Shift operator in java


Java supports two types of shift operator (Logical Shift and Arithmetic shift).

Logical Shift: In logical shift simply all the bits except the extreme left or right bit is moved by one place. and The extra bit from the other end is replaced with zero.

For Example for The number 4 (binary = 0000 0100)

Logical Shift ( >>>, << )
                             original number       0000 0100              (Decimal 4)
                             after left shift           000 0100 0             (Decimal 8)


                             original number         0000 0100            (Decimal 4)
                             after left shift             0000 0010            (Decimal 2)

 Java logical left shift operator is represented by (<<) and right shift operator is represented by (>>>)

 Example,


11000000 >>> 2 = 0011000000 
01000000 << 2 = 00000000


Arithmetic shift : Signed Left Shift/ Signed Right Shift (>>,<<)
Arithmetic left shift is just like Logical Left shift, so in fact we do not have any special Logical Left Shift operator.

Arithmetic right shift is somewhat different then Logical right shift, as Arithmetic right shift will honor the most significant bit(MSB).


Example,



11000000 >> 2 = 11110000
01000000 >> 2 = 00010000


2's Complement

Step I)
To invert it by replacing all the 1s by 0 and 0s by 1.
So we get 00000000000000000000000000000 101 ---> 11111111111111111111111111111 010

Step II)
Now we have to add 1 to the no which we found in (I)
So we get ,
11111111111111111111111111111 010 + 1 = 11111111111111111111111111111 011


So the no 11111111111111111111111111111 011 represents -5 .
As the MSB i.e. the first bit is 1 , it indicates that the no. represents a -ve no.

Difference between volatile and synchronized

By -
volatile is a field modifier, while synchronized modifies code blocks and methods. So we can specify three variations of a simple accessor using those two keywords: int i1; int geti1() {return i1;} volatile int i2; int geti2() {return i2;} int i3; synchronized int geti3() {return i3;} geti1() accesses the value currently stored in i1 in the current thread . Threads can have local copies of variables, and the data does not have to be the same as the data held in other threads. In particular, another thread may have updated i1 in it's thread, but the value in the current thread could be different from that updated value. In fact Java has the idea of a "main" memory, and this is the memory that holds the current "correct" value for variables. Threads can have their own copy of data for variables, and the thread copy can be different from the "main" memory. So in fact, it is possible for the "main"

Converting Java Map to String

By -
Java Collections framework, String manipulation etc is something that we often encounter in Development process. For processing collections (like checking null/empty, Intersection, Disjunction) We do have some of the very use full libraries. Some of the Collection related libraries are Apche Commons Collections and Google  Collections(Guava). Problem Use Case This article explains how to convert a Java Map to String(and vice versa) using different libraries and technique. One way is to use StringBuilder(Or String) and loop though the Map and build the String by applying some sort of separator ( for key:value and entry). Here we have to take care of the null value etc. Without Any Library If we want to convert the map to a String with key value separator and also individual entry seperator in the resulting String, we have to write code for that. For a simple Map, we have to iterate though the map, take care of the null values etc. Following is a sample to get String built

Masking Credit Card number in Java

By -
Sometimes we need to mask crucial information like Credit Card Numbers, CVV numbers etc before storing  or logging the information. This example mask Credit Card Number (Except last 4 Digit) from a Text which contains information along with Credit Card Number. The following example demonstrates how we can easily mask the credit card with Matcher and Pattern Classes. This Sample Code uses Matcher and Pattern. Pattern Used in this sample is not optimized for Credit Card Numbers, this pattern will get any numerical numbers in the String Content.  Based on the Credit Card Type a more efficient and Strict RegEx can be used to mask the Credit Card. /**Mask the Credit card number but last four digit value **/   Pattern PATTERN = Pattern.compile( "[0-9]+" ); String message = content; Matcher matcher = PATTERN.matcher(message); String maskingChar = "*"; StringBuilder finalMask = new StringBuilder(maskingChar);
