Java 8 BiPredicate Example

In this blog post, I will be explaining how the Java 8 functional interface BiPredicate works. To know more about functional interfaces, you can refer to this blog post.

Edit

The BiPredicate interface provides a method called test. This method accepts two parameters of any data type and returns a boolean. The BiPredicate interface is a specialization of the Predicate interface. While the Predicate interface accepts a single argument of any data type, the BiPredicate interface accepts two parameters of any data type. To see an example of the Predicate interface, refer to this blog post.

BiPredicate method with Two Integer arguments

Consider the following code snippet:

public class BiPredicateDemo {public static void main(String[] args) {BiPredicate<String,String> isSubString = (str1,str2) -> {return (str1.indexOf(str2)>0 || str1.startsWith(str2));};System.out.println("Hello World has substring as Hello = "+isSubString.test("Hello World","Hello"));System.out.println("Hello World has substring as Test = "+isSubString.test("Hello World","Test"));}}

Here, the BiPredicate.test method accepts two string arguments. It checks if the second String is a substring of the first string. If so, it returns true, otherwise, it returns a false. when the above code is executed, it will print the following output:

Hello World has substring as Hello = trueHello World has substring as Test = false

BiPredicate method with a String and Integer argument

Consider the following code snippet:

public class BiPredicateDemo {public static void main(String[] args) {BiPredicate<String,Integer> checkStringLength = (str,length) -> {return (str.length() > length) ;};System.out.println("Hello World has length greater than 5 = "+checkStringLength.test("Hello World",5));System.out.println("Hello World has length greater than 12 = "+checkStringLength.test("Hello World",12));}}

Here, the BiPredicate.test method accepts a String and an Integer argument. It checks if the length of the input String is greater than the Integer argument. If so it returns true, otherwise, it returns false.  When the above code is executed, it will print the following output:

Hello World has length greater than 5 = true Hello World has length greater than 12 = false

You can get the source code for this example along with the code for other Java 8 examples at the Github repository here.

How to use logging in SpringBoot with code samples




















Image







In this article, we will learn how to use logging in SpringBoot. Introduction There are several Java logging frameworks like logback, log4j, and so on. Spring Boot supports out-of-the-box support for logback. Let us learn how to use logging in SpringBoot with logback. Step 1 – Create a New Maven Project Create a new Maven project. (Refer to  this  blog post). This will create a project in Eclipse as follows:   Step 2 – Add the Spring Boot Dependencies Add the spring-boot-starter-web  dependency to the pom.xml . So, the pom.xml  should look as follows: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>  <groupId>com.learnjava</groupId>  <artifactId>learnjava-springboot-logging-example</artifactId>  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&

Python While Loop with code samples





















Much like a Java while loop, you can use a Python while loop to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a condition is true. In this article, we will learn more about the Python while loop. Python While loop Syntax A while loop in Python has the following syntax: while <condition>:  loop body The while keyword is followed by a condition. If the condition evaluates to true, the body of the loop is executed. Once the body of the loop is completed, the condition is checked again and this is repeated until the condition evaluates to false at which point the loop is exited. While loop Sample Code The following code demonstrates how you can use the while loop: num=10counter=1total=0while counter<=num: total += counter counter+=1print("sum of first 10 numbers is",total) This code adds the numbers from 1 to 10 and prints the sum. It uses a while loop to iterate from 1 to 10. The while loop checks the condition counter <= num and if so adds the current value of count

How to convert a List to a Set





















In this blog post ,I will be showing you how you can convert a List to a Set. Consider the following code snippet: public class ListToSetDemo {public static void main(String[] args) {List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(5,3,11,15,9);//Method 1Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>(list);System.out.println("Set is "+set);//method 2Set<Integer> set2 = new HashSet<Integer>();set2.addAll(list);System.out.println("Set is "+set2);}} This code demonstrates two ways to convert a List to a Set. Method 1 Here, we are creating a new HashSet . We are invoking the constructor  that accepts a Collection object. Here, we are passing in the input list to this constructor.   Method 2 Here again, we are creating a new HashSet . However, we are using the default constructor. We are then invoking the addAll  method and passing in the input list.   When you run this code, it will print the following output: Set is [3, 5, 9, 11, 15]Set is [3, 5, 9, 11, 15] No
