It means the variable’s name and types must be defined before it can be used in code. boolean bool = true; By writing the above line we are telling the program that a variable named bool… Continue reading

Java 8 Functional Interfaces

Introduction to functional interfaces A functional interface is an interface that has a single abstract method.  Functional interfaces can have multiple static and default methods, but they should have only one abstract method to qualify as a functional interface.

History of java

Java is a general, all-purpose computer programming language that is circumstantial, class-based, object-oriented, and specially designed to have few application dependencies as possible. Java was developed initially for interactive television, but it was too advanced technology for the digital cable television industry at the time. It is proposed to let application developers “write once, run… Continue reading

Java Collection Iterators

With this article we will kick-off a new series where we will look deep into Java’s different collection solutions which are available in the version 1.8. For concrete implementations (like ArrayList or TreeSet) we will give you some use-cases where these collections will excel and some cases where you should use different collections. And of… Continue reading
