StringBuffer class in java

Posted by: Instanceofjava Posted date: January 04, 2015 / comment : 0


  • StringBuffer is a thread safe, mutable sequence of characters.
  • A StringBuffer is like a String , but can be modified in the same memory location.
By using following constructors we can create StringBuffer class object.

Constructors;

1.public StringBuffer(): 

  • It  creates empty StringBuffer object with default capacity 16 characters, it means it holds 16 empty locations.
  1. package com.instanceofjavaforus;
  2. public Class SBDemo{ 
  3.  
  4. public static void main (String args[]) {
  5.  
  6.   StringBuffer sb= new StringBuffer();
  7.   System.out.println(sb.capacity());
  8. }
  9. }
  10.  
  11. OutPut:
  12. 16


2.public StringBuffer(int capacity):

  • It creates StringBuffer object with given capacity.
  • Capacity value should be positive value. means >=0.
  • If we pass negative value JVM throws "java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException".

  1. package com.instanceofjavaforus;
  2. public Class SBDemo{ 
  3.  
  4. public static void main (String args[]) {
  5.  
  6.  StringBuffer sb= new StringBuffer(12);
  7.  System.out.println(sb.capacity());
  8.  
  9. }
  10. }

  12. OutPut:
  13. 12

3.public StringBuffer(String s):

  • It creates StringBuffer object characters available in passed String object and with default capacity 16 (16+String length) .
  1. package com.instanceofjavaforus;
  2. public Class SBDemo{ 
  3.  
  4. public static void main (String args[]) {
  5.  
  6.  StringBuffer sb= new StringBuffer(new String("abc"));
  7.  System.out.println(sb.capacity());
  8.  
  9. }
  10. }

  12. OutPut:
  13. 19

4.public StringBuffer(charSequence s):

  •  It creates StringBuffer object characters available in passed charSequence object and with default capacity 16 (16+charSequence length) .
  1. package com.instanceofjavaforus;
  2. public Class SBDemo{ 
  3.  
  4. public static void main (String args[]) {
  5.  
  6.  CharSequence cs = "abc";
  7.  StringBuffer sb= new StringBuffer(cs);
  8.  System.out.println(sb.capacity());
  9.  
  10. }
  11. }

  13. OutPut:
  14. 19

Print 1 to 10 without using loop in java?

Posted by: Instanceofjava Posted date: December 31, 2014 / comment : 0

  •  Basically to display numbers from 1 to 10 or a series we will use for , while or do while loop
  • So here is the programs to do same thing without using loop.
  • This is possible in two ways
  • First one is to display by printing all those things using system.out.println.
  • second one is by using recursive method call lets see these two programs

Solution #1:


  1. package com.instanceofjavaTutorial;
  2.  
  3. class Demo{  
  4.  
  5. public static void main(String args[]) { 

  7.    System.out.println(1);
  8.    System.out.println(2);
  9.    System.out.println(3);
  10.    System.out.println(4);
  11.    System.out.println(5);
  12.    System.out.println(6);
  13.    System.out.println(7);
  14.    System.out.println(8);
  15.    System.out.println(9);
  16.    System.out.println(10);
  17.  
  18. }

  20. }

Output:

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
  5. 5
  6. 6
  7. 7
  8. 8
  9. 9
  10. 10



Solution #2


  1. package com.instanceofjavaTutorial; 
  3. public class Main {
  4.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  5.         printNumbers(1, 10);
  6.     }

  8.     public static void printNumbers(int start, int end) {
  9.         if (start > end) {
  10.             return;
  11.         }
  12.         System.out.println(start);
  13.         printNumbers(start + 1, end);
  14.     }
  15. }
  • This uses recursion to achieve the same result. In this example, the method printNumbers is called with the start and end numbers as arguments. Inside the method, it checks if the start number is greater than the end number and if so, it returns (ends the recursion). 
  • If not, it prints the current start number and then calls the printNumbers method again with the start number incremented by 1. 
  • This continues until the start number is greater than the end number and the recursion ends.
  1. package com.instanceofjavaTutorial; 
  2. class PrintDemo{
  3.  
  4. public static void recursivefun(int n) 
  5. { 
  6.  
  7.   if(n <= 10) {
  8.  
  9.        System.out.println(n); 
  10.          recursivefun(n+1);   }
  11. }
  12.  
  13. public static void main(String args[]) 
  14. {
  15.  
  16. recursivefun(1); 
  17.  
  18.  }
  19.  
  20. }




 Output:

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
  5. 5
  6. 6
  7. 7
  8. 8
  9. 9
  10. 10

Type Casting in java?

Posted by: Instanceofjava Posted date: December 31, 2014 / comment : 0

Type Casting:

Type casting means to explicitly convert one type of data to another type of data. 

Type casting has 2 types:
  • Upcasting
  • Downcasting

Upcasting:

Converting lower type value to upper type value is known as Upcasting.
http://instanceofjavaforus.blogspot.in/

Program:

package com.instanceofjavaforus;
public class Upcastingtest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a=100;
long b=a;
float c=b;
System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);
System.out.println(c);
}

}

Output:

100
100
100.0

Downcasting:

Converting upper type value to lower type value is known as Downcasting.
http://instanceofjavaforus.blogspot.in/

Program:

package com.instanceofjavaforus;
public class Downcastingtest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double a=10.4;
long b=(long)a;
int c=(int)b;
System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);
System.out.println(c);
}

}

Output:

10.4
10
10

Program :

package com.instanceofjavaforus;
class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){

char ch = 'A';
long a = ch;
System.out.println(a);
}

}

Output:
65

Program:

package com.instanceofjavaforus;
class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]) {
double d = 10.5;
int i = (int) d;
System.out.println(i);
}
}

Output:
10

Convert Byte Array to String

Posted by: Instanceofjava Posted date: December 31, 2014 / comment : 2 ,

  • To convert byte array to string we have a constructor in String class which is taking byte array as an argument.
  • So just we need to pass byte array object to string as argument while creating String class object.

  1.  package com.instanceofjavaforus;
  2.  
  4. public class ByteArrayToString {
  5.    /*
  6.    * This method converts a byte array to a String object.
  7.      */
  8.  
  9.     public static void convertByteArrayToString() {
  10.  
  11.         byte[] byteArray = new byte[] {78,73, 67,69};
  12.         String value = new String(byteArray);
  13.        System.out.println(value);
  14.  
  15.     }
  16.  
  17.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  18.         ByteArrayToString.convertByteArrayToString();
  19.     }
  20.  
  21. }

Output:


  1. NICE

 

Convert String to Byte Array:

  1.  package com.instanceofjava;
  3. public class StringTOByteArray{
  4.    /*
  5.    * This example shows how to convert a String object to byte array.
  6.      */

  8.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  9.       
  10.     String data = "Instance of java";
  11.  
  12.     byte[] byteData = data.getBytes();
  13.  
  14.     System.out.println(byteData);
  15.  
  16.     }
  17.  
  18. }
