this is my first post here. I'm taking my first class in Java and I have come across a question which I believe is a trick question. I know that reserved words can't be used as identifiers and identifiers are only supposed to use upper/lowercase letters, 0-9, $, and _. long is a reserved word, but would using LONG be ok since Java is case sensitive? I have looked all over google for the answer for this. I could not find an answer on stack overflow so sorry if this is answered elsewhere on the forum!
Thanks!

I think you may have figured out by yourself that reserve words are also case sensitive when you say that Java is case sensitive.
Using LONG as identifier would not cause any problem for the Java compiler, but the problem is variable name LONG may not mean much and might not contribute to a readable code

The compiler will allow you to use LONG as an identifier.
Your fellow programmers, however, will try to hold you back.

1e5 which is equivalent to 10^5 . Is this value represents double or int in java. Can You please elaborate the concept [closed]

This Code is giving error that lossy conversion from double to int.
int[] ans=new int[1e5+1];
The concept is simple: 1E5 is a 'double' floating-point number in Java because the Java language specification says it is.
Meanwhile, an array size must be integral, and the compiler is telling you that. If you really want to use a floating-point number there, you need to cast to int. However, it's easier to just write 100000.

It's a block of code for random verification code in a Servlet book.
the underlined part must be a number of 30+?
but the intention is one of those chars above

NextInt method only has one parameter which is the max number (exclusive)?
So is it a mistake in the book?
nextInt(int) returns a [pseudo]random number between 0 and the parameter passed to it, exclusive. Thus, if you pass a length of an array, you'd get a random valid index from the array, which you can then use to pick a random element from it, as this code does.

I've tried my utmost to reproduce this in another way, but it seems that only this line gives the error (please excuse the comment):
return foo.containsKey(MARKET_DATA) && !foo.get(MARKET_DATA).isMissing();/*mapping code can inject a Missing type*/;
However I type this it gives me an error: "unreachable statement". Why is this?
This is clear if you remove the comment:
return foo.containsKey(MARKET_DATA) && !foo.get(MARKET_DATA).isMissing();;
Note well the two semicolons at the end: empty statements are allowed in Java, but this particular empty statement is unreachable as the previous statement always returns.
(For the avoidance of doubt, a comment should not be terminated with a ;).
The issue is because of the ; after the comment:
/*mapping code can inject a Missing type*/;
The compiler thinks there is another statement after the return statement. If you delete the ; after the comment it will work fine (or put it inside the comment).
As per Java specs ; is a empty statement. So there is a statement after return

so how may I check that? There are 36'000 files and on every event call I would need to check it, there could be plenty of these situations like: "nukasa" or "Nukasa" or "nUkasa", how may I detect all of these if I have one file name like: "NUKASA" or "nukasa" by event calling.
It's work with File not String. I just get String and then I need to work with File to check if in folder exists same file names just in Uppercase or Lowercase.
Please refer below the snippet I want to show as an example:
File sampleFile = new File("Nukasa");
String valueToCheck = "NUKASA";
if(sampleFile.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(valueToCheck))
{
//Logic you want to code goes here
}
Alternatively, you can use file.getName().toUpperCase().equals(valueToCheck) (if you assign upper case string to the variable valueToCheck). Same applies to toLowerCase() method also
CAUTION: This approach works fine as long as the Locale is of English language. For other languages, it won't work as expected. So, equalsIgnoreCase() is the best way. Credits to the person who suggested this
For case insensitive string comparison, use the String method str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str2).

I'm having some problems with understanding how regular expressions work.
I am using Autolocation with Tasker on my android and have marked 2 types of locations with the patterns
[Safe] theNameOfTheSafePlace
and
[Danger] theNameOfTheDanger
I am trying to find out if the area I'm in is marked as safe or dangerous. I have tried using regex with the name
/[Safe/](.+)
but it doesn't recognize it.
What am I doing wrong and what would be the correct way to write this expression?
Thanks
You should be using backslashes \ to escape the [] not forward slashes.
Try:
\[safe\](.+)
Should be "\[Safe\](.+)" instead of "/[Safe/](.+)" ?
