How to create a String or int Array in Java? Example Tutorial

There are several ways to create an array in Java, for example, you can declare the array without initializing it, or you can create and initialize the array in the same line. If you want to make an array with values, then you need to first decide which type of array you want to create? e.g., do you want a String array, which can contain String objects like "abc," "def," or do you want to create an int array that contains int values like 10, 20, etc. In Java, you can create an array of any type, including primitives like byte, int, long, and objects like String, Integer, and other user-defined objects.

How to use Map.compute(), computeIfPresent() and ComputeIfAbsent in Java? HashMap and ConcurrentHashMap Example

The JDK 8 has added several useful methods in existing interfaces e.g. java.util.Map, java.util.Collection, and java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap. Thanks to default methods, the much-needed evolution of existing interfaces becomes possible. Out of many useful methods, one method which stands out to me is the compute() method, which allows you to update a value in ConcurrentHashMap atomically. As per Java documentation, The compute() function tries to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (or null if there is no current mapping). The entire function is performed atomically.

How to use LinkedList in Java? Singly LinkedList and Doubly LinkedList Example Tutorial

Hello friends, we meet again on our journey to Java. I hope you guys are enjoying Java and are trying hands-on too. Today we are gonna discuss a very easy topic (yeah, I mean it :p). But, do not get carried away just by "easy", this is the hottest topic asked in various interviews, exams, and development purposes too. So, what's the wait? Let's start!  As usual, let's start with a scenario. Let's say you want a data structure that stores data in a sequential manner, like an array. But, you don't know the size yet while initializing the data structure. Arrays don't support that, they need a size beforehand. So, what should we do? Do not worry, as Java is here to help us again. Let's explore it then!

Difference between JIT and JVM in Java? Answered

The main difference between JIT and JVM is that JIT is part of JVM itself and its main function is to improve the performance of JVM by directly compiling some hot code (code that executes above a certain threshold) into native instruction. JIT stands for Just In time compilation and JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine. JVM is a virtual machine used in Java programming platforms to execute or run Java programs. The main advantage of JVM is that JVM  makes Java platform-independent by executing bytecodes. Java source code is compiled into class files, which contain bytecode.
