  JavaScript JVM runs Java

The world of software is made slightly crazy because of the huge flexibility within any computer language. Once you have absorbed the idea of a compiler written in the language it compiles what else is there left to gawp at? But... a Java Virtual Machine JVM written in JavaScript seems like another level of insanity.In fact it is a quite reasonable idea which is only made mad by the usual positions that Java, the top dog, and JavaScript the underling, usually occupy. Java is compiled not to mach...

  Crazy: 90 Percent of People Don't Know How to Use CTRL+F

This week, I talked with Dan Russell, a search anthropologist at Google, about the time he spends with random people studying how they search for stuff. One statistic blew my mind. 90 percent of people in their studies don't know how to use CTRL/Command + F to find a word in a document or web page! I probably use that trick 20 times per day and yet the vast majority of people don't use it at all."90 percent of the US Internet population does not know that. This is on a sample size of thousa...

  Algorithm: Traverse binary tree

Preface There are three ways to traverse a binary tree based on the traversing order. Pre-Order: Root - Left - Right In-Order: Left - Root - Right Post-Order: Left - Right - Root Take below binary tree as example The node to be traversed in different order would be Pre-Order: A - B - C - D - E - F In-Order: C - B - D - A - E - F Post-Order: C - D - B - F - E - A Below are the implementations of different orders for traversing the binary tree. Pre-Order Traversing Recursive implementation N...

  Hexadecimal and long in Java

Today I encountered a hexadecimal operation problem when I was implementing a bit reverse function for integer type. Basically in the implementation, there is an operation which is to do the bit operation & between one long integer and a hexadecimal number 0x00000000FFFFFFFFF. I was expecting that the high 32 bits of the long integer will be zeroed. But unfortunately I didn't get the expected result. The basic implementation is: long num=0x00F0_0000; num = (num>>16) | (num<<16); ...

  Ensuring Go Interface Implementation: A Quick Guide

Introduction Go's simplicity and power shine in its interface system, offering a clean way to define contracts between types. However, when it comes to checking whether a struct satisfies an interface, Go's static typing philosophy means there isn't a direct runtime check. In this concise guide, we'll explore practical methods, including some lesser-known tricks, to verify whether a struct implements an interface. Method 1: Type Assertion and a Dummy Method package main import "fmt" type MyInt...

  How to check whether a struct implements an interface in GoLang

Unlike other programming languages like Java, when implementing an interface in GoLang, there is no syntax like below to explicit tell the relationship: type I interface { } type A struct implements I { } When looking at the code or running the code in GoLang, it might lead to a case one doesn't know whether a struct implements interface before trying to use it as some interface. According to GoLang spec, as long as a struct implements all functions of an interface, it is considered as having i...

  Java AbstractMethodError explained and demonstrated

According to Oracle Java API documentation, AbstractMethodError is a kind of runtime error where the application is having some incompatible changes which leads to a missing implementation of an abstract method. Below is the official description. Thrown when an application tries to call an abstract method. Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if the definition of some class has incompatibly changed since the currently executing method was last co...

  Implementation of Tower of Hanoi

The Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical game or puzzle. It consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following rules: Only one disk may be moved at a time. Each move consists of taking the upper disk fro...
