But how many developers understand how HashMap works internally? A few days ago, I read a lot of the source code for java.util.HashMap (Java 7 followed by Java 8) to gain a deeper understanding of ...

Abstract: Boolean functions should possess high fast algebraic immunity when used in stream ciphers in order to stand up to fast algebraic attacks. However, in previous research, the fast algebraic ...

Nested classes are classes that are declared as members of other classes or scopes. Nesting classes is one way to better organize your code. For example, say you have a non-nested class (also known as ...

Classes and objects in Java must be initialized before they are used. You’ve previously learned that class fields are initialized to default values when classes are loaded, and that objects are ...

What is the single responsibility principle? The single responsibility principle in Java demands that a class serves a single, clear purpose. Any attempt to add peripheral functionality to a ...

Abstract: In this paper, we make a comprehensive study of two classes of Boolean functions whose interest originally comes from hybrid symmetric-FHE encryption (with stream ciphers like FiLIP), but ...

Programmers typically target a specific, long-term support release when they develop applications. That means for the past several years, most Java developers were limited to the Java 8 or Java 11 ...
