Updating interfaces by using default methods

Take the following interface: public interface Cooking { public void fry(); public void boil(); public void chop(); } To add new functionality, simply adding a new method to Cooking called microwave() will cause problems. Any class that previously implemented Cooking will now have to be updated in order to function again. To avoid this, give microwave() a default implementation: public interface Cooking { public void fry(); public void boil(); public void chop(); default void microwave() { //some code implementing microwave } } As microwave() already has a default implementation defined in the Cooking interface definition, classes that implement it now don’t need to implement microwave() in order to work....

Converting Stacktrace to String

To store stack trace as a string, you can use Throwable.printStackTrace(...) For example: public static String getStackTrace( Throwable throwable ){ Writer result = new StringWriter(); PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(result); throwable.printStackTrace(printWriter); return result.toString(); } In the above example, getStackTrace takes a Throwable as a parameter and uses printStackTrace to print it to a PrintWriter output stream. This output is collected by the StringWriter and converted to a string using StringWriter.toString().

Synchronized Statement in Java

synchronized statements can be used to avoid memory inconsistency errors and thread interference in multi-threaded programs. When a thread executes code within a synchronized statement, the object passed as a parameter is locked. When writing a synchronized block, the object providing the lock must be specified after the synchronized keyword: public class Rezha { private int sum; public void addToSum(int value) { synchronized(this) { sum += value; } } } In this example the object providing the lock is this, which is the instance of Rezha that the method is being called in....
