How to parse String to LocalDate in Java 8 - DateTimeFormatter Example

From Java 8 onward, you are no longer dependent on the buggy and bulky SimpleDateFormat class to parse and format date Strings into real Date objects in Java e.g. java.util.Date. You can use the DateTimeFormatter class from java.time package for all your formatting and parsing need. You are also no longer required to use another buggy class java.util.Date if you are doing fresh development, but if you have to support legacy code then you can also easily convert LocalDate and LocalTime to java.util.Date or java.sql.Date. In this tutorial, we will learn about both parsing String to date in Java and formatting Date into String.

How to Convert String to LocalDateTime in Java 8 - Example Tutorial

Hello guys, today, I will talk about a common problem while working in a Java application, yes you guessed it right, I am talking about String to Date conversion in Java. I had discussed this before (see the Date to String) when Java 8 was not out, but with Java 8, I don't see any reason to use old date and time API, and hence I am writing this post to teach you how to convert String to Date in Java 8 or beyond. Suppose you have a date-time String "2016-03-04: 11:01:20" and you want to convert this into a LocalDateTime object of Java 8 new date and time API, how do you do that? Well, if you have worked previously with String and Date then you know that you can parse String to Date in Java.

How to Calculate Next Date and Year in Java? LocalDate and MonthDay Example Tutorial

Hello guys, if you are wondering how to calculate the next premium date, next birthday, or exact date for the next Christmas holiday in Java then you have come to the right place. Earlier, I have shared 20+ examples of Date and Time in Java, and in this article, I will show you how you can use the LocalDate and MonthDay class from the new Java 8 Date and Time package to calculate the next or previous date in Java. This new API is very well structured and you have classes to represent different Date concepts, for example, you can use LocalDate to represent a Date without time components like the next premium date or employee joining date or birth date.

How to find difference between two dates in Java 8? Example Tutorial

One of the most common programming task while working with date and time objects are calculating the difference between dates and finding a number of days, months, or years between two dates. You can use the Calendar class in Java to get days, months between two dates. The easiest way to calculate the difference between two dates is by calculating milliseconds between them by converting java.util.Date to milliseconds using the getTime() method. The catch is converting those milliseconds into Days, Months and Year is not tricky due to leap years, the different number of days in months, and daylight saving times.

How to get current Day, Month, Year from Date in Java? LocalDate vs java.util.Date Example

In this article, I'll show you how to get the current day, month, year, and dayOfWeek in Java 8 and earlier version like Java 6 and JDK 1.7. Prior to Java 8, you can use the Calendar class to get the various attribute from java.util.Date in Java. The Calendar class provides a get() method which accepts an integer field corresponding to the attribute you want to extract and return the value of the field from the given Date, as shown here. You might be wondering, why not use the getMonth() and getYear() method of java.util.Date itself, well, they are deprecated and can be removed in the future version, hence it is not advised to use them.

How to convert Timestamp to Date in Java?JDBC Example Tutorial

In the last article, I have shown you how to convert Date to Timestamp in Java and today we'll learn about converting timestamp value from database to Date in Java. As you remember, the JDBC API uses separate Date, Time, and Timestamp classes to confirm DATE, TIME, and DATETIME data type from the database, but most of the Java object-oriented code is written in java.util.Date. This means you need to know how to convert the timestamp to date and vice-versa. You can do by using the getTime() method, which returns the number of millisecond from Epoch value.

How to create and initialize List or ArrayList in one line in Java? Example

creating and initializing List at the same time

Sometimes we want to create and initialize a List like ArrayList or LinkedList in one line much like creating an array and initializing it on the same line. If you look at The array on Java programming language you can create and initialize both primitive and object arrays e.g. String array very easily in just one line but in order to create a List equivalent of that array, you need to type a lot of code. This is also one of the tricky Java question sometimes appears in Interview as Write Java code to create and initialize ArrayList in the same line.

Difference between include directive, include action and JSTL import tag in JSP? Answer

There are three main ways to include the content of one JSP into another:

include directive

JSP include action

and JSTL import tag

The include directive provides static inclusion. It adds the content of the resource specified by its file attribute, which could be HTML, JSP, or any other resource at translation time.

Any change you make in the file to be included after JSP is translated will not be picked up by the include directive.

Difference between UNION vs UNION ALL in SQL? Example

Hello guys, what is the difference between UNION vs UNION ALL is one of the most popular SQL interview questions and often asked programmers during a telephonic round of interviews. Though both UNION and UNION ALL is used to combine results of two SELECT queries, the main difference between them is that UNION doesn't include duplicate record but UNION ALL does. Another difference between them is that UNION ALL is faster than UNION but may look slow because it returns more data which takes more time to travel via the network. The difference between UNION and UNION ALL can be a tricky SQL question, especially for developers, who have not used this useful keyword ever.

Can you join two unrelated tables in SQL? Cross Join Example

In one of the recent programming job interviews, one of my readers was asked the question, how do you join two tables which are not related to each other? i.e. they don't have any common column? is it possible in SQL? My reader got confused because he only knows about INNER join and OUTER join which require a key column like dept_id which is the primary key in one table like Department and foreign key in another table like Employee. He couldn't answer the question, though he did tell them about you can select data from multiple tables by typing multiple table names in from clause using a comma.
