This is targeted to be a short tutorial for familiarising the new programming concepts introduced in Java 1.7 or Java 7.0 I contains working code snippets to familiarise with new syntax as well.... Hope you will like it !!!!
h
It can be used like a comma generally used for punctuation in numbers or separating a number in groups only for readability purposes 0xCAFEBABE is in the class file format, and 0xCAFEDEAD is in the persistent object format.
Underscore can’t be used in following scenarios
float pi1 = 3_.1415F; // Invalid; cannot put underscores adjacent to a decimal point float pi2 = 3._1415F; // Invalid; cannot put underscores adjacent to a decimal point long socialSecurityNumber = 999_99_9999_L; // Invalid; cannot put underscores prior to an L suffix int x1 = _52; // This is an identifier, not a numeric literal int x2 = 5_2; // OK (decimal literal) int x3 = 52_; // Invalid; cannot put underscores at the end of a literal int x4 = 5_______2; // OK (decimal literal) int x5 = 0_x52; // Invalid; cannot put underscores in the 0x radix prefix int x6 = 0x_52; // Invalid; cannot put underscores at the beginning of a number int x7 = 0x5_2; // OK (hexadecimal literal) int x8 = 0x52_; // Invalid; cannot put underscores at the end of a number int x9 = 0_52; // OK (octal literal) int x10 = 05_2; // OK (octal literal) int x11 = 052_; // Invalid; cannot put underscores at the end of a number
Paste an example for 3 rd advantage as well
1. public static final int[] phases = { 0b00110001, 0b01100010, 0b11000100, 0b10001001, 0b00010011, 0b00100110, 0b01001100, 0b10011000 } In hexadecimal, the relationship among the numbers is not readily apparent: public static final int[] phases = { 0x31, 0x62, 0xC4, 0x89, 0x13, 0x26, 0x4C, 0x98 } 2. public State decodeInstruction(int instruction, State state) { if ((instruction & 0b11100000) == 0b00000000) { final int register = instruction & 0b00001111; switch (instruction & 0b11110000) { case 0b00000000: return state.nop(); case 0b00010000: return state.copyAccumTo(register); case 0b00100000: return state.addToAccum(register); case 0b00110000: return state.subFromAccum(register); case 0b01000000: return state.multiplyAccumBy(register); case 0b01010000: return state.divideAccumBy(register); case 0b01100000: return state.setAccumFrom(register); case 0b01110000: return state.returnFromCall(); default: throw new IllegalArgumentException(); } } else { final int address = instruction & 0b00011111; switch (instruction & 0b11100000) { case 0b00100000: return state.jumpTo(address); case 0b01000000: return state.jumpIfAccumZeroTo(address); case 0b01000000: return state.jumpIfAccumNonzeroTo(address); case 0b01100000: return state.setAccumFromMemory(address); case 0b10100000: return state.writeAccumToMemory(address); case 0b11000000: return state.callTo(address); default: throw new IllegalArgumentException(); } } } 3. public static final short[] HAPPY_FACE = { (short)0b0000011111100000; (short)0b0000100000010000; (short)0b0001000000001000; (short)0b0010000000000100; (short)0b0100000000000010; (short)0b1000011001100001; (short)0b1000011001100001; (short)0b1000000000000001; (short)0b1000000000000001; (short)0b1001000000001001; (short)0b1000100000010001; (short)0b0100011111100010; (short)0b0010000000000100; (short)0b0001000000001000; (short)0b0000100000010000; (short)0b0000011111100000; }
The Closeable interface extends theAutoCloseable interface. The close method of the Closeable interface throws exceptions of type IOException while the close method of the AutoCloseable interface throws exceptions of type Exception. Consequently, subclasses of the AutoCloseable interface can override this behavior of the close method to throw specialized exceptions, such as IOException, or no exception at all. Multiple resource declarations are separated by semicolon(;) in try() Normal catch and finally block could be used as well in the same manner as prior to Java 7.0
However, in this example, if the methods readLine and close both throw exceptions, then the method readFirstLineFromFileWithFinallyBlock throws the exception thrown from the finally block; the exception thrown from the try block is suppressed. In contrast, in the example readFirstLineFromFile, if exceptions are thrown from both the try block and the try-with-resources statement, then the method readFirstLineFromFile throws the exception thrown from the tryblock; the exception thrown from the try-with-resources block is suppressed. In Java SE 7 and later, we can retrieve suppressed exceptions.
