Java.lang.StringBuffer Class
The java.lang.StringBuffer class is a thread-safe, mutable sequence of characters. Following are the important points about StringBuffer:
A string buffer is like a String, but can be modified. It contains some particular sequence of characters, but
the length and content of the sequence can be changed through certain method calls.
They are safe for use by multiple threads. Every string buffer has a capacity.
Class declarationFollowing is the declaration for java.lang.StringBuffer class:
public final class StringBuffer
extends Object
implements Serializable, CharSequence
oops:
1)object oriented programming system(oops)
The features related to object oriented programming system are
1)class/object
2)Encapsulation
3)Abstraction
4)Inheritance
5)polymorpism
class/object:Entire oops metholodogy has been derived from a single root concept called object.An object is nothing that really exists in the worldand can be distiunshed from others.
string name;
int age;
char sex;
It is possible that some object s may have similar properties and objects .such objects belong to some category a class.
variables variables
name raju
age 25
sex Male
methods methods
talking Talk()
walking walk()
eating eat()
A class is a modeal for creating objects and does not exit phyisically,An object is actually that exits phyisically,Both the class and objects contain variable and methods
Class person
//Properties of a person ---variable
string Name;
int age;
//Action done by a person --method
Void talk()
{
}
void eat()
{
}
}
encapsulation:The encapsulation is achieved by combining the methods and attribute into a class.The class acts like a container.
Int id;
string name;
Encapsulation in java:
class person
{
//Variable _data
private string name;
private int age
//method
public void talk()
{
system.out.println("Hello,I am "+name);
system.out.println("my age is "+age);
}
}
abastraction:There me be a lot af data a class contains and the user does not need the entire data.The user requires only some part of the available data. In these case ,we can hide the unnecessary data from the user and expose only the data is of interest to the user .This is called abstraction
Eg:Class bank
{
Privcate int accno;
private string name;
private float balance;
private float profit;
private float loan;
Public void display_to_cleark()
{
System.out.printl=n("aCCNO="+aCCNO);
System.out.printl=n("NAME="+name);
System.out.printl=n("balance="+balance);
}
}
Inheritance:Inheritance is the property whicH Allows a child class to inherit some properties from its parent class.
class b extends a
{
}
eg:
class a
{
protected int a;
protected int b;
public void method ()
{
}
}
class b extends a
private int c;
public void method 2()
{
}
}
polymorphism:
The word polymorphisim came from the greek word ply means many and morphos means meaning
The ability to define more than one function with the same name is called as ploymorphism
Class one
{
Void calculate (int x)]
{
system .out .println("square value ="+?(x*x));
}
}
class two extends one
{
void calculate (int x)
system.out.println("cute value="+(x*x*x));
}
}
collections:
A collection Framework is a class library to handle goups of
objects collection is a framework implemented in
java.util.package
A collection object or a container object is an object which can
store a group of other objects.
java .util
collection class
collection objects
A group of objects stored in a single collection objects.
Sets: A set represents group of elements arranged just like an
array. The sets will grow dynamically when the elements are
stored into it. A set will not allow duplicate elements. If we try to
pass the same element that is already in the set, then it is not
shared into the set.
List:
Lists are like sets ,they store a group of elements, But list
allows duplicate values to be stored.
Queues:
A queues represents arrangement of elements in FIFO(First in
first out) order. This means elements into the queue will be
removed first from the queue.
Maps:
Maps are stored elements in the form of key and value pairs .If
the key value is provided then it is corresponding value can be
obtained of course ,the key should have unique value.
Iterator interface:
Iterator is an interface that contains methods to retrieve the
elements one by one from a collection object. It has 3 methods
Boolean has next():The method returns true if the iterator has
more elements.
Element next(): The method returns the next element in the
itetrator.
Void remove: This method removes from the collection the lost
elements returned by the iterator.
List Iterator Interface:
List iterator is an interface that contains methods retrieve the
elements from a collection object ,both in forward and reverse
diretions.
Enumeration interface: This interface is useful to retrieve one
by one elements like the Iterator It has 2 methods
Boolean has more elements():
This method tests if the enumeration has any more elements or
not.
Elements next Elements():This returns the next element thats is
avilable in the Enumeration.
Java Exceptions :l
Exception are used in Java to handle errors or any other
exceptional event that occurs in the normal flow of program.
There are several way Exception can occur in Java.
Data provided is not in expected format(eg. int instead of
String).
DB can not connected.
Network connection Lost.
Object is null.
JVM running out of memory is a type of Error which can occur
at runtime.
Overloading:
Overloaded method gives you an option to use the same
method name in a class but with different argument.
Overloading Method Rules
There are some rules associated with overloaded method.
Overloaded methods
Must change the argument list
Can change the return type
Can change the access modifier(Broader)
Can declare new or broader checked exception
A method can be overloaded in Class or in SubClass.
Overloading Method Example
1
2
3
//Overloaded method with two argument
public void add(int input1, int input2) {
System.out.println("In method with two argument");
4
5
6
7
8
9
}
//Overloaded method with one argument
public void add(int input1) {
System.out.println("In method with one argument");
}
Java Method Override:
Class inheriting the method from its super class has the option
to override it. Benefit of overriding is the ability to define
behaviour specific to particular class.
Method Overriding Example

public class ParentClass
{
public void show()
{
System.out.println("Show method of Super class");

}
}
public class SubClass extends ParentClass
{
//below method is overriding the ParentClass version of show method
public void show()
{
System.out.println("Show method of Sub class");
}
}
Method Override Rules
Overriding method can not have more restrictive access
modifier than the method being overriden but it can be less.
The argument list must exactly match that of the overriden
method, if they don’t it is more likely that you are
overloading the method.
Return type must be the same as, or subtype of the return
type declared in overriden method in Super class.
Overriding method can throw any unchecked
exception(Runtime)but it can throw checked exception
which is broader or new than those declared by the
overriden method but it can not throw fewer or narrow
checked exception.
Final method can not be overriden.
Static methods can not be overriden.
If a method cannot be inherited then it cannot be overriden.
HashMap
HashMap is HashTable based implementation of Map. This is
the reason why interviewer always ask for difference between
HashMap and HashTable. HashMap is mostly equals to
HashTable except below two differences.
1. HashMap is unsynchronized while HashTable is
synchronised. which means hash table can be shared
between multiple threads but hash map cannot be shared.
2. HashMap permits null while HashTable doesn’t.
3. one more diference is that because of threads safety and
synchronization hash Table is mush slower than hash map
if used in single thread
Example of HashMap
1. How to iterate a Map
2. Different ways of iterating a Map
3. When HashCode and Equals will get called. (Pay close
attention to output of HashCode and equals method call)
12345678910111213141516
import java.util.HashMap;import java.util.Iterator;import java.util.Map;import java.util.Set; public class HashMapExample { public static void main(String[] args) { Map<JBT, Integer> m1 = new HashMap<JBT, Integer>(); JBT t1 = new JBT(1, 2); JBT t2 = new JBT(1, 3); JBT t3 = new JBT(2, 1);

m1.put(t1, 1); m1.put(t2, 2); m1.put(t3, 3); System.out.println("Addition Done"); /* * Below you can find 3 different ways to iterate a Map. Uncomment * different section and see the different in Output. Pay attention to * when Hashcode and Equals is called */ /* Set s = m1.entrySet(); for (Iterator i = s.iterator(); i.hasNext();) { Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry) i.next(); System.out.println(me.getKey() + " : " + me.getValue()); }*//* for (Map.Entry<JBT, Integer> entry : m1.entrySet()) { System.out.println("Key : " + entry.getKey() + " Value : " + entry.getValue()); }*/ for (Object key : m1.keySet()) { System.out.println("Key : " + key.toString() + " Value : " + m1.get(key)); } }} class JBT { JBT(int i, int j) { this.i = i; this.j = j;
54555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778
} int i, j; @Override public int hashCode() { System.out.println("Inside HashCode Method"); int k = i + j; return k; } @Override public boolean equals(Object obj) { System.out.println("Inside Equals Method"); if (i == ((JBT) obj).i && j == ((JBT) obj).j) return true; else return false; } @Override public String toString() { return String.valueOf(i).concat(String.valueOf(j)); } }
Java Hashtable class
o A Hashtable is an array of list.Each list is known as a bucket.The position of bucket is identified by calling the hashcode() method.A Hashtable contains values based on the key. It implements the Map interface and extends Dictionary class.
o It contains only unique elements.o It may have not have any null key or value.
o It is synchronized.
Example of Hashtable:
1. import java.util.*; 2. class TestCollection16{ 3. public static void main(String args[]){ 4. 5. Hashtable<Integer,String> hm=new Hashtable<Integer,String
>(); 6. 7. hm.put(100,"Amit"); 8. hm.put(102,"Ravi"); 9. hm.put(101,"Vijay"); 10. hm.put(103,"Rahul"); 11. 12. for(Map.Entry m:hm.entrySet()){ 13. System.out.println(m.getKey()+" "+m.getValue()); 14. } 15. } 16.

What is Serialization
Serialization is a process in which current state of Object will be
saved in stream of bytes. As byte stream create is platform
neutral hence once objects created in one system can be
deserialized in other platform.
What is the use of Serialization
As written above serialization will translate the Object state to
Byte Streams. This B
yte stream can be used for different purpose.
Write to Disk
Store in Memory
Sent byte stream to other platform over network
Save byte stream in DB(As BLOB)
Serialization and Deserialization in Java
Now we know what is serialization. But in terms of Java how
this serialization will work and how to make a class serializable.
Java has already provided out of the box
way(java.io.Serializable Interface) to serialize an Object. If you
want any class to be serialized then that class needs to
implement give interface.
Note*: Serializable Interface is a Marker Interface. Hence there
is no method in Serializable interface.
Code for Serialization of Java Class
Employee.java
123456789101112
package com.jbt; import java.io.Serializable; public class Employee implements Serializable{ public String firstName; public String lastName; private static final long serialVersionUID = 5462223600l;}
SerializaitonClass.java
123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627
package com.jbt; import java.io.FileOutputStream;import java.io.IOException;import java.io.ObjectOutputStream; public class SerializaitonClass { public static void main(String[] args) { Employee emp = new Employee(); emp.firstName = "Vivekanand"; emp.lastName = "Gautam"; try { FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("./employee.txt"); ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOut); out.writeObject(emp); out.close(); fileOut.close(); System.out.printf("Serialized data is saved in ./employee.txt file"); } catch (IOException i) { i.printStackTrace(); } }}
DeserializationClass.java
12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728
package com.jbt; import java.io.*; public class DeserializationClass { public static void main(String[] args) { Employee emp = null; try { FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("./employee.txt"); ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn); emp = (Employee) in.readObject(); in.close(); fileIn.close(); } catch (IOException i) { i.printStackTrace(); return; } catch (ClassNotFoundException c) { System.out.println("Employee class not found"); c.printStackTrace(); return; } System.out.println("Deserializing Employee..."); System.out.println("First Name of Employee: " + emp.firstName); System.out.println("Last Name of Employee: " + emp.lastName); }}
First run “SerializaitonClass” and you will get “employee.txt”
file created.
Second run “DeserializationClass” and java will deserialize
the class and value will be printed in console.
Output would be
12345
Deserializing Employee...First Name of Employee: VivekanandLast Name of Employee: Gautam
Java Interface
Creating an Interface means defining a Contract. This Contract
states what a class can do without forcing how it should do.
Declaring an Interface
Interface can be defined with Interface keyword.
Java Interface Example
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
public interface MyInterface
{
int i=0;
public void Height(int height);
public abstract void setHeight();
}
Rules for Declaring Interface
There are some rules that needs to be followed by Interface.
All Interface methods are implicitly public and abstract. Even
if you write these keyword it will not create problem as you
can see in second method declaration.
Interfaces can declare only Constant. Instance variables are
not allowed. It means all variables inside Interface must be
public, static, final. Variables inside interface are implicitly
public static final.
Interface methods can not be static.
Interface methods can not be final, strictfp or native.
Interface can extend one or more other interface. Note:
Interface can only extend other interface.
Interface vs Abstract Class
Interface are like 100% Abstract Class. Interface can not
have non abstract methods while abstract class can have. A
Class Can implement more than one interface while Class can
extend only one class. As Abstract class comes in hierarchy of
Classes it can extend other classes too while Interface can only
extend Interfaces.
Use Interface in Class
How can we take the advantage of Interface after creating it in
Java. To take the advantage we need to implement or class
with given Interface. Implement keyword can be used for this
purpose.
Examples of Class Implementing Interface

}
Java Thread :
Thread term can be used in two ways
An instance of class java.lang.Thread
A Thread of Execution
An Instance of Thread is an object like any other object in Java,
it contains variables and methods which lives and dies on the
heap. But a Thread of Execution is an individual process which
has its ownstack call. Even if you don’t create any thread in
your program, thread will be running there and main() method
will start that.
Note: In case of thread most of thing is unpredictable.
Type of Thread
Thread can be of two types.
User Thread
Daemon Thread
Difference between these two type of thread is that JVM exit an
application only when all User Thread are complete. JVM
doesn’t care about the status of Daemon Thread.
Thread Definition
A thread can be defined in two ways
Extend the java.lang.Thread class.
Implement the Runnable interface.
Extending Java Thread class:
Class need to extend the Thread class & Override the
run()method.
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
class MyThread extends Thread
{
public void run()
{
System.out.println("Important job running in MyThread");
}
}
But the problem with this approach is that class can not extend
any more class.
Note : run method can be overloaded in class. but only run()
method(without argument) will be consider by JVM. Any other
overridden method will needs to be called explicitly.
Implements runnnable interface
Class needs to implement runnable interface and override the
run() method. Creating Thread in this way gives you flexibility
to extend any class you like.
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Important job running in MyRunnable");
} }
Instantiating Thread :
Every thread of execution begins as an instance of class
Thread. In any case Thread objects needs to be created before
creating Thread of Execution.
Creating Thread object is different for both the cases. In case of
Extending Thread class you can directly initiate class with new
keyword as it has extended Thread class itself.
1 MyThread t = new MyThread()
In case of implimenting Runnable interface. First created
runnable class needs to be instatiated.
1 MyRunnable r = new MyRunnable();
Now pass this runnable object to Thread.
1 Thread t = new Thread(r);
If you create a thread using the no-arg constructor, the thread
will call its own run(). This happened in first case(Extending
Thread class) But in case of Runnable Thread class needs to
know that run method from class implementing runnnable
interface needs to be invoked instead of run() from Thread
class. So we need to pass the class as argument to Thread.
Single runnable instance can be passed to multiple Thread
object.

public class TestThreads {
public static void main (String [] args) {
MyRunnable r = new MyRunnable();
Thread foo = new Thread(r);
Thread bar = new Thread(r);
Thread bat = new Thread(r);
}}
Giving the same target to multiple threads means that several
threads of execution will be running the very same job (and that
the same job will be done multiple times).
Note : The Thread class itself implements Runnable. (After all,
it has a run() method that we were overriding.) This means that
you could pass a Thread to another Thread’s constructor.
Overloaded constructor in Thread class:
1
2
3
4
Thread()
Thread(Runnable target)
Thread(Runnable target, String name)
Thread(String name)
Till now we have created Thread object and it knows what to do
in form of run() method. But till now it is still an object. It does
not have its own call stack. In other words Thread of execution
has not been started. A Thread object will have its own stack
only when start() method will be called on Thread.
Till now Thread has 2 states.
New state (Thread object created but Start method not
invoked)
runnable(alive) state (start method is invoked )
Note : Calling run() method from java code directly mean that
you are invoking a method and stack will not be created.
When a Thread is in runnable state means Thread is created
but it’s run method is not yet executed and thread is waiting for
his turn. Once Thread got selected thread’s run method will
execute and that state will called running state.
Thread Scheduler :
The thread scheduler is the part of the JVM that decides which
thread should run at any given moment, and also takes threads
out of the run state. Any thread in the runnable state can be
chosen by the scheduler to be the one and only running thread.
If a thread is not in a runnable state, then it cannot be chosen
to be the currently running thread. Some method that can
influence scheduler to some extent(Note*: We can’t control the
behavior of Thread scheduler)
These methods are from Thread class

Till now we come across 3 state of Thread
New
Runnable
Running
There are some more state of thread in which Thread will not
be eligible to run.
Waiting/blocked/sleeping
Dead
A thread is in Dead state when its run method completed its
execution.
Sleeping
The sleep() method is a static method of class Thread. (where
it still has to beg to be the currently running thread). as it is
static method only currently running Thread will sleep. Syntax
would be : Thread.sleep()
yield: yield method is related with the priority of Thread. It is
also static method so it works only on currently running thread.
Scheduler make it sure that If a thread enters the runnable
state, and it has a higher priority than any of the threads in the
pool and a higher priority than the currently running thread, the
lower-priority running thread usually will be bumped back to
runnable and the highest-priority thread will be chosen to run.
at any given time the currently running thread usually will not
have a priority that is lower than any of the threads in the pool.
yield() is supposed to do is make the currently running thread
head back to runnable to allow other threads of the same
priority to get their turn.
Join()
Join is a non static method. It lets one thread “join onto the end”
of another thread. If you join Thread B to Thread A Thread B
will not start untill Thread A complets.
Syntax :
1

Thread t = new Thread();
t.start();
t.join();
takes the currently running thread and joins it to the end of the
thread referenced by t
There are several other way in which Thread can leave running
state and can return to Runnable state. run methods completes
a call to wait()
Synchronize: It works with Lock. Lock is of two type.
Static lock
Non static lock
Note: There is only one lock per object. Once a thread got the
lock of an object no other thread can enter the synchronise
block/method of given object.
Only methods/block can be synchronised not variable or class.
A class can have both synchronised / non synchronised
method.
Thread can access non synchronised block even if one Thread
got the lock of give object.
If a thread goes to sleep, it holds any locks it has. A thread can
have Lock of different object at the same time.

class SyncTest {
public void doStuff() {
System.out.println("not synchronized");
synchronized(this) {

System.out.println("synchronized");
}}}
Synchronised Static method :
There is only one copy of the static data, so you only need one
lock per class to synchronize static methods—a lock for the
whole class. There is such a lock; every class loaded in Java
has a corresponding instance of java.lang.Class representing
that class. It’s that java.lang.Class instance whose lock is used
to protect the static methods of the class.
Syntax:
1

public static synchronized int getCount() {
return count;
}
MyClass.class thing is called a class literal. It tells the compiler
(who tells the JVM): go and find me the instance of Class that
represents the class called MyClass.
Note : Threads calling non-static synchronized methods in the
same class will only block each other if they’re invoked using
the same instance. As there is only one lock per instance.
Threads calling static synchronized methods in the same class
will always block each other— As there is only one lock per
class.
A static synchronized method and a non-static synchronized
method will not block each other. As they need lock for different
thing(Object & class)
Note : join(), sleep(), yield() these methods keep locks. while
wait release Lock.
What are mutable objects and immutable objects?An Immutable object is a kind of object whose state cannot be modified after it is created. This is as opposed to a mutable object, which can be modified after it is created.
In Java, objects are referred by references. If an object is known to be immutable, the object reference can be shared. For example, Boolean, Byte, Character, Double, Float, Integer,Long, Short, and String are immutable classes in Java, but the class StringBuffer is a mutable object in addition to the immutable String.
class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "HELLO"; System.out.println(str); str.toLower(); System.out.println(str); }}
The output result is
HELLOHELLOFrom the above example, the toLower() method does not impact on the original content in str. What happens is that a new String object "hello" is constructed. The toLower() method returns the new constructed String object's reference. Let's modify the above code:class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "HELLO"; System.out.println(str); String str1 = str.toLower(); System.out.println(str1); }}
The output result is
HELLOhelloThe str1 references a new String object that contains "hello". The String object's method never affects the data the String object contains, excluding the constructor.
"Classes should be immutable unless there's a very good reason to make them mutable....If a class cannot be made immutable, you should still limit its mutability as much as possible."
