accepts, dynamically.By defining a class generic you are making it type-safe i.e. it can act up on any datatype. To understand generics let us consider an example −Exampleclass Student{ T age; Student(T age){ this.age = age; } public void display() { System.out.println("Value of age: "+this.age); } } public class GenericsExample { public static void main(String args[]) { Student std1 ...

Read MoreHow can we restrict Generics (type parameter) to sub classes of a particular class in Java?
Whenever you want to restrict the type parameter to subtypes of a particular class you can use the bounded type parameter. If you just specify a type (class) as bounded parameter, only sub types of that particular class are accepted by the current generic class.You can declare a bound parameter just by extending the required class with the type-parameter, within the angular braces as −class Sample Examplepublic class BoundsExample { public static void main(String args[]) { Sample obj1 = new Sample(20); obj1.display(); Sample obj2 = new Sample(20.22d); ...
Read MoreHow do we initialize an array within object parameters in java?
You can initialize the array variable which is declared inside the class just like any other value, either using constructor or, using the setter method.ExampleIn the following Java example, we are declaring an instance variable of array type and initializing it from the constructor.public class Student { String name; int age; String subs[]; Student(String name, int age, String subs[]){ this.name = name; this.age = age; this.subs = subs; } public void display() { System.out.println("Name: "+this.name); System.out.println("Age :"+this.age); System.out.print("Subjects: "); for(int i = 0; i < subs.length; i++) { ...
Read MoreIs it possible to check if a String only contains ASCII in java?
Using regular expressionYou can find whether a particular String value contains ASCII characters using the following regular expression −\A\p{ASCII}*\zThe matches() method of the String class accepts a regular expression and verifies whether the current string matches the given expression if so, it returns true, else it returns false.Therefore, Invoke the matches() method on the input/required string by passing the above specified regular expression as a parameter.Exampleimport java.util.Scanner; public class OnlyASCII { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter a string value: "); String input = ...
Read MoreHow to parse Date from String in the format: dd/MM/yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy in java?
The java.text package provides a class named SimpleDateFormat which is used to format and parse dates in required manner (local).One of the constructors of this class accepts a String value representing the desired date format and constructors SimpleDateFormat object.The format() method of this class accepts a java.util.Date object and returns a date/time string in the format represented by the current object.Therefore, to parse a date String to another date format −Get the input date string.Convert it into java.util.Date object.Instantiate the SimpleDateFormat class by passing the desired (new) format as string to its constructor.Invoke the format() method by passing the above ...
Read MoreCan we synchronize abstract methods in Java?
An abstract method is the one that does not have a body. It contains only a 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 (body) to it. If a class contains at least one abstract method, you must declare it abstract.Exampleimport java.io.IOException; abstract class MyClass { public abstract void display(); } public class AbstractClassExample extends MyClass{ public void display(){ System.out.println("subclass implementation of the display method"); } public static void main(String args[]) ...
