7. Module Flow •Review lab from previous module •Lecture/review •Hands on exercises •10 minute break This means if a colleague needs to call you, the last 15-20 minutes of each hour is best. https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 7
8. Required Software for Lab Option 1 •Java 25+ - https://jdk.java.net/26/ •IDE of your choice or… https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 8
9. Required Software for Lab Option 2 •https://onecompiler.com/java for module 1 •https://dev.java/playground/ (for modules 2 and 3) https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 9
10. Features Feature Preview Final Compact Source FIles 21, 22, 23, 24 25 Instance Main 21, 22, 23, 24 25 IO class 25 Multi file source code 22 Module imports 23, 24 https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 25 10
11. Hello JavaOne public class Hello { public static void main( String[] args) { } } 25 void main() { IO.println( "Hello JavaOne!"); } System.out.println( "Hello JavaOne!"); • Compact class files • Instance main • IO class @jeanneboyarsky 11
12. Compact Source Files 25 • Default package • (package declaration not permitted) • Default module • Must declare main method Can have naming conflicts in different folders @jeanneboyarsky 12
13. Compact Source Files • Instance methods allowed? Yes • Static methods allowed? Yes • Constructors allowed? No @jeanneboyarsky 25 13
14. Compact Source Files 25 • Automatic: • import module java.base; • More than java.lang! More on module import @jeanneboyarsky 14
15. Instance main 25 void main() {} void main(String[] args) {} void main(String... args) {} static void main() {} public void main() {} public void main(String[] args) {} + more If two, calls one with args @jeanneboyarsky 15
16. What’s wrong? 25 public class Foo { private Foo() { } void main() { IO.println("Hello KCDC"); } No public no-args } constructor @jeanneboyarsky 16
17. IO Class IO 25 Wraps IO.print(obj); System.out.print(obj); IO.println(); System.out.println(); IO.println(obj); System.out.println(obj); IO.readln(); System.in.readlin(); IO.readln(prompt); System.in.readlin(prompt); @jeanneboyarsky 17
18. IO Class 25 Still need originals for • System.err • All other System.out methods such as printf, format • All other System.in methods such as read() • Ability to wrap in System.in in Scanner • Setting streams to different values @jeanneboyarsky 18

44. Agenda Module 1 2 3 4 Topics Intro, compact source files, instance main, IO class, multi file source code, module imports Flexible constructor bodies, unnamed variables, pattern matching changes Stream Gatherers, sequenced collections Virtual threads, scoped values, Bonus: JavaDoc, structured concurrency https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 44
45. Features Feature Preview Final Flexible Constructor Bodies 22, 23, 24 25 Unnamed Variables 21 22 Pattern Matching 17, 18,19, 20 21 https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 45
46. Flexible Constructor Bodies @jeanneboyarsky 25 46
47. Prologue Rules 25 • Can reference constructor params • Cannot reference instance methods • Cannot reference instance variables • Except for setting initial value of unitialized one @jeanneboyarsky 47
48. Constructor Flow - What prints? public Bridge(int num) { IO.print("n"); } public class Bridge { { IO.print("i"); } public Bridge() { IO.print("p"); this(1); IO.print("e"); } 25 } public void main() { new Bridge(); } pinepine @jeanneboyarsky 48
49. Unnamed Variables 22 • _ (single underscore) is valid variable name • Restrictions • Cannot read • Cannot write • Can define multiple in same scope • Useful for: catch, lambda, pattern matching, etc @jeanneboyarsky 49
50. Unnamed Variables 22 // good String _ = "init"; String _ = "again"; // no good _ = "write"; IO.println(_); String _; @jeanneboyarsky 50
51. Using Pattern Matching 21 null allowed guard clause return switch (obj) { case null -> ""; case Integer i when i >= 21 -> "can gamble"; case Integer i -> "too young to gamble"; case String s when "poker".equals(s) -> "table game"; case String s when "craps".equals(s) -> "table game"; case String s -> "other game"; default -> throw new IllegalArgumentException("unexpected type"); }; pattern variable Still Null Pointer if don’t specify case null @jeanneboyarsky 51
52. Order matters 21 return switch (obj) { case null -> ""; case Integer i -> "too young to gamble"; case Integer i when i >= 21 -> "can gamble”; // DOES NOT COMPILE case String s -> "other game"; default -> throw new IllegalArgumentException("unexpected type"); }; Order like catching exceptions! @jeanneboyarsky 52
53. Enums 21 enum Suit { HEART, DIAMOND, CLUB, SPADE; } String symbol(Suit suit) { } return switch (suit) { case HEART -> "♥"; case Suit.DIAMOND -> "♦"; case CLUB -> "♣"; case Suit.SPADE -> "♠"; }; Fails compilation if miss one since no default @jeanneboyarsky 53
54. Record Patterns 21 enum Suit { HEART, DIAMOND, CLUB, SPADE; } enum Rank { NUM_2, NUM_3, NUM_4, NUM_5, NUM_6, NUM_7 NUM_8, NUM_9, NUM_10, JACK, QUEEN, KING, ACE; } record Card(Suit suit, Rank rank) { } if (card instanceof Card c) { IO.println(c.suit()); Deconstructed IO.println(c.rank()); } if (card instanceof Card(Suit suit, Rank rank)) { IO.println(suit); IO.println(rank); } https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 54
55. Nested Record Patterns record MultiDeck(int deckNum, Card card) { 21 } if (multi instanceof MultiDeck(int deckNum, Card(Suit suit, Rank rank))) { System.out.println(deckNum); System.out.println(suit); System.out.println(rank); } https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 55
56. Switch pattern matching 21 switch(card) { case Card(Suit suit, Rank rank) when suit == Suit.HEART -> System.out.println("Heart"); case Card c -> System.out.println("other"); } https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 56
57. Switch pattern matching 21 String str = ""; switch (str) { case "heart" -> System.out.println("heart"); } Card card = new Card(Suit.HEART, Rank.NUM_2); switch (card) { case Card(Suit suit, Rank rank) when suit == Suit.HEART -> System.out.println("Heart"); case Card c -> System.out.println("other"); } Must be exhaustive if using “when” https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 57
58. What can’t you do? 21 • In switch(x), x still can’t be • boolean • float • double • long • Expanding non-records (coming ?) https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 58
59. Module 2 - Question 1 What is the output? Blue(String s) { IO.print(s); super(); } private class Blue { { IO.print("i"); } private Blue() { IO.print("c"); this("l"); } void main() { new Blue(); } } A. cli B. clicli C. Does not compile D. Does not run @jeanneboyarsky 59

124. Agenda Module 1 2 3 4 Topics Intro, compact source files, instance main, IO class, multi file source code, module imports Flexible constructor bodies, unnamed variables, pattern matching changes Stream Gatherers, sequenced collections Virtual threads, scoped values, Bonus: JavaDoc, structured concurrency https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 124
125. Features Feature Preview Final Virtual Threads 19, 20 21 Scoped Values 21, 22, 23, 24 25 JavaDoc 18, 23 Structured Concurrency 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky TBD 125
126. Leaps in Concurrency + Executors Threads 21 + Virtual Threads Plus many APIs… https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 126
127. Why we need threads Program I’m bored… Do calculation and call REST API CPU Do calculation and call REST API Network https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky I’m waiting for a reply 127
128. Why we need virtual threads Program Platform Thread 1 Platform Thread n Still bored… Send to threads Do calculation and call REST API Do calculation and call REST API Proceed Network https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky CPU Still waiting for a reply 128
129. With virtual threads Program Send to threads Proceed Platform Thread 1 Platform Thread n Virtual Thread 1 Virtual Thread t+1 Do calculation and call REST API Do calculation and call REST API Virtual Thread t Virtual Thread x Do calculation and call REST API Do calculation and call REST API Thanks for the work! CPU Me too! Network https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 129
130. When most helpful? 21 • Thousands of threads • Not CPU bound https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 130
131. Comparing 21 Platform (Traditional) Thread Heavyweight Virtual Thread Tied to OS threads Runs on OS thread but doesn’t monopolize Often shortlived Often pooled Lightweight Instance of java.lang.Thread Instance of java.lang.Thread https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 131
132. Fill in the blank 21 try (ExecutorService service = Executors._________) { service.submit(() -> doStuff()); } Examples: newSingleThreadExecutor() newFixedThreadPool(5) newCachedThreadPool() newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor() https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky 132
