Decompose in simple recursive tasks
Do not decompose below a threshold

Take advantage of multicores with no pain

You have more F/J candidate algorithms than
you think!

Not just syntactic sugar
Clutter-free, correct code

close():
- be more speciﬁc than java.lang.Exception
- no exception if it can’t fail
- no exception that shall not be suppressed
(e.g., java.lang.InterruptedException)

List<String> strings = new LinkedList<Integer>();

Map<String, List<String>> contacts =
new HashMap<Integer, String>();

List<String> strings = new LinkedList<String>();

contacts.put("Julien", new LinkedList<String>());
contacts.get("Julien").addAll(asList("Foo", "Bar", "Baz"));

List<String> strings = new LinkedList<>();
strings.add("hello");
strings.add("world");

Map<String, List<String>> contacts = new HashMap<>();
contacts.put("Julien", new LinkedList<String>());
contacts.get("Julien").addAll(asList("Foo", "Bar", "Baz"));

Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>() {

Non-denotable type


Non-denotable type

SomeClass<?> foo = new SomeClass<String>();
SomeClass<?> fooInner = new SomeClass<String>() { };

SomeClass<?> bar = new SomeClass<>();

SomeClass<?> bar = new SomeClass<>() { };


Non-denotable type

SomeClass<?> foo = new SomeClass<String>();
SomeClass<?> fooInner = new SomeClass<String>() { };

SomeClass<?> bar = new SomeClass<>();

SomeClass<?> bar = new SomeClass<>() { };

No denotable type
to generate a class

Less ceremony when using generics

No diamond with inner classes

private static <T> void doSomethingBad(List<T> list, T... values) {
values[0] = list.get(0);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
List list = Arrays.asList("foo", "bar", "baz");
doSomethingBad(list, 1, 2, 3);
}

This yields warnings + crash:
private static <T> void doSomethingBad(List<T> list, T... values) {
values[0] = list.get(0);
}

List list = Arrays.asList("foo", "bar", "baz");
doSomethingBad(list, 1, 2, 3);
}
Heap Pollution: List = List<String>

private static <T> void doSomethingGood(List<T> list, T... values) {
for (T value : values) {
list.add(value);
}
}

list.add(value);
}
}

$ javac Good.java
Note: Good.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

@SuppressWarnings({“unchecked”,“varargs”})
List<String> list = new LinkedList<>();
doSomethingGood(list, "hi", "there", "!");
}

$ javac Good.java

static, ﬁnal methods, constructors

@SafeVarargs
list.add(value);
}
}

Mark your code as safe for varargs

You can’t cheat with @SafeVarags

Remove @SuppressWarnings in client code
and pay attention to real warnings

Multi-catch & more
precise rethrow

Class<?> stringClass = Class.forName("java.lang.String");
Object instance = stringClass.newInstance();
Method toStringMethod = stringClass.getMethod("toString");
System.out.println(toStringMethod.invoke(instance));

try {
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
}

try {
t.printStackTrace();
}

try {
t.printStackTrace();
}

How about SecurityException?

try {
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException |
IllegalAccessException | NoSuchMethodException |
InvocationTargetException e) {
}

Union of alternatives

catch (SomeException e)

Now implicitly ﬁnal unless assigned...

static class SomeRootException extends Exception { }
static class SomeChildException extends SomeRootException { }
static class SomeOtherChildException extends SomeRootException { }

public static void main(String... args) throws Throwable {
try {
throw new SomeChildException();
} catch (SomeRootException firstException) {
try {
throw firstException;
} catch (SomeOtherChildException secondException) {
System.out.println("I got you!");
}
}

static class SomeRootException extends Exception { }
static class SomeChildException extends SomeRootException { }
static class SomeOtherChildException extends SomeRootException { }

public static void main(String... args) throws Throwable {
try {
throw new SomeChildException();
} catch (SomeRootException firstException) {
try {
throw firstException;
System.out.println("I got you!");
}
}

$ javac Imprecise.java
Imprecise.java:13: error: exception SomeOtherChildException is never thrown in body of
corresponding try statement
^
1 error

Less clutter
Be precise
Do not capture unintended exceptions

Better exception ﬂow analysis
