The IComparable interface lets you create objects that know how to sort themselves correctly. This interface also provides an example of a high-level strategy for building and extending your classes.

Classes, fields, methods, constructors, and objects are the building blocks of object-based Java applications. This Java tutorial teaches you how to declare classes, describe attributes via fields, ...

You can dramatically simplify your code by using value objects, but to create a value object that makes sense to the developer who uses it, you need to redefine what the equals sign means. Along the ...

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 ...

It's not good enough to simply write code that works. That code must be easily maintained, enhanced and debugged when problems happen. One of the reasons why object-oriented programming is so popular ...

SystemVerilog supports templates for generic code writing using parameterized classes. Here we’re going to describe some of the design patterns in the code that make up the UVM base class library.

I was recently called onto a project to add features to existing applications. To me, this is one of the most challenging aspects of being a developer because the existing application strips away much ...
