Linux Command to Find how Long a process is Running in UNIX

Hello guys, today, I am going to share one of the useful tips to find out how long a particular process is running in Linux. This is very useful while you are troubleshooting an issue and want to know whether your process or service is restarted fine on a daily or weekly basis. So you checked your process is running in Linux operating system and it's running fine, by using ps command. But now you want to know, from how long process is running, what is the start date of that process etc. Unfortunately, PS command in Linux or any UNIX based operating system doesn't provide that information.

How to implement Binary Search in Java without Recursion - Iterative algorithm

This week’s task is to implement a binary search in Java, you need to write both iterative and recursive binary search algorithm. In computer science, a binary search or half-interval search is a divide and conquer algorithm which locates the position of an item in a sorted array. Binary search works by comparing an input value to the middle element of the array. The comparison determines whether the element equals the input, less than the input or greater. When the element being compared to equals the input the search stops and typically returns the position of the element. If the element is not equal to the input then a comparison is made to determine whether the input is less than or greater than the element.

Is "Java Concurrency in Practice" Still Valid in the Era of Java 8 and 11?

One of my reader Shobhit asked this question on my blog post about 12 must-reads advanced Java books for intermediate programmers - part1. I really like the question and thought that many Java programmers might have the same doubt whenever someone recommends them to read Java Concurrency in Practice. When this book came first in 2006, Java world was still not sure of about new concurrency changes made in Java 1.5, I think the first big attempt to improve Java's built-in support for multi-threading and concurrency. Many Java programmers were even not aware of new tools introduced in the API e.g. CountDownLatch, CyclicBarrier, ConcurrentHashMap and much more. The book offered them the seamless introduction of those tools and how they can use them to write high-performance concurrent Java applications.
