The collections in Java - Part 1

Hello friends,

Welcome back 🙂

In this article, I'm going to share about collections framework or simply collections in Java. I'll add collection's notes and articles in parts because its a large but important utility in Java development, so lets get start.

The collections - Basics

In this article, we'll just review the basics about collections. As the name suggest, collection framework is used to create collection of objects and that collection represents itself as a separate object. In the collection framework, Java provides several interfaces, classes i.e. implementation of interfaces and various common behaviors between those classes and interfaces.

Prior to collections, in Java, Vectors, Arrays and Hashtables were used for grouping Java objects. Here in this article, I'm just giving list of interfaces and classes of the collections framework:

Java provides two types of collections. One is list typed in which objects stored in a sequence manner or we can say something like simple array which doesn't having fixed size. Its base or root interface is Collection.

Another type is key-value pair typed collection in which every object in that collection must have a key or simply a mapping between an object which is known as key with another object which is known as value, the . I'll elaborate differences between those two types later, here I'll just add the list of interfaces and classes used in collections framework.

Interfaces:

  1. Collection 
  2. List
  3. Set
  4. SortedSet
  5. NavigableSet
  6. Queue
  7. Dequeue
  8. Map
  9. SortedMap
  10. NavigableMap

Classes: 

  1.  ArrayList
  2. LinkedList
  3. Stack
  4. Vector
  5. HashSet
  6. LinkedHashSet
  7. TreeSet
  8. PriorityQueue
  9. ArrayDequeue
  10. HashMap
  11. LinkedHashMap
  12. HashTable
  13. TreeMap

So that's all for today, I'll add its parts continuously. Also I'll add separate label as collections framework is a separate part to learn in Java.

Thanks.

Import multiple db files from folder into mysql db

Hello friends, Welcome back In the previous article, we've seen how to export database by table files, not the entire db file. Now in this article, here we're going to see the sample code for importing multiple sql files into same db. This also has been achieved by using a simple shell script. In this script, applied a for loop on list of files in a directory and by using that file name, mysql's import command is executed. The code is simple, you'll learn in just few minutes. Linux shell script: Execute above code in linux terminal to import all files into the given db. Hope this would help you. Thanks.

The final keyword in java

Hello friends, Welcome back 🙂. In this article, I'm going to give a short introduction to final keyword which would be helpful to know more about it. The final keyword in java has multiple uses. The main purpose of the final keyword is to add some restrictions on java elements (class, member and method). The restrictions have been described as below. Use of final keyword: 1. The final class : We can say the class is final when it declared as final. The restriction on final class is that the final class cannot be extended by any class. Rest of the behavior of the class remains same as any normal class. 2. The final method : The method declared using final keyword is to be said as final method. The restriction is that the final method cannot be overridden by derived class. This restriction applies to static method also. 3. The final member : The final member is the java class's member which is declared using final keyword. The restriction is that it can be initial...

XML tools on linux

Hello friends, Welcome back 🙂 In this article, we're going through XML tools which are useful for manipulation of XML. Recently I've worked on 3 tools so for now, adding those 3 tool's information, but as I get more, I'll update the article. These tools useful for validation and split/merge the XML. These tools available on both RHEL family and Debian family  linux which are same in use for both debian and RHEL. The tools are: 1. xmllint: This tool is used for xml validation. For some reason, we need to validate XML tags with its proper openings and closing i.e. syntactic validation, also we need to validate the data in the XML. The data can be different by its type which is defined in the XML's DTD, to detect this also, xmllint is useful. With this tool, there are multiple options we can use i.e. only syntactic validation, schema validation, DTD validation etc. When I was facing issue for validating the XML which having schema, I found this tool.
