Convert Unicode to UTF-8 in Java
Before moving onto their conversions, let us learn about Unicode and UTF-8.Unicode is an international standard of character encoding which has the capability of representing a majority of written languages all over the globe. Unicode uses hexadecimal to represent a character. Unicode is a 16-bit character encoding system. The lowest value is \u0000 and the highest value is \uFFFF.UTF-8 is a variable width character encoding. UTF-8 has the ability to be as condensed as ASCII but can also contain any Unicode characters with some increase in the size of the file. UTF stands for Unicode Transformation Format. The '8' signifies ...
Read MoreGet ceiling value of a number using Math.ceil in Java
In order to get the ceiling value of a number in Java, we use the java.lang.Math.ceil() method. The Math.ceil() method returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) double value which is greater than or equal to the parameter and has a value which is equal to a mathematical integer on the number line. If the parameter is NaN or an infinity or positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument. If the argument value is less than zero but greater than -1.0, then the value returned is negative zero.Declaration − The java.lang.Math.ceil() method is ...
Read MoreGet floor value of a number using Math.floor in Java
To get the floor value of a number, we use the java.lang.Math.floor() method. The Math.floor() method returns the largest (closest to positive infinity) double value which is less than or equal to the parameter and has a value which is equal to a mathematical integer on the number line. If the parameter is NaN or an infinity or positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument.Declaration - The java.lang.Math.floor() method is declared as follows −public static double floor(double a)Let us see a program to get the floor value of a number in Java.Exampleimport java.lang.Math; ...
Read MoreGenerate Random Float type number in Java
In order to generate Random float type numbers in Java, we use the nextFloat() method of the java.util.Random class. This returns the next random float value between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive) from the random generator sequence.Declaration −The java.util.Random.nextFloat() method is declared as follows −public float nextFloat()Let us see a program to generate random float type numbers in Java.Exampleimport java.util.Random; public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { Random rd = new Random(); // creating Random object System.out.println(rd.nextFloat()); // displaying a random float value between 0.0 and 1.0 } }Output0.7739767Note ...
Read MoreSchedule a task for execution in Java
One of the methods in the Timer class is the void schedule(Timertask task, Date time) method. This method schedules the specified task for execution at the specified time. If the time is in the past, it schedules the task for immediate execution.Declaration −The java.util.Timer.schedule(Timertask task, Date time) is declared as follows −public void schedule(Timertask task, Date time)There are few exceptions thrown by the schedule(Timertask task, Date time) method. They are as follows −IllegalArgumentExceptionThis exception is thrown if time.getTime() is negativeIllegalStateExceptionThis exception is thrown if task was scheduled or cancelled beforehand, timer was cancelled, or timer thread terminated.NullPointerExceptionThis exception is thrown ...
Read MoreSchedule a task for execution in Java after a given delay
One of the methods in the Timer class is the void schedule(Timertask task, long delay) method. This method schedules the specified task for execution after the specified delay.Declaration −The java.util.Timer.schedule(Timertask task, long delay) is declared as follows −public void schedule(Timertask task, long delay)There are few exceptions thrown by the schedule(Timertask task, long delay) method. They are as follows −IllegalArgumentExceptionThis exception is thrown if delay is negative, or delay + System.currentTimeMillis() is negative.IllegalStateExceptionThis exception is thrown if task was scheduled or cancelled beforehand, timer was cancelled, or timer thread terminated.NullPointerExceptionThis exception is thrown if the task is null.Let us see a ...
Read MoreHow to schedule tasks in Java to run for repeated fixed-delay execution, beginning at the specified time
One of the methods in the Timer class is the void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) method. This method schedules tasks for repeated fixed-delay execution, beginning at the specified time.In fixed-delay execution, each execution is scheduled with respect to the original execution time of the preceding execution. If an execution is delayed for a particular reason (case in point, garbage collection), the subsequent executions will be delayed as well.Declaration −The java.util.Timer.schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) is declared as follows −public void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period)Here, task is the task to be scheduled, firstTime is the first ...
Read MoreSchedule a task for repeated fixed delay execution in Java
In fixed-delay execution, each execution is scheduled with respect to the original execution time of the preceding execution. If an execution is delayed for a particular reason (case in point, garbage collection), the subsequent executions will be delayed as well.There are two ways in which a task can be scheduled for repeated fixed-delay execution. They are as follows −Scheduling a task for repeated fixed-delay execution at a specified timeScheduling a task for repeated fixed-delay execution after a specified delayScheduling a task for repeated fixed-delay execution at a specified timeThe void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) method schedules tasks for ...
Read MoreCancel the Timer Task in Java
In order to cancel the Timer Task in Java, we use the java.util.TimerTask.cancel() method. The cancel() method returns a boolean value, either true or false. The cancel() method is used to cancel the timer task.Declaration −The java.util.TimerTask.cancel() method is declared as follows −public boolean cancel()The cancel() methods returns true when the task is scheduled for one-time execution and has not executed until now and returns false when the task was scheduled for one-time execution and has been executed already.Let us see a program to illustrate the use of the java.util.TimerTask.cancel() method −Exampleimport java.util.*; class MyTask extends TimerTask { public ...
Read MoreCall the run() method of the Timer Task in Java
The java.util.TimerTask.run() method looks onto the action to be performed by the task. It is used to carry out the action performed by the task.Declaration −The java.util.TimerTask.run() method is declared as follows −public abstract void run()Let us see an example program to call the run() method of the Timer Task −Exampleimport java.util.*; class MyTask extends TimerTask { public void run() { System.out.println("Running"); } } public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { // creating timer task, timer TimerTask task = new MyTask(); Timer ...
