What is the use of the "requires" clause in a module-info file in Java 9?
A module is an important concept introduced in Java 9. By using this concept, we can able to divide code into smaller components called modules. Therefore, each module has its own responsibility and declare its dependency on other modules to work properly. In order to declare a module, we need to include the "module-info.java" file to root source code.There are few types of "requires" clause in "module-info" file1) requires : By default, a module doesn't know other modules present in a module-path. So, it is necessary to add a line in our module-info.java: "requires" each time when we want to access ...
Read MoreHow to implement String utility and immutability in JShell in Java 9?
JShell is an interactive command-line tool used to implement simple statements like expressions, classes, methods, fields, interfaces, and etc. String class is part of the built-in java.lang package and provides several methods for common text processing.1) String Utility: String provides several built-in utility methods. The methods like indexOf(), lastIndexOf(), startsWith(), endsWith(), isEmpty(), equals(), equalsIgnoreCase() are that part of string utility.In the below code snippet, we have implemented the string utility methods in the JShell tool.Snippet-1jshell> String str = "JShell is a new feature in Java9"; str ==> "JShell is a new feature in Java9" jshell> str.indexOf("new") $4 ==> 12 ...
Read MoreWhat are the rules we need to follow in JShell in Java 9?
Java 9 introduced an interactive REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) tool: JShell, and it allows us to execute code snippets and get an immediate result. A snippet is an instruction that can use standard Java syntax. It represents a single expression, statement, or declaration.Below are some of the rules we need to follow while using the JShell tool.Rules for JShell tool:A snippet is like import declarations, class declarations, method declarations, interface declarations, field declarations, statements, and primary expressions.The package declarations are not allowed. JShell code is placed under the transient JShell package.The access modifiers: public, protected, and private, and the modifiers: final and ...
Read MoreHow to declare reference types in JShell in Java 9?
JShell is an interactive tool in Java 9 that allows user inputs, evaluates it, and prints output to the user.Unlike a value type, a reference type doesn't store its value directly. Instead, it will store the address where a value is stored. It means that a reference type contains a pointer to another memory location that holds the data. The reference types are String, arrays, class, and delegates.In the below code snippet, when we create a new instance of Animal, it can be created on the heap memory. The new Animal() creates an object on the Heap. Animal@73846619, the object ...
Read MoreHow to initialize an array in JShell in Java 9?
JShell is a command-line tool used to evaluate simple statements, expressions, classes, methods, variables, etc.. and prints the output immediately to the user.An array in Java is also an object. We need to declare an array and then created. In order to declare a variable that holds an array of integers, we can mention like int[] array. In an array, the index starts from 0 to (length of array - 1).In the below code snippet, we can use an index to find the specific element from the array. It will be done by using an indexing operator: []. The expression ...
Read MoreHow to create wrapper objects in JShell in Java 9?
Each primitive type in Java has a corresponding built-in wrapper class, and these wrapper classes are also immutable. Integer, Float, Double, Byte, and etc.. are some of the built-in wrapper classes. The main incentive of using such wrappers in our code is accessing type information about the corresponding primitive type, Auto-Boxing feature, where a primitive data is automatically promoted to an object reference type, and moving primitive type data around data structures.We can create an instance of Wrapper Classes by using a new operator, and also use the valueOf() method within types such as Integer to create a wrapper object. ...
Read MoreHow to show reflection frames of StackFrame in Java 9?
A standard API has been provided in Java 9 using java.lang.StackWalker class. This class designed to be efficient by allowing lazy access to the stack frames. A couple of other options allow in a stack trace that includes implementation and/or reflection frames, and it can be useful for debugging purposes. For instance, we add SHOW_REFLECT_FRAMES option to StackWalker instance upon creation, so that frames for reflective methods are printed as well.In the below example, we can able to show reflection frames of StackFrameExampleimport java.lang.StackWalker.Option; import java.lang.StackWalker.StackFrame; import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException; import java.lang.reflect.Method; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; public class ReflectionFrameTest { ...
Read MoreHow to skip certain classes in StackFrame in Java 9?
StackWalker API has been introduced in Java 9, and it gives a snapshot of the stack trace of current thread at any given point of time and has methods to walk over it. The advantage of using StackWalker class over Thread::getStackTrace() is to filter or skip certain classes and get the instance of declaring the class itself and get either short stack trace or full stack trace instead of pulling the complete stack trace itself.In the below example, we can use java.util.stream.Stream.skip() method to skip Stack Frames.Exampleimport java.lang.StackWalker.*; import java.util.Optional; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; import java.lang.StackWalker.StackFrame; public class StackWalkerSkipTest { public ...
Read MoreHow to define a switch statement in JShell in Java 9?
JShell is based on the REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) introduced in Java 9. This tool can be used to execute simple statements, evaluate it, and prints the result.A switch statement can test multiple conditions just like an else clause and handles the default possibility. The default clause can be executed when none of the cases match, and a break statement can be used to break out of switch after a successful match.In the below code snippet, we can define the switch statement in JShell.Snippet-1jshell> int i = 10; i ==> 10 jshell> switch(i) { ...> ...
Read MoreHow to use intermediate stream operations in JShell in Java 9?
JShell is a tool introduced in Java 9, and it accepts simple statements like expressions, variables, methods, classes, etc.. as input and produces immediate results.A Stream is a sequence of values. An intermediate stream operation is an operation that takes a stream. For instance, it can be applied to a lambda expression and produces another stream of elements as its result.The most popular intermediate stream operations are mentioned below:1) sorted(): This method preserves the elements of the consumed stream as a result but also puts them in natural sorted order.2) distinct(): This method returns a stream retaining only unique elements ...
