Core Java


Java is a programming language and computing platform. Java has been released by Sun Micro System in 1995. In 2010, Oracle company acquired Sun Micro System.  Why java is most popular than the other technologies? means java has the very good features like, fast, secure, robust, reliable and more. Java mostly available into 3 different types. That are,
JSE (Java Standard Edition)
JEE (Java Enterprise Edition) 
JME (Java Mobile Edition)

Multithreading in java with example

Multithreading  is one of the most important concept in core java. In this article we will learn what is multithreading? , what is the use of it? and What is the use of Synchronization and when to use it?  with detailed examples. At a time, two or more threads are accessing the same object is called as Multithreading  in Java .  First, we will create two threads for two objects. It is also possible to run two or more threads on a single class object. In this case, there is a possibility to get unreliable results. If the two threads are perform same task, then they need same object to be executed each time. For your better understanding, take an example of any reservations like, railway, movie ticket booking,etc. Let us think only one berth is available in a train and two passengers are asking for that berth. The first person has sent a request to allocate that ticket/berth to him. At the same time, the second person also sent a request to allocate that ...

How to retrieve data from table by using JDBC with example

To retrieve data from mysql data table by using jdbc, we need to confirm weather which table data we need to retrieve. To confirm open your mysql and view all database names by using the ' show databases ' commands in mysql. Then select which is your database name from showing list of database names, by using the ' use <database name> ' command in mysql. Then we need to see all your existing tables by executing the ' show tables ' command. This command gives you the list of existing tables in your selected database. You need to use existing table only you can follow with that. But, here we will see with entirely new which is not existing in mysql database. Now, We will create simple mysql table with minimal columns. create table emp(eno integer(10), ename varchar(30), sal float); The above command creates a new table, we will move further to insert records into emp table by executing the insert which we mentioned in the below. ...

Prime, Fibonacci and Factorial number with example in java

Prime number, Fibonacci series and Factorial number programs are most commonly asked questions in interview. Read this article to know what is and how to write programs for prime number, fibonacci series and factorial number. Prime Number: prime number is natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisor other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 is not a prime number, is called Composite number . For example, 7 is a prime number. Because it can divide with 1 and 7 only. Where as 8 is composite number. Since it has the divisor 2 and 4 in addition to the 1 and 8. The below example represents the finding the passing number is prime number or not. If the passing number is prime number it will print true otherwise it will print false. package com . javatbrains . practice ; public class PrimeNumber { public boolean isPrimeNumber ( int number ) { if ( number <= 1 ) return false ; // There's only one ...

How to sort list of objects in java with examples

We could achieve list of objects sorting in java by using sort() method which is available under Collections class as well as by using Comparable and Comparator  interfaces. Comparable and Comparator are two interfaces in java used to sort list of objects. These interfaces are available under java.util package along with Collections  class and other classes and interfaces. Comparable interface contains the method of       public int compareTo(Object obj) Comparator interface contains the method of       public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) The compare() and compareTo() methods will return negative integer(-1), or zero(0) or positive integer(1). When the first obj1 is less than obj2 method will return negative integer. When obj1 is equals to obj2 will return zero and when obj1 is grater than obj2 it will return positive integer. If it's objects are stored in any Collection classes like ArrayList, H...

String interview questions and answers

String interview questions and answers are placed the current post as of my experience in interviews. This will helps who are trying to attend interview as fresher as well as experience. If any one is facing any other questions which are not present in the current page, please drop me an email to " subbareddynallamachu@gmail.com ".  Q1:  String is a class or data type? A: String is a class in java.lang package. But, in java, all classes are also are considered as data types. So we can take String as data type also. Q2:  What is the difference between == and equals() methods in java? A: == operator compares the references of the String object. It does not compare the content of the object. equals() method compares the contents. While comparing the Strings, equals method should be used as it yields the correct result. Q3:  What is String constant pool? A: String constant pool is a separate block of memory where the String objects are held by JVM....

Store file into table by using JDBC with example

To store large data files or text files into database table, we will use CLOB (Charecter Large Object) datatype of SQL . By using CLOB it is possible to save entire text book or a file or resume into a column of data table. If your using MySQL database instead of CLOB use LONGTEXT to save file into datatable. For saving files into a data table, we need to create one table which will contains a column type as CLOB to store files. Here, is the query to create a data table. 1 2 3 4 create table myfiles( file_id int ( 10 ), file_name varchar ( 30 ), file_type LONGTEXT); Once table creation completes, these table contains the 3 columns one is file_id represents the file id, file_name represents the name of the file and finally file_type will get save entire file into the table column. Now, we will move to write a JDBC program which will saves the file into the newly creating table. Here is the JDBC program, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16...
