10 Reasons to learn Node.js for Web Developers in 2023

In full-stack development, backend development is often considered more complicated and tougher. It's not easy to be a backend developer. Backend is considered the brain of the application and if anything goes wrong here, the whole application can collapse. So the backend should be solid and people working on it should be skilled. Backend development has advanced a lot in the last two decades. For years, backend development was dominated by PHP. But, when JavaScript was taken out of the browser, it changed everything. The emergence of Node.js in 2008 changed everything for the backend development community. JavaScript was no more a client-side language. Now, it could be used on the server-side too. Thus making it a full-stack programming language.

Angular vs React vs Vue.js ? Which is better to learn web development in 2023?

JavaScript web frameworks are important parts of modern web development. Several JavaScript web framework and libraries are active today. If you plan to become a web developer, you may encounter these web frameworks. A web developer, especially a front-end web developer should be skilled in at least one of these frameworks.

How to Find Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree in Java? Example Tutorial

Hello guys, if you are wondering how to find the lowest common ancestor of a binary tree in Java then you are at the right place. Earlier, I have shared 40+ binary tree questions and today I am going to share solution of one of the popular binary tree question here. To find the lowest common ancestor of a binary tree in java requires that we run through a binary search tree and how it operates. What then is a binary search tree? A Binary tree is a data structure in which each node can have at most two children. That is, each node in the binary tree will have data, left child and right child. The first node of the tree is called the Root.

8 Examples of Primitive Data Types In Java (int, long, boolean, float, double, byte, char, and short)

Hello guys, Data types are first few things you should learn when you start learning a programming language and when it comes to learn Java, there are 8 primitive data types which you should know. These are divided into three categories, numeric, text, and boolean values. Numeric data types can be further divided into two like natural numbers and floating pointing numbers. But, Before we get to a list of the 10 examples of primitive data types in Java, let me tell you a little bit more about what the primitive data types are. There are essentially 8 primitive data types in Java. They are int, byte, short, long, float, double, boolean, and char. The primitive data types are not considered objects and represent raw values. These primitive data types are also stored directly on the stack.

10 points on TCP/IP Protocol, Java Programmers should Know

TCP/IP is one of the most important protocol as its backbone of HTTP, internet and most of the communication happens today. It's also important from technical interview perspective, you might have already seen difference between TCP and UDP multiple time during interviews ( I have seen). I believe every programmer, not just Java developer should know what is TCP/IP protocol? How it works and the below points I am going to mention. These are basic points and most of you already know but during Interview I have found many developers who doesn't really know what TCP/IP offers and how it works and what are the pros and cons of TCP/IP protocol. That's where, I think this article will help you. Anyway, let's jump into technical details now.

How to write to a File with try-with-resource in Java? Example Tutorial

Hello Java programmers and all people learning Java, if you are familiar with try-wit-resource statement then you know that its a great language functionality and tool to open files, sockets, streams, and network connections or any resource which are require closing. Before try-with-resource was introduce in Java 7, Java developers have to manually write try catch finally block to close the connections for both success and failure cases to prevent resource leak but it was also tricky and many programmer make mistakes which actually resulted in resource leaks. One common example of that is running out of file descriptors which is used for both opening file and socket in Java.

What is try with resource in Java? Example tutorial

In Java we normally use resources like file, network connection, socket connection, database connection etc ,dealing with resources is not a difficult task but what if after using the resources programmers forget to close the resources. As we know in Java everything is Object so if we forget to close or shut down the resource its responsibility of GC that will recollect it when its no longer used but we can reduce resource exhaustion by explicitly closing the resources as soon we done with our job with the resources. Some resources like database connection are very precious and would surely run out of resources if waited for finalization. Many database servers only accept a certain number of connections so if forget to close properly will create problem.

How to get the first and last item in an array in Java? Example Tutorial

Firstly, before going about finding the first and the last item of an array in java. We need to fully understand what an array is and how it works. What then is an Array? An array is a data structure in java that holds values of the same type with its length specified right from creation time. Think of a container, like a crate of eggs or coke. What I am trying to say is that when you are creating your array, the items coming in must be the same as you have specified as length and you must specify how many items are coming. If you have stated that the items coming are integers, so it is and no other data type (e.g string, char e.t.c) can be there and vice versa. Or you can say an array is a collection of similar type of elements which has contiguous memory location.

Difference between array and Hashtable or HashMap in Java

A couple of days back someone asked me about the difference between an array and a hashtable, though this is a generic data structure and programming question, I'll answer it from both a general programming perspective as well on Java perspective where Hashtable is not just a data structure but also a class from Java Collection API. Even though both array and hashtable data structure are intended for fast search i.e. constant time search operation also known as O(1) search, the fundamental difference between them is that array require an index while hash table requires a key which could be another object.

Anonymous Class to Lambda Expression in Java 8? Example Tutorial

Hello guys, you may be thinking why I am talking about Anonymous class now when many Java programmers have already switched to Java 8 and many have already moved on from Anonymous class to Lambda expression in? Well, I am doing it because I am seeing many Java programmers who find it difficult to write and read code using lambda expression in new Java 8 way. It's also my own experience that if you know the problem first, you can better understand the solution (lambda expression). Some of you might remember, the opening scene of MI 2 (Mission Impossible 2), when Nekhorovich says to Dimitri that "Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires, a villain. Therefore, in our search for a hero, Belairiform, we created the monster, Chimera".

Java FileReader + BufferedReader Example

There are multiple ways to read a file in Java e.g. you can use a Scanner as we have seen in the last example, or you can use the BufferedReader class. The advantage of using a BufferedReader to read a text file is speed. It allows faster reading because of internal buffering provided by BufferedReader. Other Reader classes like FileReader access the file or disk every time you call the read() method but BufferedReader keeps 8KB worth of data in its internal buffer which you can read it without accessing the file multiple times. It's loaded when you access the file the first time for a subsequent read.

10 Examples of print(), println() and prinf() methods In Java - PrintStream

Hello guys, if you are working in Java or just started with Java then you have must come across statements like System.out.println("Hello world") to print something on console or command prompt. This is actually the first statement I wrote in Java when I started programming and at that time I didn't realize how it work and what is System and PrintStream class and what is out here but now I know and I am going to explain all this to you in this article, along with PrintStream class and its various print methods like print(), println() and particularly printf() to print various objects in Java. But, Before we get to the 10 examples of Printstream printf() in Java, let me tell you a little bit more about what exactly Printstream is.

Chain of Responsibility Pattern in Java? Example Tutorial

Hello guys, if you have been doing Java development then you must have come across design pattern, tried and tested solution of common software problem. In the past, we have looked at several popular Object Oriented Design Patterns in Java like Adapter, Decorator, State, Strategy, Template, Composite, Command, Observer, Factory, Builder, Visitor etc, and today I am going to talk about Chain of Responsibility design pattern in Java. The Chained or Chain of Responsibility Pattern is a design pattern that allows a request to be passed along a chain of objects until it is handled by one of the objects in the chain. This pattern is helpful for situations where it is not known in advance which object in the chain should handle the request, or where the request needs to be handled by multiple objects in the chain.

3 ways to convert String to JSON object in Java? Examples

It's very common nowadays to receive JSON String from a Java web service instead of XML, but unfortunately, JDK doesn't yet support conversion between JSON String to JSON object. Keeping JSON as String always is not a good option because you cannot operate on it easily, you need to convert it into a JSON object before you do anything else e.g. retrieve any field or set different values. Fortunately, there are many open-source libraries which allows you to create JSON object from JSON formatted String like Gson from Google, Jackson, and json-simple. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use these 3 main libraries to do this conversion with step-by-step examples.

Difference between Class and Object in Java? Example

Class and Object are two pillars of Java and any Object oriented programming language. There are multiple ways you can describe Class in Java, I will start with how I remember class from my college Days. That time, I used to remember that "A class is a blueprint to create object" and that's how I answer during viva or exam. While I know what is a blueprint, I didn't really understand what a class can do. Later, when I started coding, I learned about data types like int data type to hold integer values. String data type to hold text values.

How to convert List Of of Object to Map of Object (key, value) In Java? Example Tutorial

Hello guys, if you have a list of object and you want to conver into Map of object or key value pair then you can use different ways like looping over list and then adding values to map, or you can use Collectors.toMap() by using Stream API, You can even use flatMap() function if you want to convert list of one type of object to Map of another type of object. All this is possible and I will show you code example of how to do that in this article, But, before we get into the process of how you can convert a list of one object to another in Java, let me tell you a bit more about what Java really is.

JDBC - Difference between PreparedStatement and Statement in Java? Answer

If you have worked with database interfacing with Java using JDBC API then you may know that the JDBC API provides three types of Statements for wrapping an SQL query and sending it for execution to the database, they are aptly named as Statement, PreparedStatement, and CallableStatement. First, a Statement is used to execute normal SQL queries like select count(*) from Courses. You can also use it to execute DDL, DML, and DCL SQL statements.

Can you make a class static in Java? Example

This is one of the tricky questions in Java because there is no straightforward. Yes and No answer here. You cannot make a top-level class static in Java, but Yes, you can make a nested class static in Java. In fact, it is even advised (see Effective Java) to prefer a nested static class in Java to normal inner classes. Now, the question comes what is a top-level class, and what is a nested class in Java? Well, you can declare multiple classes in a single Java source file. A class is said to be the top-level if it is not inside any other class, and a class that is inside another class is known as a nested class. You can create a nested class inside another top-level or another nested class in Java. This is the class that can be static in Java.

Difference between Fixed and Cached Thread pool in Java Executor Famework

There are mainly two types of thread pools provided by Javas' Executor framework, one is fixed thread pool, which starts with fixed number of threads and other is cached thread pool which creates more threads if initial number of thread is not able to do the job. The newCachedThreadPool() method is used to create a cached pool, while newFixedThreadPool() is used to construct a thread of fixed size. Cached thread pool executes each task as soon as they are submitted, using an existing thread if its idle or creating new threads otherwise, while in case of fixed thread pool, if more tasks are submitted then idle threads then those task are put into a queue and later executed once any other task has finished.

Difference in Method Overloading, Overriding, Hiding, Shadowing and Obscuring in Java and Object-Oriented Programming?

Hello guys, today, I am going to explain a couple of fundamental object-oriented programming concepts in Java, like Overloading, Overriding, Hiding, Shadowing, and Obscuring. The first two are used in the context of a method in Java while the last three are used in the context of variables in Java. Two methods with the same name and same class but the different signature is known as overloading and the method is known as an overloaded method while a method with the same name and same signature but in parent and child class is known as overriding. On the other hand, Hiding is related to overriding since the static and private method cannot be overridden, if you declare such methods with the same name and signature in parent and child class then the method in the child class will hide the method in the parent class.

Difference Between Iterator and Enumeration In Java

What is the difference between Iterator and Enumeration in Java is one of the oldest core Java Interview Questions. While I haven't seen this question for a long time, I still think its an important concept to know and remember for Java developers, especially those who are tasked to work in existing project which may be using Enumeration. The Iterator and Enumeration are two interfaces in Java and used for traversing in java collection we found these two interface in the java.util package .whenever we go for an interview if interviewer goes in collection topic he will often ask the difference between this two .so let's see one by one difference between this two and compare which is used when and which one is better.

Difference between child and descendent selectors in jQuery in CSS?

Main difference between descendant and child selector in jQuery or CSS is that descendant selector selects all dom elements whether they are its direct children or not, on the other hand child selector only select direct childrens. Its very easy to understand if you know meaning of descendant and child. For example, my daughter is both my child and descendant but my granddaughter is not my child but descendant. Same definition work in both CSS and jQuery world Since jQUery got his selector from CSS itself, any difference between descendant and child selector which is valid for CSS is also valid for jQuery, unless otherwise stated.

5 Difference between Iterator and ListIterator in Java?

The Iterator is the standard way to traverse a collection in Java. You can use Iterator to traverse a List, Set, Map, Stack, Queue, or any Collection, but you might not know that there is another way to traverse over List in Java? Yes, it's called the ListIterator. There are many differences between Iterator and ListIterator in Java, but the most significant of them is that Iterator only allows you to traverse in one direction, I mean forward, you have just got a next() method to get the next element, there is no previous() method to get the previous element.

HelloWorld Program in Java with Example

First of all, welcome to the exciting world of Java programming.

If you haven't done so then you can follow those tutorials to install JDK in Windows 7 and 8 and setting PATH for Java. Before we start writing HelloWorld in Java, few notes about editors. Many Java beginners insist or try to use Eclipse or Netbeans IDE from the very start of the first program, which is not a good idea.

Difference between GenericServlet vs HttpServlet in Servlet JSP - J2EE question

Difference between GenericServlet and HttpServlet is one of the classic Servlet Interview Question, asked on many Servlet and JSP Interviews on 2 to 4 years experience developers. Since both GenericServlet and HttpServlet form the basis of Servlets its important to know What are they and What is main difference between them. From common sense and there names, its obvious that GenericServlet is a generic and protocol-independent implementation of Servlet interface while HttpServlet implements HTTP protocol specifics. If you are working in Java web application or J2EE projects, you are most likely to deal with HttpServlet all time as HTTP is main communication protocol of web. In this Servlet JSP article we will outline some important difference between HttpServlet and GenericServlet which is worth knowing and remembering.

How to iterate over HashSet in Java - loop or traverse Example

Iterating over HashSet in Java

In our last Java collection tutorial, we have seen How to iterate over ArrayList in Java and in this tutorial we will see How to iterate over HashSet in Java. There are two ways to iterate, loop or traverse over HashSet in Java, first using advanced for-each loop added on Java 5 and second using Iterator which is a more conventional way of iterating over HashSet in Java. Now questions are When should you use for loop and when Iterator is an appropriate option. Well I usually use for loop If I only read from HashSet and doesn't remove any element, while Iterator is preferred approach. You should not remove elements from HashSet while iterating over it in for loop, Use Iterator to do that.

How to Fix java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stack map frame at branch target 14 in method at offset JDK 7 [Solved]

Hello guys, today, we'll take a look at the not-so-common error for Java applications. If you have been working in Java for a couple of years then you might have seen this dreaded "java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stack map frame at branch target 14 in method at offset JDK 7" error in your application log or in Eclipse, particularly if you are running your Java application in Java 7. The main cause of this error, "java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stack map frame at branch target ... in the method ... at offset 0 error comes when you have some library, JAR file which is only compatible with Java 1.6 or below and you are running your program in JDK 1.7.

When to throw and catch Exception in Java? [Best Practice]

Exceptions are one of the confusing and misunderstood topics in Java, but at the same time, too big to ignore. In fact, good knowledge of Errors and Exception handling practices is one criterion, which differentiates a good Java developer from an average one. So what is confusing about Exception in Java? Well, many things like When to throw Exception or When to catch Exception, When to use checked exception or unchecked exception, should we catch errors like java.lang.OutOfMemoryError? Shall I use an error code instead of an Exception and a lot more? Well, I cannot answer all these questions in one post, so I will pick the first one when to catch or throw any Exception in Java.

How to Fix java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Error converting data type float to numeric - Java + SQL Server

This error can come if you are inserting or updating a NUMERIC column in the Microsoft SQL Server database from a Java Program using the executeUpdate()method, I mean executing a batch update query. It could also happen if you are calling a stored procedure and passing a float value corresponding to a NUMERIC column, and the value happened to be out-of-range like generating "Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric" on the SQL Server end. For example, if your column is defined as NUMERIC (6,2) the maximum value it can represent is 9999.99, not 999999.99.

How to Fix SQLServerException: The index is out of range? JDBC Example

I was executing a stored procedure against SQL SERVER 2008 database from Java program using CallableStatement, but unfortunately, I was getting the following error "SQLServerException: The index 58 is out of range". Since I am passing a lot of parameters I thought that something is wrong with a number of parameters I was passing to the stored proc. My stored procedure had 58 INPUT parameters, as soon as I removed the 58th INPUT parameter the error goes away, which confirmed my belief that SQL Server supports a maximum of 57 INPUT parameters in stored procedure via JDBC.

How to deal with java.lang.NullPointerExceptionin Java? Cause, Solution, and Tips to avoid NPE

Hello Java programmers, if you want to learn what is NullPointerExcpeiton in Java and how to deal with NullPointerException or NPE then you have come to the right place. NullPointerException in Java is an unchecked Exception defined in java.lang package and comes when a member of an object either field or method is called on an object which is null. null is a keyword in Java that means nothing and the calling method on an object whose value is null will result in NullPointerException. Since the default value of Object is null, if you call any method or access any field on an Object which is not initialized will throw NullPointerException.

How to solve java.sql.BatchUpdateException: String or binary data would be truncated in Java JDBC? [Solution]

Recently I was working in a Java application that uses Microsoft SQL Server at its backend. The architecture of the Java application was old i.e. even though there was heavy database communication back and forth there was no ORM used like no Hibernate, JPA, or Apache iBatis. The Java application was using an old DAO design pattern, where the DB related classes which are responsible for loading and storing data from the database was calling the stored procedure to do their job. These stored procedures take data from Java applications and insert it into SQL Server tables.

How to deal with Unsupported major.minor version 55.0, 57,0, 60.0, 61.0 in Java + Eclipse + Linux [Solution]

The "unsupported major.minor version 55.0" error started to come after Java SE 11 release and the root cause of this error is trying to run a Java application compiled with JDK 11 into a JRE lower than Java SE 11 like JRE 9 or JRE 8. This is very common because a developer has updated their compiler or IDE to Java SE 11 but many times their runtime is not upgraded to Java 11. If you remember, in Java you can run a class file compiled with a lower version say Java 8 to a higher version say JRE 11 because Java is backward compatible but vice-versa is not allowed. I mean, you cannot run a JAR file or class file created by Java 11 version into Java 8 or Java 9 version. Similarly, you cannot run a Java SE 17 compiled class file in Java SE 11 or Java SE 13 runtime environment.

How to Fix java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException [Solution]

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException comes when your program is using the DOM4j library but necessary JAR is not present. This error can also come when you are indirectly using the DOM4j library like when you use the Apache POI library to read the XLSX file in Java, this library needs dom4j.jar in your classpath. Not just this one but there are several other libraries that use this JAR internally, if you are using any of them but don't have this JAR then your program will compile fine but fail at runtime because JVM will try to load this class but will not be able to find it on the classpath.

What is Synchronized Keyword and Method in Java? Example

synchronized keyword in Java is one of the two important keywords related to concurrent programming in Java, the other being a volatile keyword. the synchronized keyword is used to provide mutual exclusion, thread safety, and synchronization in Java. Unlike Volatile keyword, synchronized keyword is not an application to instance variable and you can only use synchronized keyword either with synchronized method or block. synchronized keyword work with the concept of lock, any thread which holds a lock on which synchronized method or block is locked, can enter otherwise thread will wait till it acquires the lock. In Java programming language every object holds a lock and every class holds a lock, like two String objects s1, s2 holds two different object lock,s and String.class is used to represent class lock.

What is Normalization in SQL? 1NF, 2nd NF, 3rd NF and BCNF Example Tutorial

What is Normalization?

Normalization is one of the essential concept of relational database. It is the process or technique to remove duplicate data from tables and thus reduce the storage size. It also helps to maintain integrity of data. Normalization likewise assists with coordinating the information in the data set. It is a multi-step process that sets the information into even structure and eliminates the copied information from the relational tables. Normalization coordinates the segments and tables of a data set to guarantee that data set integrity constraints appropriately execute their conditions. It is an orderly method of deteriorating tables to take out information overt repetitiveness (redundant) and unfortunate qualities like Insertion, Update, and Deletion anomalies.
