Java 9 with JShell

Chapter 1. JShell – A Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop for Java 9

In this chapter, we will start our journey toward object-oriented programming with Java 9. You will learn how to launch and work with a new utility introduced with Java 9 that will allow us to easily run Java 9 code snippets and print their results: JShell. This utility will make it easy for you to learn object-oriented programming. We will do the following:

  • Get ready for our journey toward OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) with Java 9
  • Install the required software on Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • Understand the benefits of working with a REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) utility
  • Check default imports and use auto-complete features
  • Run Java 9 code in JShell
  • Evaluate expressions
  • Work with variables, methods, and sources
  • Edit the source code in our favorite external code editor
  • Load source code

Key benefits

  • • A full account of Java 9’s new features
  • • This tutorial emphasises fluency using JShell exercises
  • • Get a thorough introduction to contract programming code reuse via Java generics
  • • Learn how to use the new module system
  • • How to use proper functional programming style inside Java 9

Description

The release of Java 9 has brought many subtle and not-so-subtle changes to the way in which Java programmers approach their code. The most important ones are definitely the availability of a REPL, known as JShell, which will make experiments and prototyping much more straightforward than the old IDE-based project-led approach. Another, more subtle change can be seen in the module system, which will lead to more modularized, maintainable code. The techniques to take full advantage of object-oriented code, functional programming and the new modularity features in Java 9 form the main subjects of this book. Each chapter will add to the full picture of Java 9 programming starting out with classes and instances and ending with generics and modularity in Java.

Who is this book for?

This book can be understood by anyone who is a graduate of computer science or someone who has just begun working as a software engineer. Basically, an understanding of an object-oriented programming language like Python, C++ or indeed, an earlier Java version is sufficient. It would be helpful to have participated in the full product cycle of a software engineering project.

What you will learn

  • • Engage with object-oriented programming in Java 9, starting with code snippets in JShell
  • • Optimize your code, applying functional programming features
  • • Discover the advantages of modularity
  • • Become very proficient at using JShell itself
  • • Learn the new approach to Java programming, which uses the REPL as a prototyping tool

Three things:1) The author seems to assume that the reader knows something about O-O languages; it's definitely not for those new to O-O.2) There are a few errors in the end-of-chapter "test your knowledge" questions.3) There's a major problem in Chapter 9 - the section called "Downcasting with interfaces and classes" is not about downcasting, it's about upcasting. When you go up a class or interface hierarchy, as the examples in this section do, from a more specific class or interface to a more general one, you are upcasting. Downcasting is treating an object that is declared as a more general type as if it were a more specific type. So, in the author's example, treating a SpiderDog object as though it were a DrawableInComic object is upcasting; treating an object declared to be of type DrawableInComic as though it were a SpiderDog object is downcasting.Note: this problem may be corrected in the paperback version, I obtained a pdf version of this book.

"Introducing the full range of Java 9's new features via JShell" is the subtitle of this book.More than half of the book is about basic concepts of object oriented programming. For a professional knowing his/her Java these chapters are completely useless.Neither default methods in interfaces nor generics or functional programming with lambda are new to Java 9. The new Stream methods iterate, takeWhile, dropWhile, and ofNullable to be introduced with Java 9 are not even mentioned.The pages are filled with repeated examples and how they are evaluated/displayed in JShell (pleeease, show me one or two examples, not the same five times with different values).But nonetheless learners would have a hard time with this book, too, because the author repeatedly uses concepts without introducing them properly. Ten pages with skecthes of geometric shapes shall lead you to abstraction and inheritance, without defining these concepts at this point. Base classes and interfaces are mixed chapters before they are discussed in detail. The author talks about the benefits of constructors, switches to garbage collection, and only afterwards really tells you what a constructor is.And more basic concepts (data types, variables, methods, conditions, loops) are missing completely, so no chance to learn the language with this book. Even collections appear at one point in the examples out of nowhere.Furthermore some of the presented ideas are misleading. Using immutable objects to prevent problems with concurrent programs is neither the solution to thread safe programs nor the sense of immutable objects.The description of the Jigsaw modularity system new to Java 9 lacks important features, e.g. how to integrate new code with existing one (designed for Java 8 or lower) or how to open modules for reflection, and only provides a basic idea.Even the introduction to JShell is quite basic, not a word about how to set the classpath or modulepath in JShell--which you will need to work with this tool productively.Other changes in the tooling around Java 9 or new API components are completely ignored.Of course, this is an early shot at Java 9 (and an expensive one), but neither will it present you the full range of new features nor is it an introduction for starters. Maybe programmers proficient in other languages but new to Java could benefit from the book. But even for them there will be better introductions to Java 9 soon.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
