Project or Build Version Numbers

In Software world, every project/product release has one version number associated with it to identify on which version of code base it has.

Usually every project/product release has its version as follows.

(Major).(Minor).(Maintenance/Enhancements).(Build Number)

Major - If the release has Major changes in Project/Product then we need to increment this number by 1
Minor -   If the release has Minor changes in Project/Product then we need to increment this number by 1
Maintenance - If the release has Bug fixes or Small Enhancements then we need to increase this number by 1.

Build Number :  Every time when we deliver build (latest code) to the QA to test, then we need to increase by 1.

Partial Builds: If only some of the modules in the project modified and if those modules only delivered to QA means, it is called as partial builds. And this will be noted as build number along with alphabets.


E.G of Build Numbers.

Current Version of Project is 4.0.0.0 (4 Major Releases)
If Minor Project got released in next release. then it would be 4.1.0.0

After 4.1, some bug fixes got released, then it would be 4.1.1

For doing above we have delivered 4 builds to QA before Production  release then
version would be

4.1.1.1
4.1.1.2
4.1.1.3
4.1.1.4

Final release would be 4.1.1

E.G of Partial Build Numbers:

4.1.1.1
4.1.1.1a
4.1.1.1b
4.1.1.1c

4.1.1.2
4.1.1.2a

4.1.1.3
4.1.1.3a
4.1.1.3b

4.1.1.4

Compress a String

package com.sbs.java8.praticse; public class StringCompression { public StringCompression() { // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(compressString("aaaabbbbbccccAAAAccccccccdefg")); } public static String compressString(String str) { //String str = "aaaabbbbbcccc"; char[] charArray = str.toCharArray(); String compressedString = ""; int i = 0; while (i charArray.length)? str: compressedString; return output; } }

String Pool Vs String Definition (Using 'new' Operator)

Strings can be defined in Java in two ways. 1. String Literals 2  Traditional way(using 'new' operator) String Literals If a String is created by using String literal notation, memory will be allocated directly in string pool. String pool is subset of Heap memory (Where objects will be created). e.g. String companyName = "Surimenus";      String empName= "Bhargav";       Using 'New' Operator If a String is created using new operator, memory will be allocated in Heap Memory not in String pool. e.g. String companyName = new String("Surimenus"); String empName= new String("Bhargav"); String Pool vs Using 'new' Operator String which are created in String pool will re-reference by reference which contains the same content. For example consider the following. String cn1 = "Surimenu"; String cn2 = "Surimenu"; In the above scenario cn1 and cn2 references having the same content and these are created in Strin...

Self Signed Certificates Vs Signed Certificates (CA Certificates)

Certificates Certificates basically two categories. Self Signed Certificates  - will create by self CA Certificates  - will be  provided by Third party vendor with robust algorithms Depends on the location of installing the certificate these are two types 1. Public Key Certificates (Client Side) 2. Private Key Certificates (Server Side) Self Signed Certificates   If any one is using self signed certificates in their applications they have to make sure both server side and client side certificates are in sync. Other wise we should be ready to face SSLHandShake Exceptions. These will be preferable mostly for lower environments not for production. CA certificates  If you install CA certificates on server side, client side certificates are installed automatically whenever they access the server. So in production for CA certificates there is no need to install the client side certificates. We can generate a Self Signed Certificate using Java Key tool JAVA_HOME/bi...
