In Java Inheritance is a fundamental feature that allows a class to derive properties and behaviors from another class. In Java, not all classes can be subclassed. A final class is a special type of class that cannot be extended.  What is a Final Class in Java? In Java, a class is declared final using the final keyword. The final modifier for finalizing the implementations of classes, methods, and variables. When a class is marked as final, it means − It cannot be extended. All its methods remain unchanged in their ... Read More

The get method of the JSONArray class returns the element at a particular index. Using this method, you can get the elements of the JSONArray object and populate the array with them.Exampleimport java.util.Arrays; import org.json.JSONArray; public class JsonToArray {    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {       String [] myArray = {"JavaFX", "HBase", "JOGL", "WebGL"};       JSONArray jsArray = new JSONArray();       for (int i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {          jsArray.put(myArray[i]);      }      System.out.println(jsArray);      String[] array = new String[myArray.length];   ...

Google provides a library named org.json.JSONArray and, following is the maven dependency to add library to your project. com.googlecode.json-simple json-simple 1.1 The JSONArray class of the org.json package provides put() method. Using this method, you can populate the JSONArray object with the contents of the elements.Exampleimport org.json.JSONArray; public class ArrayToJson { public static void main(String args[]) { String [] myArray = {"JavaFX", "HBase", "JOGL", "WebGL"}; JSONArray jsArray = new JSONArray(); ...

The Arrays class of java package provides you a method named binarySearch() using this method you can perform a binary search on an array in Java.ExampleLive Demoimport java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       int intArr[] = {30,20,5,12,55};       Arrays.sort(intArr);       System.out.println("The sorted int array is:");       for (int number : intArr) {          System.out.println("Number = " + number);       }       int searchVal = 12;       int retVal = Arrays.binarySearch(intArr,searchVal);       System.out.println("The index of element 12 is : " + retVal);    } }OutputThe sorted int array is: Number = 5 Number = 12 Number = 20 Number = 30 Number = 55 The index of element 12 is: 1

Following is the algorithm for heapsort (maxheap).Step 1 − Create a new node at the end of the heap.Step 2 − Assign new value to the node.Step 3 − Compare the value of this child node with its parent.Step 4 − If the value of parent is less than a child, then swap them.Step 5 − Repeat step 3 & 4 until Heap property holds.Exampleimport java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Scanner; public class Heapsort {    public static void heapSort(int[] myArray, int length) {       int temp;       int size = length-1;       for (int i ...

To check to find whether a given array contains three consecutive dates:Convert the given array into a list of type LocalDate.Using the methods of the LocalDate class compare ith, i+1th and i+1th, i+2th elements of the list if equal the list contain 3 consecutive elements.ExampleLive Demoimport java.time.LocalDate; import java.time.Month; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.Date; import java.util.List; public class ConsicutiveDate {    public static void main(String args[]) {       String[] dates = {"5/12/2017", "6/12/2017", "7/12/2017"};       List localDateList = new ArrayList();       for (int i = 0; i

You can convert an array list of strings to an array list of integers as:ExampleLive Demoimport java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; public class LamdaExpressions {    public static void main(String args[]) {       ArrayList list = new ArrayList();       list.add("123");       list.add("223");       list.add("323");       list.add("334");       List listInteger =          list.stream().map(s -> Integer.parseInt(s)).collect(Collectors.toList());       System.out.println(listInteger);    } }Output[123, 223, 323, 334]

ExampleLive Demoimport java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayWithinAnArray{    public static void main(String args[]) {       int[] myArray1 = {23, 56, 78, 91};       int[] myArray2 = {123, 156, 178, 191};       int[] myArray3 = {223, 256, 278, 291};       int[] myArray4 = {323, 356, 378, 391};       int [][] arrayOfArrays = {myArray1, myArray2, myArray3, myArray4};       System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(arrayOfArrays));    } }Output[[23, 56, 78, 91], [123, 156, 178, 191], [223, 256, 278, 291], [323, 356, 378, 391]]

If a class is declared final, you cannot inherit it. If you try it gives you a compile-time error as − Example final class Super { private int data = 30; } public class Sub extends Sub { public static void main(String args[]){ } } Output Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: at Sub.main(Sub.java:7)

No, a child class can’t inherit private members of the parent class, it can inherit only protected, default, and public members of it. If you try it gives you a compile time error as: − Example class Super{ private int data = 30; public void display(){ System.out.println("Hello this is the method of the super class"); } } public class Sub extends Super{ public void greet(){ System.out.println("Hello this is the method of the sub class"); ...
