How do I copy file?

This example demonstrates how to copy file using the Java IO library. Here we will use the java.io.FileInputStream and it’s tandem the java.io.FileOutputStream class.

package org.kodejava.io;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

public class FileCopyDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create an instance of source and destination files
        File source = new File("source.pdf");
        File destination = new File("target.pdf");

        try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(source);
             FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destination)) {
            // Define the size of our buffer for buffering file data
            byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
            int read;
            while ((read = fis.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                fos.write(buffer, 0, read);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

How do I clear system property?

The System.clearProperty(String key) method enables you to remove a system property. The key must not be an empty string or a null value because it will cause the method to throw an IllegalArgumentException or a NullPointerException.

It will also check if a SecurityManager exists and if you don’t have a write permission to the system property a SecurityException is going to be thrown.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class ClearProperty {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String key = "user.dir";
        System.out.println(key + " = " + System.getProperty(key));

        // The System.clearProperty() method available since Java 1.5
        System.clearProperty(key);
        System.out.println(key + " = " + System.getProperty(key));
    }
}

The code snippet above give us the following output:

user.dir = F:\Wayan\Kodejava\kodejava-example
user.dir = null

How do I get file separator symbol?

Creating a program to be run on more than one platform such as Windows and Linux our program need to understand the difference between both platform. The simplest thing for instance is the file separator. Windows use "\" (backslash) while Linux use "/" (forward slash).

To avoid manual checking for the operating system we can get the file separator symbol from the system property using the file.separator key.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class FileSeparatorExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // file.separator system property return the correct file 
        // separator for each different platform (Windows = \), 
        // (Linux = /)
        String dataFolder = System.getProperty("user.dir") +
                System.getProperty("file.separator") + "data";

        System.out.println("Data Folder = " + dataFolder);
    }
}

How do I change date formatting symbols?

This example shows how we can change the date formatting symbols. In this example we change the month names and short month names and also the weekday names and short weekday names.

Other than these two items we can also change other symbols such as the Era name and AM-PM string.

package org.kodejava.text;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.DateFormatSymbols;
import java.util.Date;

public class DateFormatSymbolsExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Defining a new Date Format Symbols, the following are month and day
        // names in Bahasa Indonesia.
        String[] newMonths = {"JANUARI", "FEBRUARI", "MARET", "APRIL", "MEI",
                "JUNI", "JULI", "AGUSTUS", "SEPTEMBER", "OKTOBER", "NOVEMBER",
                "DESEMBER"};
        String[] newShortMonths = {"JAN", "FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MEI", "JUN",
                "JUL", "AGU", "SEP", "OKT", "NOV", "DES"};
        String[] newWeekdays = {"", "MINGGU", "SENIN", "SELASA", "RABU", "KAMIS",
                "JUMAT", "SABTU"};
        String[] shortWeekdays = {"", "MIN", "SEN", "SEL", "RAB", "KAM", "JUM",
                "SAB"};

        DateFormatSymbols symbols = new DateFormatSymbols();
        symbols.setMonths(newMonths);
        symbols.setShortMonths(newShortMonths);
        symbols.setWeekdays(newWeekdays);
        symbols.setShortWeekdays(shortWeekdays);

        DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMMM yyyy", symbols);
        System.out.println(format.format(new Date()));

        format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy", symbols);
        System.out.println(format.format(new Date()));

        format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, dd MMM yyyy", symbols);
        System.out.println(format.format(new Date()));

        format = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy", symbols);
        System.out.println(format.format(new Date()));
    }
}

The result of the code snippet above is:

02 OKTOBER 2021
02 OKT 2021
SABTU, 02 OKT 2021
SAB, 02 OKT 2021

How do I do bitwise exclusive OR operation?

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class XorDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int numberA = 16;
        int numberB = 32;

        // Operator ^ is used for doing bitwise exclusive OR operation
        int result = numberA ^ numberB;

        System.out.println(numberA + " ^ " + numberB + " = " + result);

        // Print the result in binary format
        System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(numberA) +
                " ^ " + Integer.toBinaryString(numberB) +
                " = " + Integer.toBinaryString(result));
    }
}

The program prints the following output:

16 ^ 32 = 48
10000 ^ 100000 = 110000
