1Z0-830 Java SE 21 Developer - Practice Test 4

This demonstrates **pattern matching for switch** with **guarded patterns** (when clauses) in Java 21, showing how type patterns and guards are evaluated in order. **Complete Pattern Matching Flow:** **Step 1: First pattern - Integer with guard** ```java case Integer i when i > 0 -> ... ``` - Type check: Is obj an Integer? NO (it's a String) - Pattern FAILS immediately - Guard `when i > 0` is never evaluated - Move to next case **Step 2: Second pattern - Integer without guard** ```java case Integer i -> ... ``` - Type check: Is obj an Integer? NO (it's a String) - Pattern FAILS - Move to next case **Step 3: Third pattern - String with guard** ```java case String s when s.length() > 5 -> ... ``` - Type check: Is obj a String? YES - Pattern matches! Bind s = "Test" - Evaluate guard: s.length() > 5 -> "Test".length() = 4, NOT > 5 - Guard FAILS - Move to next case **Step 4: Fourth pattern - String without guard** ```java case String s -> System.out.println("Short string: " + s); ``` - Type check: Is obj a String? YES - No guard to evaluate - Pattern MATCHES! - Execute: System.out.println("Short string: Test") - **Output: "Short string: Test"** **Key Principles:** **1. Pattern Evaluation Order:** Cases are evaluated in the order they appear in the source code, from top to bottom. First matching case wins. **2. Type Pattern Matching:** ```java case Integer i -> ... // Step 1: Check if obj instanceof Integer // Step 2: If yes, cast and bind to variable i // Step 3: Evaluate guard (if present) ``` **3. Guard Evaluation:** Guards are only evaluated if the type pattern matches: ```java case String s when s.length() > 5 -> ... // First: obj instanceof String -> must be true // Then: s.length() > 5 -> evaluate this condition // Both must be true to execute the case ``` **Pattern Matching Execution Table:** | Case | Type Check | Type Match? | Guard Check | Guard Pass? | Execute? | |------|-----------|-------------|-------------|-------------|----------| | Integer i when i > 0 | String vs Integer | No | (skipped) | N/A | No | | Integer i | String vs Integer | No | (none) | N/A | No | | String s when s.length() > 5 | String vs String | Yes | 4 > 5 | No | No | | String s | String vs String | Yes | (none) | N/A | **Yes!** | | default | (always matches) | N/A | (none) | N/A | (not reached) | **Complete Example with Different Inputs:** ```java // Input 1: Positive Integer Object obj1 = 10; switch (obj1) { case Integer i when i > 0 -> print("Positive: " + i); // Matches! Type: Integer , Guard: 10 > 0 // Output: "Positive: 10" } // Input 2: Negative Integer Object obj2 = -5; switch (obj2) { case Integer i when i > 0 -> print("Positive: " + i); // Type matches , but Guard fails: -5 > 0 case Integer i -> print("Non-positive: " + i); // Matches! Type: Integer , No guard // Output: "Non-positive: -5" } // Input 3: Long String Object obj3 = "HelloWorld"; switch (obj3) { case String s when s.length() > 5 -> print("Long string: " + s); // Matches! Type: String , Guard: 10 > 5 // Output: "Long string: HelloWorld" } // Input 4: Short String (our case) Object obj4 = "Test"; switch (obj4) { case String s when s.length() > 5 -> print("Long string: " + s); // Type matches , but Guard fails: 4 > 5 case String s -> print("Short string: " + s); // Matches! Type: String , No guard // Output: "Short string: Test" } // Input 5: Other type Object obj5 = 3.14; switch (obj5) { // No Integer or String match default -> print("Other"); // Output: "Other" } ``` **Guard Clauses - Advanced Patterns:** **Multiple conditions in guard:** ```java switch (obj) { case String s when s.length() > 5 && s.startsWith("Hello") -> System.out.println("Long greeting: " + s); case String s when !s.isEmpty() -> System.out.println("Non-empty: " + s); case String s -> System.out.println("Empty string"); } ``` **Calling methods in guards:** ```java switch (obj) { case String s when isValidEmail(s) -> System.out.println("Email: " + s); case String s when isValidPhone(s) -> System.out.println("Phone: " + s); case String s -> System.out.println("Invalid format: " + s); } boolean isValidEmail(String s) { return s.contains("@") && s.contains("."); } ``` **Complex guard expressions:** ```java switch (obj) { case Integer i when i >= 0 && i <= 100 -> System.out.println("Percentage: " + i); case Integer i when i < 0 -> System.out.println("Negative: " + i); case Integer i -> System.out.println("Out of range: " + i); } ``` **Why Order Matters:** **WRONG - More specific case after general case:** ```java switch (obj) { case String s -> System.out.println("Any string"); case String s when s.length() > 5 -> System.out.println("Long string"); // This case is UNREACHABLE! // The first case matches ALL strings // Compiler error: "this case label is dominated by a preceding case label" } ``` **CORRECT - Specific cases before general cases:** ```java switch (obj) { case String s when s.length() > 5 -> System.out.println("Long string"); case String s -> System.out.println("Any string"); // Correct! Specific guard first, then catch-all } ``` **Pattern Dominance Rules:** ```java // Case A dominates Case B if: // - Case A's pattern matches everything Case B's pattern matches // - Case A appears before Case B switch (obj) { case Object o -> ... // Dominates everything below case String s -> ... // UNREACHABLE - dominated by Object case Integer i -> ... // UNREACHABLE - dominated by Object } switch (obj) { case String s -> ... // Dominates guarded String below case String s when s.isEmpty() -> ... // UNREACHABLE - dominated } switch (obj) { case String s when s.isEmpty() -> ... // OK - more specific case String s -> ... // OK - catches remaining } ``` **Null Handling with Guards:** ```java String obj = null; switch (obj) { case null -> System.out.println("Null value"); case String s when s.isEmpty() -> System.out.println("Empty"); case String s -> System.out.println("Non-empty: " + s); } // Output: "Null value" // Note: null is checked BEFORE type patterns ``` **Combining null with type patterns:** ```java switch (obj) { case null, String s when s.isEmpty() -> System.out.println("Null or empty"); case String s -> System.out.println("Non-empty: " + s); } ``` **Real-World Use Cases:** **1. Input Validation:** ```java public String processInput(Object input) { return switch (input) { case null -> "Error: Input is null"; case String s when s.isBlank() -> "Error: Input is blank"; case String s when s.length() > 100 -> "Error: Input too long"; case String s -> "Valid: " + s; case Integer i when i < 0 -> "Error: Negative number"; case Integer i -> "Valid number: " + i; default -> "Error: Unsupported type"; }; } ``` **2. API Response Handling:** ```java String handleResponse(Object response) { return switch (response) { case Integer code when code == 200 -> "Success"; case Integer code when code >= 400 && code < 500 -> "Client error"; case Integer code when code >= 500 -> "Server error"; case String msg when msg.contains("timeout") -> "Request timeout"; case String msg -> "Message: " + msg; default -> "Unknown response"; }; } ``` **3. State Machine:** ```java String handleState(Object state) { return switch (state) { case String s when s.equals("PENDING") -> startProcess(); case String s when s.equals("RUNNING") -> continueProcess(); case String s when s.equals("COMPLETED") -> finalizeProcess(); case Integer progress when progress < 100 -> "Progress: " + progress + "%"; case Integer progress -> "Complete"; default -> "Unknown state"; }; } ``` **Performance Considerations:** **Guard evaluation cost:** ```java // Expensive guard - called for every matching type case String s when expensiveValidation(s) -> ... // Better: Quick type check first, then validate case String s -> { if (expensiveValidation(s)) { // handle valid case } else { // handle invalid case } } ``` **Order optimization:** ```java // If Integer is more common: switch (obj) { case Integer i when i > 0 -> ... // Check common case first case String s -> ... // Less common case second } ``` **Common Patterns and Best Practices:** **DO:** - Put more specific patterns before general ones - Use guards for complex conditions - Keep guards simple and readable - Handle null explicitly when needed **DON'T:** - Put general patterns before specific ones - Use guards for simple type checks (use separate cases) - Have unreachable cases - Forget that guards are only evaluated if type matches **Complete Pattern Matching Features:** ```java Object obj = getValue(); String result = switch (obj) { // Null handling case null -> "Null"; // Type patterns with guards case Integer i when i > 100 -> "Large: " + i; case Integer i when i > 0 -> "Positive: " + i; case Integer i -> "Non-positive: " + i; // String patterns with various guards case String s when s.isEmpty() -> "Empty string"; case String s when s.length() > 20 -> "Long: " + s.substring(0, 20) + "..."; case String s -> "String: " + s; // Other types case Double d -> "Double: " + d; case Boolean b -> "Boolean: " + b; // Catch-all (if needed) default -> "Unknown type"; }; ``` See more: Java 21 New Features

This demonstrates the **Thread.ofPlatform()** and **Thread.ofVirtual()** builder methods in Java 21, showing the fundamental difference between platform threads and virtual threads. **Complete Breakdown:** **Platform Thread Creation:** ```java Thread platformThread = Thread.ofPlatform() .name("platform-thread") .start(() -> System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().isVirtual())); ``` **What happens:** 1. `Thread.ofPlatform()` - Returns a builder for platform threads 2. `.name("platform-thread")` - Sets the thread name 3. `.start(...)` - Creates and starts a platform thread 4. Inside the thread: `Thread.currentThread().isVirtual()` returns **false** 5. Prints: **false** **Virtual Thread Creation:** ```java Thread virtualThread = Thread.ofVirtual() .name("virtual-thread") .start(() -> System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().isVirtual())); ``` **What happens:** 1. `Thread.ofVirtual()` - Returns a builder for virtual threads 2. `.name("virtual-thread")` - Sets the thread name 3. `.start(...)` - Creates and starts a virtual thread 4. Inside the thread: `Thread.currentThread().isVirtual()` returns **true** 5. Prints: **true** **Output:** false true **Thread Builders - Complete API:** **Thread.ofPlatform() - Platform Thread Builder:** ```java Thread.Builder platformBuilder = Thread.ofPlatform(); // Configuration options: platformBuilder .name("my-platform-thread") // Set thread name .name("prefix-", 0) // Name with counter: prefix-0, prefix-1, ... .daemon(true) // Make daemon thread .priority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY) // Set priority (1-10) .group(threadGroup) // Set thread group .stackSize(1024 * 1024) // Set stack size (bytes) .uncaughtExceptionHandler((t, e) -> {...}) // Exception handler .start(runnable); // Create and start // OR .unstarted(runnable); // Create but don't start ``` **Thread.ofVirtual() - Virtual Thread Builder:** ```java Thread.Builder virtualBuilder = Thread.ofVirtual(); // Configuration options (more limited than platform): virtualBuilder .name("my-virtual-thread") // Set thread name .name("vthread-", 0) // Name with counter .uncaughtExceptionHandler((t, e) -> {...}) // Exception handler .start(runnable); // Create and start // OR .unstarted(runnable); // Create but don't start // Note: Virtual threads are ALWAYS daemon threads // Note: Priority and thread groups not supported for virtual threads // Note: Stack size not configurable (virtual threads use small stacks) ``` **Platform vs Virtual Threads - Detailed Comparison:** **Platform Threads:** ```java // Created by: Thread t1 = new Thread(runnable); // Traditional way Thread t2 = Thread.ofPlatform().start(runnable); // Builder way // Characteristics: - Maps 1:1 to OS thread - ~2 MB stack size (configurable) - Can set priority (1-10) - Can be daemon or non-daemon - Can belong to thread groups - Blocking operations block OS thread - Limited by OS (thousands) - Heavyweight // Use when: - CPU-intensive tasks - Need specific priorities - Need thread groups - Long-running calculations - Compatibility with old code ``` **Virtual Threads:** ```java // Created by: Thread t1 = Thread.ofVirtual().start(runnable); Thread t2 = Thread.startVirtualThread(runnable); // Convenience method // Characteristics: - Maps M:N to platform threads (carrier threads) - ~1 KB per virtual thread - Priority always NORM_PRIORITY (5) - ALWAYS daemon - No thread groups - Blocking operations park the virtual thread - Can create millions - Lightweight // Use when: - I/O-intensive tasks - Many concurrent operations - Blocking operations (sleep, I/O) - Web servers - Microservices - Database calls ``` **isVirtual() Method:** ```java Thread thread = ...; boolean virtual = thread.isVirtual(); // Returns: // - true: if thread is a virtual thread // - false: if thread is a platform thread // Examples: Thread platform = Thread.ofPlatform().unstarted(() -> {}); platform.isVirtual(); // false Thread virtual = Thread.ofVirtual().unstarted(() -> {}); virtual.isVirtual(); // true Thread main = Thread.currentThread(); // Main thread main.isVirtual(); // false (main is platform thread) ``` **Thread Identification Examples:** ```java public class ThreadInfo { public static void printThreadInfo() { Thread current = Thread.currentThread(); System.out.println("Thread name: " + current.getName()); System.out.println("Is virtual: " + current.isVirtual()); System.out.println("Is daemon: " + current.isDaemon()); System.out.println("Priority: " + current.getPriority()); System.out.println("State: " + current.getState()); System.out.println("ID: " + current.threadId()); } public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { System.out.println("=== Main Thread ==="); printThreadInfo(); // Output: Is virtual: false (main is platform) System.out.println(" === Platform Thread ==="); Thread platform = Thread.ofPlatform().start(() -> printThreadInfo()); platform.join(); // Output: Is virtual: false System.out.println(" === Virtual Thread ==="); Thread virtual = Thread.ofVirtual().start(() -> printThreadInfo()); virtual.join(); // Output: Is virtual: true } } ``` **Builder Pattern - Advanced Usage:** **Reusing builders:** ```java Thread.Builder.OfPlatform platformBuilder = Thread.ofPlatform() .daemon(true) .priority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY); // Create multiple threads with same configuration: Thread t1 = platformBuilder.start(() -> task1()); Thread t2 = platformBuilder.start(() -> task2()); Thread t3 = platformBuilder.start(() -> task3()); ``` **Thread factories:** ```java ThreadFactory virtualFactory = Thread.ofVirtual() .name("worker-", 0) .factory(); // Use with ExecutorService: ExecutorService executor = Executors.newThreadPerTaskExecutor(virtualFactory); ``` **Named counter threads:** ```java Thread.Builder builder = Thread.ofVirtual().name("task-", 1000); Thread t1 = builder.start(() -> {}); // Name: "task-1000" Thread t2 = builder.start(() -> {}); // Name: "task-1001" Thread t3 = builder.start(() -> {}); // Name: "task-1002" ``` **Migration from Old to New API:** **Old way (before Java 21):** ```java // Platform thread creation: Thread thread = new Thread(() -> { System.out.println("Running"); }); thread.setName("my-thread"); thread.setDaemon(true); thread.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY); thread.start(); // Virtual threads (Java 19-20): Thread virtual = Thread.startVirtualThread(() -> { System.out.println("Running"); }); ``` **New way (Java 21+):** ```java // Platform thread: Thread platform = Thread.ofPlatform() .name("my-thread") .daemon(true) .priority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY) .start(() -> System.out.println("Running")); // Virtual thread: Thread virtual = Thread.ofVirtual() .name("my-virtual-thread") .start(() -> System.out.println("Running")); ``` **Common Patterns:** **1. Named thread for debugging:** ```java Thread.ofVirtual() .name("database-query-thread") .start(() -> executeQuery()); ``` **2. Exception handling:** ```java Thread.ofVirtual() .uncaughtExceptionHandler((thread, exception) -> { System.err.println("Thread " + thread.getName() + " failed: " + exception); }) .start(() -> riskyOperation()); ``` **3. Thread pooling with virtual threads:** ```java try (var executor = Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor()) { for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { executor.submit(() -> handleRequest()); } } ``` **Key Takeaways:** 1. **Thread.ofPlatform()** creates platform (OS) threads -> isVirtual() = false 2. **Thread.ofVirtual()** creates virtual (JVM-managed) threads -> isVirtual() = true 3. **Platform threads** are heavyweight, OS-managed, limited in number 4. **Virtual threads** are lightweight, JVM-managed, can create millions 5. Use **platform threads** for CPU-intensive tasks 6. Use **virtual threads** for I/O-intensive tasks 7. Virtual threads are **always daemon threads** 8. Platform threads can be **daemon or non-daemon** See more: Concurrency

This demonstrates **Deque** (Double-Ended Queue) operations, which is a key data structure in Java that supports insertion and removal at both ends. **Step-by-Step Execution:** **Initial state:** ```java Deque<String> deque = new ArrayDeque<>(); // deque = [] ``` **Step 1: addFirst("A")** ```java deque.addFirst("A"); // Adds "A" to the FRONT // deque = [A] // Internal: [A] // front & back ``` **Step 2: addLast("B")** ```java deque.addLast("B"); // Adds "B" to the BACK // deque = [A, B] // Internal: [A, B] // // front back ``` **Step 3: addFirst("C")** ```java deque.addFirst("C"); // Adds "C" to the FRONT // deque = [C, A, B] // Internal: [C, A, B] // ↑ ↑ // front back ``` **Step 4: addLast("D")** ```java deque.addLast("D"); // Adds "D" to the BACK // deque = [C, A, B, D] // Internal: [C, A, B, D] // ↑ ↑ // front back ``` **Step 5: removeFirst()** ```java String first = deque.removeFirst(); // Removes and returns element from FRONT // first = "C" // deque = [A, B, D] // Internal: [A, B, D] // ↑ ↑ // front back ``` **Step 6: removeLast()** ```java String last = deque.removeLast(); // Removes and returns element from BACK // last = "D" // deque = [A, B] // Internal: [A, B] // ↑ ↑ // front back ``` **Final output:** ```java System.out.println(deque + " " + first + " " + last); // deque = [A, B] // first = "C" // last = "D" // Output: "[A, B] C D" ``` **Visual Timeline:** ``` Operation | Deque State | Front | Back | -----------------|--------------|-------|-------| Initial | [] | - | - | addFirst("A") | [A] | A | A | addLast("B") | [A, B] | A | B | addFirst("C") | [C, A, B] | C | B | addLast("D") | [C, A, B, D] | C | D | removeFirst() | [A, B, D] | A | D | -> returns "C" removeLast() | [A, B] | A | B | -> returns "D" ``` **Deque Interface - Complete API:** **Adding Elements:** ```java Deque<String> deque = new ArrayDeque<>(); // Add to FRONT: deque.addFirst("A"); // Throws exception if full deque.offerFirst("A"); // Returns false if full (better for bounded deques) push("A"); // Equivalent to addFirst (stack operation) // Add to BACK: deque.addLast("B"); // Throws exception if full deque.offerLast("B"); // Returns false if full deque.add("B"); // Equivalent to addLast deque.offer("B"); // Equivalent to offerLast ``` **Removing Elements:** ```java // Remove from FRONT: String e1 = deque.removeFirst(); // Throws NoSuchElementException if empty String e2 = deque.pollFirst(); // Returns null if empty (safer) String e3 = deque.pop(); // Equivalent to removeFirst (stack operation) String e4 = deque.remove(); // Equivalent to removeFirst String e5 = deque.poll(); // Equivalent to pollFirst // Remove from BACK: String e6 = deque.removeLast(); // Throws NoSuchElementException if empty String e7 = deque.pollLast(); // Returns null if empty (safer) ``` **Examining Elements (without removing):** ```java // Examine FRONT: String e1 = deque.getFirst(); // Throws NoSuchElementException if empty String e2 = deque.peekFirst(); // Returns null if empty String e3 = deque.element(); // Equivalent to getFirst String e4 = deque.peek(); // Equivalent to peekFirst // Examine BACK: String e5 = deque.getLast(); // Throws NoSuchElementException if empty String e6 = deque.peekLast(); // Returns null if empty ``` **Deque as Different Data Structures:** **1. As a Queue (FIFO - First In First Out):** ```java Deque<String> queue = new ArrayDeque<>(); // Enqueue (add to back): queue.offer("First"); queue.offer("Second"); queue.offer("Third"); // Queue: [First, Second, Third] // ↑ ↑ // front back // Dequeue (remove from front): String item = queue.poll(); // "First" // Queue: [Second, Third] // Peek: String next = queue.peek(); // "Second" (doesn't remove) ``` **2. As a Stack (LIFO - Last In First Out):** ```java Deque<String> stack = new ArrayDeque<>(); // Push (add to front): stack.push("First"); stack.push("Second"); stack.push("Third"); // Stack: [Third, Second, First] // ↑ top // Pop (remove from front): String item = stack.pop(); // "Third" // Stack: [Second, First] // Peek: String top = stack.peek(); // "Second" (doesn't remove) ``` **3. As a Double-Ended Queue:** ```java Deque<String> deque = new ArrayDeque<>(); // Add to both ends: deque.addFirst("Front"); deque.addLast("Back"); // [Front, Back] // Remove from both ends: deque.removeFirst(); // "Front" deque.removeLast(); // "Back" ``` **ArrayDeque vs LinkedList:** **ArrayDeque:** ```java Deque<String> deque = new ArrayDeque<>(); // Pros: - Faster than LinkedList for most operations - No node overhead (uses array) - Better cache locality - Preferred implementation // Cons: - Cannot store null elements - Resizing overhead when capacity exceeded // Performance: addFirst/addLast: O(1) amortized removeFirst/removeLast: O(1) get(index): Not supported (not RandomAccess) ``` **LinkedList:** ```java Deque<String> deque = new LinkedList<>(); // Pros: - Can store null elements - No resizing needed - Implements List interface (supports get(index)) // Cons: - Slower than ArrayDeque - More memory overhead (node objects) - Poor cache locality // Performance: addFirst/addLast: O(1) removeFirst/removeLast: O(1) get(index): O(n) ``` **Common Use Cases:** **1. Work Queue (removing from both ends):** ```java Deque<Task> workQueue = new ArrayDeque<>(); // Producer adds to back: workQueue.addLast(new Task("Important", 1)); workQueue.addLast(new Task("Normal", 2)); // Worker can take from front OR back: Task urgent = workQueue.removeFirst(); // Process important first Task last = workQueue.removeLast(); // Or process from end ``` **2. Undo/Redo Stack:** ```java Deque<Action> undoStack = new ArrayDeque<>(); Deque<Action> redoStack = new ArrayDeque<>(); void performAction(Action action) { action.execute(); undoStack.push(action); redoStack.clear(); // Clear redo history } void undo() { if (!undoStack.isEmpty()) { Action action = undoStack.pop(); action.undo(); redoStack.push(action); } } void redo() { if (!redoStack.isEmpty()) { Action action = redoStack.pop(); action.execute(); undoStack.push(action); } } ``` **3. Sliding Window:** ```java public List<Integer> maxSlidingWindow(int[] nums, int k) { Deque<Integer> deque = new ArrayDeque<>(); List<Integer> result = new ArrayList<>(); for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { // Remove elements outside window while (!deque.isEmpty() && deque.peekFirst() < i - k + 1) { deque.removeFirst(); } // Remove smaller elements (not needed) while (!deque.isEmpty() && nums[deque.peekLast()] < nums[i]) { deque.removeLast(); } deque.addLast(i); if (i >= k - 1) { result.add(nums[deque.peekFirst()]); } } return result; } ``` **Best Practices:** **DO:** - Use ArrayDeque for better performance - Use offerFirst/offerLast for bounded deques - Use pollFirst/pollLast to avoid exceptions - Consider capacity hints for ArrayDeque if size is known **DON'T:** - Use LinkedList unless you need List operations - Add null to ArrayDeque (throws NullPointerException) - Use Vector or Stack (legacy, synchronized) - Forget to check isEmpty() before removing See more: Collections
