I am dubious

A few days ago, I have been writing the company’s official website page. I have been cutting pictures for two days. It is too difficult to live

Last article: “Effective.Java” read the code of the grass hall note 4

41. Lambda expressions are superior to anonymous classes

Lambda expressions are a syntax-sugar added to Java 1.8, and I feel a bit like ES6’s → functions, lambda expressions, and method references, which make it easier to build objects

// Anonymous classes and lambda expressions are provided for sorting
Collections.sort(words, new Comparator<String>() {
	public int compare(String s1, String s2) {
		returnInteger.compare(s1.length(), s2.length() ); }});// Lambda is much simpler

Collections.sort(words,(s1, s2) -> Integer.compare(s1.length(), s2.length()));
Copy the code

In response to the section on constant-specific implementations of Effective.Java described in the previous article, lambda can be used to refactor to

public enum Operation {
	PLUS("+", (x, y) -> x + y), MINUS("-", (x, y) -> x - y), TIMES("*", (x, y) -> x * y), DIVIDE("/", (x, y) -> x / y);
	private final String symbol;
    // DoubleBinaryOperator is a predefined function interface for java.util.function
	private final DoubleBinaryOperator op;

	Operation(String symbol, DoubleBinaryOperator op) {
		this.symbol = symbol;
		this.op = op;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString(a) {
		return symbol;
	}

	public double apply(double x, double y) {
		return op.applyAsDouble(x, y);
	}
         public static void main(String[] args) {
		double apply = Operation.PLUS.apply(1.0); System.out.print(apply); }}Copy the code

However, although lambda is good, but it is not a panacea, at least it is only suitable for functional interfaces, what is functional interfaces? The interface annotated by @functionalInterface has only one method in it, and since lambdas are modded, it is not recommended to use lambdas if calculations are not straightforward

42. Method references are superior to lambda expressions

The main advantage lambda has over anonymous classes is that it is more concise. What is simpler than lambda is method references. What are method references? A method reference is simply a more compact, readable Lambda expression. Note that a method reference is a Lambda expression with a double colon “::” as its operator.

List<String> lists = new ArrayList<String>();
lists.add("Tan");
lists.add("Jing");
lists.add("Jay");
lists.forEach(System.out::print);
        
Copy the code

A brief introduction to method references

The method reference operator is ::, which divides a method reference into a class name or an object reference and a method name

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Supplier<T> {
    T get(a);
}
 
class Car {
    Supplier is the JDK1.8 interface, which is used with lamda
    public static Car create(final Supplier<Car> supplier) {
        return supplier.get();
    }
 
    public static void collide(final Car car) {
        System.out.println("Collided " + car.toString());
    }
 
    public void follow(final Car another) {
        System.out.println("Following the " + another.toString());
    }
 
    public void repair(a) {
        System.out.println("Repaired " + this.toString()); }}Copy the code
  • Object reference :: instance method name
final Car police = Car.create( Car::new );
cars.forEach( police::follow );
Copy the code
  • Class name :: Static method name
cars.forEach( Car::collide );
Copy the code
  • Class name :: Instance method name
cars.forEach( Car::repair );
Copy the code
  • The name of the class: : new

final Car car = Car.create( Car::new );
final List< Car > cars = Arrays.asList( car );

Copy the code
  • Type: [] : new

Of course method references are only available in jdk1.8, not anywhere else

43. Standard functional interfaces are preferred

Java provides several functions in the interface, in the package of Java. Util. Function. The function below

Main function interface
Function<T,R> gets what the method executes
R apply(T t);
Copy the code
public class Student {
	private String name;
	private String address;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Function<Student, String> uft = u -> u.getName();
		Student student = new Student();
		student.setAddress("Changsha, Hunan");
		student.setName("Tan Jingjie");
		String apply = uft.apply(student);
		System.out.print(apply);
	}
	
	
	public String getName(a) {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public String getAddress(a) {
		return address;
	}

	public void setAddress(String address) {
		this.address = address; }}Copy the code
Consumer, use the Accept method to operate on the parameter
void accept(T t);
Copy the code
// Use the same example above
Consumer<Student> cs = i->System.out.println(i.getAddress());
Student student = new Student();
student.setAddress("Changsha, Hunan");
student.setName("Tan Jingjie");
cs.accept(student);
Copy the code
The Supplier,get method gets the result returned
T get(a);
Copy the code
Supplier<Student> spp = ()->new Student();
Student student = spp.get();
Copy the code
Predicate returns true or false, and tests are performed using the test method and returns the test results
boolean test(T t);
Copy the code
Predicate<Student> up = u -> ! u.getName().isEmpty(); up.test(new Student());
Copy the code

These functions can produce other variations, and generally we should use the functions defined by the JDK in preference to our own, but follow these points if we do define them:

  • It will be widely used and can benefit from descriptive names.
  • It has a strong contract.
  • It will benefit from custom default methods.

Finally, you should annotate an @functional Interface annotation

44. Use Stream wisely and judiciously

Stream represents a Stream. It is a collection of elements that can be aggregated sequentially and in parallel

List<Integer> nums = Lists.newArrayList(1.null.3.4.null.6);
// Get the number of non-null elements in a Listnums.stream().filter(num -> num ! =null).count();
Copy the code

Stream sources can include collections, arrays, files, regular expressions, etc. Elements in a Stream can be object references or primitive types

The Stream API is general-enough that virtually any computation can be performed using Stream, but just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. When used properly, streams can make programs shorter and cleaner; If used incorrectly, they can make the program difficult to read and maintain.

Some usage scenarios

  • Unify transform element sequences
  • Filter element sequence
  • Combine sequences of elements using a single operation (such as add, join, or compute a minimum)
  • Accumulate sequences of elements into a collection, possibly grouping them by some common attributes
  • Searches for elements in a sequence of elements that meet certain criteria

45. Give priority to functions in the stream that have no side effects

A function (in Java is method) in the call for many times, as long as the input parameter values are the same, the output value must be the same, and in this function does not change the procedure in the implementation process of any external state (such as global variables, object properties, belong to the external state), also does not depend on any external state of the program.

What is called side effect, simple and crude explanation is like a calculator, you input 1+1, no matter how is the wind or rain he still output 2, can not say today output 2, tomorrow changed 1, that calculator manufacturer had to close down

Note: I like to use forEach because I’m used to it, but 📕 says that the forEach operation is one of the least powerful terminal operations and the least stream-friendly. It is explicitly iterative and therefore not suitable for parallelization. ForEach operations should only be used to report the results of flow calculations, not to perform calculations.

Here’s an example of code with and without side effects

// No side effects
public class NoSideEffect {
    
    public static int add(int a, int b) {
        return a+b;
    }
    
    public boolean isEmpty(String s) {
        if (s == null || s.trim().length() == 0) {
            return true;
        } 
        return false; }}// As a side effect, the return value of getCount depends on the external baseValue
public class HasSideEffect {

    public int baseValue;
    
    public int getCount(int addtion) {
        returnbaseValue + addtion; }}Copy the code

To use streams properly, you must understand the collector.

Based on Lambda expressions, the collect() interface is called to accumulate the elements in the flow into a summary result using methods provided by the Collector class

Streams support two types of operations, intermediate operations (converting one stream to another) and terminal operations (streaming produces a result that consumes the stream)

// Count the number of cars
List<MemberCar> lists = new ArrayList<MemberCar>();
MemberCar memberCar = new MemberCar();
memberCar.setCarId(1);
lists.add(memberCar);
lists.stream().collect(Collectors.counting());
Copy the code

Several built-in collectors

The collector behavior
toList() Collect elements into oneListIn the.
toSet() Collect elements into oneSetIn the.
toCollection(Supplier<Collection>) To collect elements to a specific typeCollectionIn the.
toMap(Function<T, K>, Function<T, V>) Collect elements into oneMapConvert elements to key values based on the provided mapping function.
summingInt(ToIntFunction<T>) The calculation will be providedintThe value mapping function applies to each element (as welllong 和 doubleVersion).
summarizingInt(ToIntFunction<T>) The calculation will be providedintThe value mapping function applies to each element (as welllong 和 doubleVersion) of the resultssum,min,max,count 和 average.
reducing() Apply reduction to elements (often used as a downstream collector, such as forgroupingBy) (various versions).
partitioningBy(Predicate<T>) Elements are divided into two groups: groups for which the provided expectations are preserved and groups for which the expectations are not preserved.
partitioningBy(Predicate<T>, Collector) Partitions the elements, using the specified downstream collector to process each partition.
groupingBy(Function<T,U>) Group elements into oneMap, where the key is the provided function applied to the flow element and the value is the list of elements that share the key.
groupingBy(Function<T,U>, Collector) Groups the elements, using the specified downstream collector to process the values associated with each group.
minBy(BinaryOperator<T>) Computes the minimum value of an element (andmaxBy()The same).
mapping(Function<T,U>, Collector) The provided mapping function is applied to each element using the specified downstream collector (usually used as the downstream collector itself, such as forgroupingBy) for processing.
joining() Suppose the element isStringType to join these elements into a string (perhaps using delimiters, prefixes, and suffixes).
counting() Count elements. (Usually used as a downstream collector.)

46. Use Collection rather than Stream as the return type of a method

A Collection is a single-column Collection. Collectors are Collectors, like Collectors. The common Collectors are described below: java.util.

Collection is a top-level interface for collections and collections, and many familiar Collection classes implement it, such as ArrayList

public class ArrayList<E> extends AbstractList<E> implements List<E>, RandomAccess.Cloneable.java.io.Serializable{}
        
public abstract class AbstractList<E> extends AbstractCollection<E> implements List<E> {}

public abstract class AbstractCollection<E> implements Collection<E> {}
// It's like this
ArrayList
-- AbstractList
   -- AbstractCollection
    -- Collection 
Copy the code

Since the Collection implements the Iterable

interface, it is an Iterable object, and there are many methods in it. Here is the source code, and you can see it posted

public interface Collection<E> extends 可迭代<E> {
    // Query Operations

    /**

    int size(a);

    boolean contains(Object o);

    /**
     * Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection.  There are no
     * guarantees concerning the order in which the elements are returned

    Iterator<E> iterator(a);

Why use Collection to return

The description of the problem is that the Collection interface is a subtype of Iterable and has a stream method, so it provides iteration and stream access. Therefore, Collection or an appropriate subtype is usually the best return type for a common sequence return method.

Arrays also provide easy iteration and Stream access using the arrays.aslist and stream.of methods. If the returned sequence is small enough to fit easily into memory, it is best to return a standard collection implementation, such as ArrayList or HashSet. But don’t store a large sequence in memory only to return it as a collection.

47. Use stream parallelism sparingly

Even in the best case, parallelizing pipes is unlikely to improve performance if the source comes from the stream. iterate method, or if the intermediate operation limit method is used

48. Check the validity of parameters

Most methods and constructors have restrictions on which values can be passed to the corresponding parameters, such as not being null, having to be greater than 0, etc. For these limitations, a parameter check should be performed at the beginning of the method body to detect errors as soon as possible after they occur

Non-public methods can use assertions to check parameters. An AssertionError is raised if an assertion fails. Note that Java assertions, unlike C, need to display startup when the program is started

// Java-EA class name starts assertion
  System.out.println("start");
  assert false;
  System.out.println("go on");
  assert false:"stop";
  System.out.println("end");
