We all love free resources, don't you? There was a time when I buy a lot of books when I was preparing for my engineering entrance exam but I only ended up buying books not reading them. Afte that I changed my habit to first try to read a book on loan or trying free resource and only buying when I really need. When I started my programming journey, mostly I learn from free resources e.g. free courses and books and there I developed the passion to collect free resources as well.  I agree that paid resources are often better than free resources e.g. books and courses but if you are just starting your journey, it's the free resource which you should try first. Once you have some background and interest, you should consider buying a proper book or courses for comprehensive learning.

What is a Functional interface in Java 8? @Functional Annotation and Examples

The functional interface is one of the most important concepts of Java 8 which actually powers lambda expression but many developers don't put enough effort to understand it and spend time learning lambda expression and Stream API without first understanding the role of functional interface in Java 8. Unless you know what is a functional interface and how lambda is related to it, you can't use powerful features of Java 8 e.g. lambda expression and stream API. Without knowledge of functional interface, you won't be able to understand where you can use a lambda in the code but also you will struggle to write lambda expression the method is expecting, hence, it's important to have a good understanding of functional interface in Java 8.

How to write a C like Sizeof function in Java

If you have just started learning Java and came from C background then you might have noticed some difference between Java and C programming language e.g. String is an object in Java and not a NULL terminated character array. Similarly, there is is no sizeof() operator in Java. All primitive values have predefined size e.g. int is 4 bytes, char is 2 byte, short is 2 byte, long and float is 8 byte and so on. But if you are missing sizeOf operator then why not let's make it a coding task? If you are Ok, then your next task is to write a method in Java, which can behave like sizeOf() operator/function of C and returns size in bytes for each numeric primitive types i.e. all primitive types except boolean.
