How to use Mockito to Unit test Java Program with JUnit? Example Tutorial

Hello guys, if you are writing unit test your Java application then you would have definitely come across JUnit and Mockito, two of the essential unit testing framework  for Java developers. While JUnit offers support to run your test, setup and teardown and also assertion to check the expected and actual output. Mockito complements JUnit by offering you a mock based testing approach. Mock is nothing but a test double which can return a configured value when a certain method is called. It also provides ability to check if a particular method is called or not. By using Mock object or test double you can check if your code is behaving properly or not in different scenarios. This is also the key difference between JUnit and Mockito, JUnit provides infrastructure to run your test while Mockito provide infrastructure to created Mock objects. 

How to Enable log SQL statements in Spring Boot? Example Tutorial

Hello guys, if you are a Java developer developing Spring Boot applications, you may need to have proper knowledge of various kinds of errors and also how to overcome those. For example, most of Java developers use JPA in spring boot to make our work easy when managing databases. If you get an error like an internal server error (504 error), you need to go through your backend system and find the error. In many cases, these errors are caused by running invalid SQL or due to error on database. At that time, you often need to know which SQL statements are executed by Hibernate or JPA, or any other database library you are using.  

Top 10 Matrix Coding Exercises for Programming interviews and Homework

Hello guys, if you are preparing for Coding interviews and solved 100+ data structure problems then you may know that Matrix is one of the under-rated topic for coding interviews but Matrix coding problems are not that easy to solve and  In this article, we'll see some of the popular Matrix coding problems for coding interviews. I actually learned a lot by solving Matrix related problems. I still remember the first Matrix based problem I solve was about how to multiply two matrices in Java and I learned a lot about multi-dimensional array and nested loop in Java by solving that problem. The second problem I solved was about transposing Matrix and that was also quite challenging for me at that time but helped me to further solidify my knowledge about loops and array in Java. 

How to find first recurring or duplicate character in given String? [Solved]

Hello guys, while surfing the Internet for a couple of weeks back, I come to know that this problem was asked on Google interviews, find the first recurring character in a given String. I don't know if that's true but this looks like a very simple coding problem from Google's Interview standard. If it was indeed asked, then that guy must have been very lucky. Anyway, I liked this coding problem and thought to write about it, because it's a good coding problem to check candidates' data structure and algorithms skills because it's tricky. It's tricky because it's very easy to make a mistake assuming just one recurring character in String, which you should avoid. Even if it was not asked on Google, you will potentially find this problem on various startups, and other IT companies like Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Microsoft, and maybe Amazon. 

Difference between CAST, CONVERT, and PARSE SQL Server? Example Tutorial

Though all three, CAST, CONVERT, and PARSE are used to convert one data type into another in SQL Server, there are some subtle differences between them. The  CAST method accepts just two parameters, expression, and target type, but CONVERT() also takes a third parameter representing the format of conversion, which is supported for some conversions, like between character strings and date-time values. For example, CONVERT(DATE, '2/7/2015', 101) converts the character string '2/7/2015' to DATE using DATE format 101, representing United States standard.

Why Singleton is Anti Pattern in Java Now and Why you should avoid it? Example

There was a time when the Singleton pattern was the darling pattern of many developers. It's a unique feature to keep certain services available globally, makes it very useful in all kinds of applications. It was also one of the most used design patterns among Java developers. I think the main reason for the Singleton pattern's popularity of designing the application is that there is always one instance of the most important service like Manager and Data Access classes. Still, with the adoption of Dependency injection, Singleton slowly faded away, and now it's considered an anti-pattern in Java applications. 

Java Stream + map + flatMap + Collectors.toSet() Example Tutorial

Hello guys, I was searching for a good example of flatMap online but didn't found a good one, so created my own. As name suggest flatMap is used to flatten stream like unwinding multiple list of values. For example you have a Stream of List of Integer and you want to create Stream of Integer by unwinding those list, you can do that using FlatMap function from java.util.Stream class. Coming back to flatMap, its actually a general concept which is available in other functional programming language like Scala. Just like map() function works by applying a function to each element in the Stream, flatMap works by applying a function that returns a sequence for each element in the list, and flattening the results into Stream or another list. 

How to Join Two or More Tables in a SQL query? Left Join Example Leetcode Solution

Hello guys, when it comes to combining two tables in SQL, many programmers don't know that they can use the JOIN clause. In fact, JOIN is there to fetch data from multiple tables together. There are mainly two types of joins, INNER Join and OUTER join. On Inner join, only those records have matching values in both tables, while in Outer join, all records from one table are selected in addition to matching records from other tables. There are two kinds of Outer join in SQL, LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN. Both are actually the same thing, which means you can get the same result by using either of the outer joins by changing the table's position from left to right.
