Question List

Question: What is the output of the following code?

  1 import java.util.function.*;

  2 import java.util.*;

  3 public class Printing {

  4   public static void main(String...args) {

  5     Supplier<Set<String>> s1 = HashSet::new;

  6     Set<String> s = s1.get();

  7     System.out.print(s.add("xyz"));

  8     System.out.print(s);

  9     Supplier<Map<Integer, String>> s2 = TreeMap::new;

 10     Map<Integer, String> m = s2.get();

 11     m.put(10, "xyz");

 12     System.out.print(m.put(10, "xxx"));}}

Choice:
A. program print nothing
B. [][]{}
C. [xyz][xyz]{10=xxx}
D. true[xyz]true
E. true[xyz]{10=xyz}
F. true[xyz]xyz
G. code does not compile
H. code compiles but throw runtime exceptions.

Answer: F

Explain: Supplier functional interface takes no parameter, returns an object of the defined type. Line 5 declared a Supplier returns an object of type Set<String>. HashSet::new and () -> new HashSet<String>() are method reference and corresponding lambda function. Line 9 defined a Supplier returns an object of type Map<Integer, String>. Supplier functional interface defined the method get(), which is used to get the object supplied by the supplier. An empty HashSet<Object> print a [], an empty HashMap<Integer, String> print a {}. At line 6, s1.get() returns an empty HashSet<String>, at line 7, s.add("xyz") added an element to the set, function Set's add() function returns true or false. At line 8, print(s) calls HashSet's toString() and print [xyz]. At line 10, s2.get() returns an empty TreeMap<Integer, String>. Map's method put() Adds or replaces key/value pair. Returns previous value or null. print a map calls the toString() and print out {10=xyz}

Study:  Use  the built-in interfaces included in the java.util.function package such as Predicate, Consumer, Function, and Supplier   

Create and use ArrayList, TreeSet, TreeMap, and ArrayDeque objects

Use method references with Streams
