Covariant return types in Java
In Java, covariant return types allow an overriding method to return a subtype of the supertype. Here, the return type of the parent class is called the supertype, and the return type of the child class is known as the subtype, if and only if it is a subclass of the parent class's return type. Sounds confusing, right? Well! It is not as confusing as it sounds. Read the whole article to understand this concept. Java Covariant Return Types Covariant return type refers to the return type of an overriding method. It works only for non-primitive return types, such as Classes, Arrays, ...

Read MoreDowncasting in Java
What is Downcasting? Typecasting an object of the parent class to an object of the child class is called Downcasting in Java. We need to tell the Java compiler to perform the conversion explicitly by creating an object of the child type using a reference of the parent type. It is the opposite of upcasting, where a subclass reference is converted into a superclass reference automatically by the compiler. Typecasting is a process in which one data type or object is converted into another. It works with primitive datatypes and reference types as well. In this article, we are going ...

Read MoreInterface enhancements in Java 8
Before the release of Java version 8, the interface consists of only abstract methods and variables that defines the behavior that a class could implement. While adding a new method to an interface, it required change in all the implementing classes. It was not convenient for a large application. To overcome this, Java 8 introduced default and static methods in interfaces. In Java, an Interface is a type of class that is defined using the keyword interface and has only method bodies without any implementations. To access its members within a class, we need to use the implements keyword while ...

Read MoreHow to compile & run a Java program using Command Prompt?
Command prompt is a command line interface that accepts text-based inputs or commands and performs tasks based on those command. Nowadays, there are various integrated development environments (IDEs) that are available to compile, build, and run Java programs within their environment. However, we can also compile and run Java programs using the Command Prompt. Compiling and Running Java Programs using CLI To compile and run Java programs outside the IDEs using the Command Prompt, we need to install the JDK and set its path in our system. To set up the development environment for Java on your local machine, we ...
