Reader is an abstract class in Java used for reading character streams. It is the base class for all classes that read character data, such as BufferedReader, FileReader, StringReader, etc.It plays the character-based equivalent of the InputStream, which deals with byte-based streams. Commonly Used Methods Simple Program – Read from a File Using FileReader Read …
The InputStream class is an abstract class in java.io used for reading byte-based input. It serves as the superclass for all classes representing an input stream of bytes (e.g., FileInputStream, BufferedInputStream, etc.). Commonly Used Methods Simple Program: Reading Bytes from a File Read content from a file using FileInputStream (a subclass of InputStream) and print …
Generic programming is a paradigm that focuses on designing algorithms and data structures in a way that they work with any data type. In Java, this is primarily achieved using generics, introduced in Java 5. It allows developers to create classes, interfaces, and methods that operate on types specified as parameters—enabling type safety, code reuse, …
Java Generics, introduced in Java 5, allow developers to define classes, interfaces, and methods with type parameters. This enables type safety and eliminates the need for explicit casting, while also making APIs cleaner and easier to use. Generics are widely used in Java libraries and frameworks such as the Java Collections Framework (JCF), Java Standard …

Generic Reflection refers to using the Java Reflection API to inspect and analyze generic types (like List<String>, Map<String, Integer>, etc.) at runtime. Normally, due to type erasure, generic type information is not available at runtime. However, some type metadata is preserved and can be accessed using the java.lang.reflect package — particularly through Type, ParameterizedType, and …
Concurrent collections are specialized data structures in programming that facilitate safe and efficient manipulation of shared data by multiple threads in a concurrent environment. Traditional collections, like lists, queues, or maps, often face issues like race conditions when accessed by multiple threads simultaneously. Concurrent collections address these issues by providing built-in thread-safe operations. Concurrent collections …

Generics in Java allow for type safety and reusability, but there are certain constraints and limitations to their usage. Understanding these constraints is crucial for writing efficient, type-safe, and robust generic code. Constraint Type Description Example Upper Bound Restricts the generic type to be a subclass of a specific class or an implementation of an …
