Is it just me or is the keyword final not needed anymore in Java 8 to access outside local variables in anonymous inner classes?

rolfl

@SimonAndréForsberg - Java8 has introduced this concept of effectively final

If a method is delcared, and not changed after the anonymous reference, then it is effectively final.

I don't believe so.... it is a Java8 thing.

(introduced specifically so that lambda's would work).

skiwi

I don't think so

but hang on

Simon André Forsberg

Yeah, I also think it's a Java 8 thing

In Java 7 I used to get a compiler error about final every now and then

skiwi

This works

    List<Integer> testList = new ArrayList<>();
    IntStream.rangeClosed(0, 10)
            .forEach(testList::add);
    testList.forEach(System.out::println);

Mat's Mug

rolfl

That is Java8

skiwi

You're correct...

@rolfl I know that was supposed to be my reference

Indeed, it's introduced in Java 8

A: array whose values are the product of every other integer

Why not get the total product and then walk the array (assuming the product is not zero) by taking the total and dividing the value in the current index?

Just because the answer is wrong, does not mean the answer is not an answer ;-)

This is the purpose of down-votes, not flags.

@rolfl it's a question, which means it should have been a comment. it was asking for clarification on the question IMO

skiwi

if a class is not part of a public API, should I then always make the methods final?

Simon André Forsberg

@rolfl I was also considering that. I think I fell for group-pressure this time

Donald.McLean

@skiwi Not necessarily. Subclasses might need to override it.

skiwi

@Donald.McLean I mean with non-pubic, that I am in full control of it and I will decide whether I override it or not.

ChrisW

3:53 PM

@rolfl Its only review comment is to say that the OP code should do something which it's doing already. That's useless.

Donald.McLean

I've had methods that I had to change to protected (from private) so that subclasses could provide specialized functionality.

rolfl

@skiwi I have found performance benefits to final (despite what others sometimes think/say). If the class is 'mine' then I make it final, because I can undo it later if I need to.

It is not about rep or bonuses or accepts....

it is pure upvotes and quantity.

Sure

@SimonAndréForsberg I'll check later, busy atm

Hmm why is this not working

    Collector<User, ?, List<User>> listCollector = Collectors.toList();
    return Collector.of(
            listCollector.supplier(),
            listCollector.accumulator(),
            listCollector.combiner()
    );

good catch for sure there

or no, doesn't matter there

Simon André Forsberg

@rolfl Any idea how?

rolfl

@SimonAndréForsberg - :

 int[] result = Arrays.stream(data).mapToInt(a -> a).toArray();

Simon André Forsberg

Ah, thanks.

skiwi

5:47 PM

but I do want to have the user typed as E actually

rolfl

@skiwi - does that look sane?

(why do I need the a -> a ? )

skiwi

Because you cannot map it else

There's another way I think @SimonAndréForsberg

Integer[] integerArray = new Integer[1024];
int[] intArray = new int[1024];
Arrays.setAll(intArray, i -> integerArray[i]);

You can even do it parallel then

it simply maps the index of intArray to the element it should be set to

Meanwhile I'll continue bashing my head on as to why this doesn't work:

public static <E> Collector<E, ?, List<E>> singleElementCollector() {
    Collector<E, ?, List<E>> listCollector = Collectors.toList();
    return Collector.of(
            (Supplier<E>)listCollector.supplier(),
            (BiConsumer<List<E>, E>)listCollector.accumulator(),
            (BinaryOperator<List<E>>)listCollector.combiner()
    );
}

Simon André Forsberg

Collector<E, ?, List<E>> <-- can't have a '?' there

try with public static <E, F> Collector<E, F, List<E>> singleElementCollector() {

skiwi

It doesn't complain

Simon André Forsberg

Really?

Oh, perhaps not...

But agh, those casts.... they don't look nice.

skiwi

5:52 PM

It even breask it actually as Collectors.toList() really has that ?

I don't even know fi the casts are neccessary btw, was something desperate :P

Simon André Forsberg

What exactly doesn't work then?

rolfl

@skiwi - why save it as listCollector.... why not just return Collectors.toList() ?

skiwi

@rolfl I need to do something with it afterwards

I want to inject a finisher in it... hence I need to obtain those first

rolfl

You are doing it wrong by cheating with the supplier/combiner/etc.

You can't just borrow them from the Collectors.toList().

skiwi

:(

I coudl also have just copied them over directly...

@skiwi - I have been fairly distracted in the past few days... so much so I appear to have forgotten....

Just looking at it, I don't actually think I have even scanned it once before .....

it's not going to happen today.

Well, I have scanned it, but not studied it ... I did upvote it, and remember pointing out your name in it.

But, since it had answers it has dropped off my radar. It is back on again.

skiwi

hehe ok, take your time

rolfl

Thanks, I will ;-)

hrm, not sure if template applies

@SimonAndréForsberg I believe in you, get that 10k!.. but watch out, I think I might beat you and @Mat'sMug ;)

Simon André Forsberg

@BenVlodgi I would be glad if you did!

Wtf? C# IList interface doesn't have an IsEmpty method?

BenVlodgi

gunna get 9k today... need to get marked answer on everything ...got this

rolfl

@BenVlodgi - check this out: data.stackexchange.com/codereview/query/167924/…

See that gap between 10K and 20K ?

(on the right hand side).

Mat's Mug

@SimonAndréForsberg too lazy to check .Count? or !list.Any()?

rolfl

Your name needs to be in that space.

Mat's Mug

6:20 PM

@SimonAndréForsberg there: public static bool IsEmpty<T>(this IList<T> list) { return !list.Any(); }

Simon André Forsberg

@Mat'sMug Technically .Count could take longer time for some implementations than using an IsEmpty method. Although nearly all implementations these days do keep track of the count.

Mat's Mug

That's exactly why !Any() is better than Count == 0

@ChrisW if you read the last sentence of the question and the Tag Description, it kind of matches the tag description. codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/44936/…

BenVlodgi

@rolfl if you increase that to top 100 I'm totally there xD

ChrisW

@Malachi I thought template is for the "template method design pattern", which the OP isn't.

OTOH it's applied to lots of C++ template question, so I don't know.

^ Spam for Red Bull?

rolfl

@skiwi - I thought RedBull gives you wings?

Mat's Mug

Right, you don't need a car if you're fueling on Red Bull, it gives you wings.........

skiwi

@rolfl That's the whole trick.

Mat's Mug

OTOH coffee with Red Bull instead of water, must be horrible

@ChrisW - about the preprocessor : codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/45482/…

Mat's Mug

(we're so marketing-brainwashed)

rolfl

I thought they had to be in the left margin to be recognized.

And, meeting time .... tata

Mat's Mug

later!

ChrisW

@rolfl That true in pre-ANSII C; not true in later C nor in C#

skiwi

@rolfl I got more info on my screen

ChrisW

6:32 PM

It has to be the first non-whitespace on the line

If I watch on a 90% gray (almost black) background, then I see stackoverflow and netbeans kind of burned through my screen

A: How can I improve my A* Pathfinding code? (again!)

It is better to declare by interface instead of implementation. List<Node> OpenList = new List<Node>(); HashSet<Node> ClosedList = new HashSet<Node>(); Can become: IList<Node> OpenList = new List<Node>(); ISet<Node> ClosedList = new HashSet<Node>(); This allows you to more easily change th...

Now I will leave some for @Mat'sMug for a while.

@200_success You should mention that strtok was depreciated as of C11 in your C answer.

Use the POSIX strtok_r or C11 standard strtok_s instead.

Note that implementation will be a bit different.

Q: How to check to see if the characters of one string are in another string

For example: string 1 = helloworld string 2 = asdfuvjerhelloworld this should return true. Another example: string 1 = helloworld string 2 = lshewodxzr this should also return true. So i'm looking how to make a method that will return a boolean that will check to see if the second string ha...
