10 Most Common Java Developer Mistakes

[@masterdjon]

I'm a senior software engineer and I didn't need to listen to this video, but I did. I positioned myself as a beginner and I found your video really interesting. The method of iterative corrections (in the "bool == true" example) is awesome. People learn and retain better this way (from my experience). I would like to express an amelioration you could do: give reasons why this or that is better and I also would tell in which circumstance. Example: In the ternary example, I do prefer one liner too, but only if it is short. And moreover, why there was a mistake (because, in fact, in terms of code execution, there is no difference at all)? (This is not a question to answer here, I already have the answer). That's it! Great video!

[@KidJV]

i too prefer one liner as long as it is readable else give me an if-else

[@zazahead]

Good Information! The only thing I think is important to mention additionally is that in the first example, you should also check for null values to avoid a NullPointerException. In general I think just comparing Strings with equals without considering null values is one of the most common beginner mistakes!

[@salawujonathan6722]

Exactly. NullPointerException is one of the most common exceptions in the language.

[@MrMineadrian]

Since java 14 (i think) we can write switch statement using ->. for example: switch (caseIndex) { case 0 -> System.out.println("zero") case 1 -> System.out.println("one") default -> System.out.println("sth") } and using that we don't have to add break statement

[@ReasonableRadio]

that's not too bad. Is it ever really necessary to have a switch statement in the first place though? I suppose it allows you to skip the step of having a table if you're truly just processing a unique output

[@Apopjak]

I am very new programmer, I took Amigoscode Java Master Class and I can proudly say that I am not doing not even one of these mistakes because the course taught we well. Thanks buddy! Now I see how the powerful your teaching really is

[@YaroMalik]

Is it paid?

[@ilhomjonaxmatov6714]

thanks for the info. But I think it would have been much easier to use the "new switch expression" available since java 12, if we used that our code would have been switch (caseIndex) { case 0 -> sout("zero"); case 1 -> sout("one"); case 2 -> sout("two"); case 3 -> sout("three"); default -> sout("default") }

[@moromann1]

Cool! I didn't know that! Is it only when the case is a one-liner?

[@rvbsm]

@@moromann1 not only. Just use curly braces if code is longer than one line

[@KingstonFortune]

yes! same thing came to mind immediately I saw the switch

[@schleuxy2]

From my side its can be better by return ning the value and apply the sout outside the switch. Because in this actual case thé switch is doing two things so its not single responsibility. If after you need only the values without print them you would have to create à New method to do the same thing. Or you would have to refacto your code to what I proposed before.

[@soniablanche5672]

I wouldn't even use a switch for this, just a simple array. String[] numbers = {"zero","one","two","three"}; if(index < 0 || index > numbers.length) { return "default"; } return numbers[index];

[@zip3144]

12:09 you can write do-while loop instead the while loop to make it good concepts of loops

[@meostyles]

4:45 Worth stressing how important it is to use interfaces. This is a very simple example, but if it’s being passed around your codebase as the concrete implementation, that’s a lot of places you’ll need to change if you decide to use a different implementation… The same is true for when you use third party libraries, database etc. You will usually want some interface to that code

[@IvanRandomDude]

Sounds like 2 sec job using any decent code editor

As a code reviewer, the mistakes I see most often every day are from developers who don't understand Boolean algebra, creating code like "if (value == true) return true", and the most common is using return null instead of optional.

[@smarttrupti2007]

Thanks for sharing such nice quick tips. Can you please make detailed video on garbage collector in java and optionals topics, please? Appreciate your explanations 👍

[@cdhagen]

1:30 surprised that you didn't touch on .removeIf() method that is present on all Collection subclasses. It's much less cumbersome than using Iterators and basically a one-liner. Functional trumps imperative style.

[@Jazzon234]

He mentioned .removeIf() on 3:08 but yeah it was quite short explanation and can easily be overseen.

[@AyraSikil]

Thanks for your videos! BTW, I was thinking about this situation: there's an enum for statuses - and I was writing a method, that would make something depending the enum and then return enum.toString - but formatted to a more common format - first letter capital, than all letters in lower case, and _ replaced with spaces. What would be a better way - using StringBuilder, or getting substring(0,1) + substring(1).toLowerCase().replaceAll etc.?

[@KingstonFortune]

might as well use streams...

[@KingstonFortune]

Arrays.stream(Status.values()) .map(s -> s.getVal().substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + s.getVal().substring(1)) .map(c -> c.replace("_", " ")) .forEach(System.out::println); enum Status { ON("available"), OFF("offline"), BUSY("brb"), CALL("in_a_meeting"), DND("do_not_disturb"); final String val; Status(String s){ this.val = s; } String getVal(){ return val; } }

1. in the first example you don't even have to use any explicit loop, just use .filter(), it's thread-safe as well 2. doesn't really someone use generics? is it java 4 or what? 3. I second that, string pool and equality are literally the basics of that language, but still a lot of people doesn't understand it 4. intellij screams "if statement can be simplified", I'd rather give an piece of advice: "listen to your linter!" 5. the ternary's cool :) 6. when it comes to static fields, I'd rather pay attention to not allocate any particular amount of memory to them since they won't be garbage-collected 7. the proper use of switch statements are good, but the switch expressions are better :) 8. agree 9. generally I recommend to get familiar with the jcmd tool, you can check memory dumps thanks to it and many many more 10. optional is a good step forward, but vavr option is even better

I honestly dislike new ui. It became too minimalistic, less functional and comperhensive, now every button only has icon instead of icon + name, so you cant say what is what without clicking on it, the color is also more blue, so it hurts my eyes

[@Mikenight120]

I really love the new UI, you can change the theme of the editor too just in case. I never clicked on things and usually have everything at the reach of keyboard shortcuts so its very nice to remove the clutter in my opinion.

[@infoelekblog9688]

I think the advice about using List instead ArrayList does not apply when working with local variables, by doing so you limit yourself to use only interface that List provide (without casting). Generally your device is good but the way you change the code is is a bad practice :|

[@Jazzon234]

It depends on the implementation you are using. Speaking of List and ArrayList, there is no reason to use ArrayList because it doesn't really provide any additional functionality that you would need to use. If the specific implementation provides additional functionality, then yes you are right :)
