// are lots of details and deals with some more intermediate concepts here:
// https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/subclasses.html

// Interfaces
// Interface declaration syntax
// <access-level> interface <interface-name> extends <super-interfaces> {
//     // Constants
//     // Method declarations
// }

// Example - Food:
public interface Edible {
    public void eat(); // Any class that implements this interface, must
                       // implement this method.
}

public interface Digestible {
    public void digest();
    // Since Java 8, interfaces can have default method.
    public default void defaultMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hi from default method ...");
    }
}

// We can now create a class that implements both of these interfaces.
public class Fruit implements Edible, Digestible {
    @Override
    public void eat() {
        // ...
    }

    @Override
    public void digest() {
        // ...
    }
}

// In Java, you can extend only one class, but you can implement many
// interfaces. For example:
public class ExampleClass extends ExampleClassParent implements InterfaceOne,
    InterfaceTwo {
    @Override
    public void InterfaceOneMethod() {
    }

    @Override
    public void InterfaceTwoMethod() {
    }

}

// Abstract Classes

// Abstract Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> abstract class <abstract-class-name> extends
// <super-abstract-classes> {
//     // Constants and variables
//     // Method declarations
// }

// Abstract Classes cannot be instantiated.
// Abstract classes may define abstract methods.
// Abstract methods have no body and are marked abstract
// Non-abstract child classes must @Override all abstract methods
// from their super-classes.
// Abstract classes can be useful when combining repetitive logic
// with customised behavior, but as Abstract classes require
// inheritance, they violate "Composition over inheritance"
// so consider other approaches using composition.
// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance

public abstract class Animal
{
    private int age;

    public abstract void makeSound();

    // Method can have a body
    public void eat()
    {
        System.out.println("I am an animal and I am Eating.");
        // Note: We can access private variable here.
        age = 30;
    }

    public void printAge()
    {

        // age = 30;    ==> ERROR!    age is private to Animal
    }

    // NOTE: You will get an error if you used the
    // @Override annotation here, since java doesn't allow
    // overriding of static methods.
    // What is happening here is called METHOD HIDING.
    // Check out this SO post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16313649/

// Final Classes

// Final Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> final <final-class-name> {
//     // Constants and variables
//     // Method declarations
// }

// Final classes are classes that cannot be inherited from and are therefore a
// final child. In a way, final classes are the opposite of abstract classes
// because abstract classes must be extended, but final classes cannot be
// extended.
public final class SaberToothedCat extends Animal
{
    // Note still have to override the abstract methods in the
    // abstract class.
    @Override
    public void makeSound()
    {
        System.out.println("Roar");
    }
}

// Final Methods
public abstract class Mammal()
{
    // Final Method Syntax:
    // <access modifier> final <return type> <function name>(<args>)

    // Final methods, like, final classes cannot be overridden by a child
    // class, and are therefore the final implementation of the method.
    public final boolean isWarmBlooded()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

// Enum Type
//
// An enum type is a special data type that enables for a variable to be a set
// of predefined constants. The variable must be equal to one of the values
// that have been predefined for it. Because they are constants, the names of
// an enum type's fields are in uppercase letters. In the Java programming
// language, you define an enum type by using the enum keyword. For example,
// you would specify a days-of-the-week enum type as:
public enum Day {
    SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
    THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
}

// We can use our enum Day like that:
public class EnumTest {
    // Variable Enum
    Day day;

    public EnumTest(Day day) {
        this.day = day;
    }

    public void tellItLikeItIs() {
        switch (day) {
            case MONDAY:
                System.out.println("Mondays are bad.");
                break;
            case FRIDAY:
                System.out.println("Fridays are better.");
                break;
            case SATURDAY:
            case SUNDAY:
                System.out.println("Weekends are best.");
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("Midweek days are so-so.");
                break;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EnumTest firstDay = new EnumTest(Day.MONDAY);
        firstDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Mondays are bad.
        EnumTest thirdDay = new EnumTest(Day.WEDNESDAY);
        thirdDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Midweek days are so-so.
    }
}

// Enum types are much more powerful than we show above.
// The enum body can include methods and other fields.
// You can see more at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/enum.html

// Getting Started with Lambda Expressions
//
// New to Java version 8 are lambda expressions. Lambdas are more commonly found
// in functional programming languages, which means they are methods which can
// be created without belonging to a class, passed around as if it were itself
// an object, and executed on demand.
//
// Final note, lambdas must implement a functional interface. A functional
// interface is one which has only a single abstract method declared. It can
// have any number of default methods. Lambda expressions can be used as an
// instance of that functional interface. Any interface meeting the requirements
// is treated as a functional interface. You can read more about interfaces
// above.
//
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.function.*;
import java.security.SecureRandom;

public class Lambdas {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Lambda declaration syntax:
	// <zero or more parameters> -> <expression body or statement block>

        // We will use this hashmap in our examples below.
        Map<String, String> planets = new HashMap<>();
            planets.put("Mercury", "87.969");
            planets.put("Venus", "224.7");
            planets.put("Earth", "365.2564");
            planets.put("Mars", "687");
            planets.put("Jupiter", "4,332.59");
            planets.put("Saturn", "10,759");
            planets.put("Uranus", "30,688.5");
            planets.put("Neptune", "60,182");

        // Lambda with zero parameters using the Supplier functional interface
        // from java.util.function.Supplier. The actual lambda expression is
        // what comes after numPlanets =.
        Supplier<String> numPlanets = () -> Integer.toString(planets.size());
        System.out.format("Number of Planets: %s\n\n", numPlanets.get());

        // Lambda with one parameter and using the Consumer functional interface
        // from java.util.function.Consumer. This is because planets is a Map,
        // which implements both Collection and Iterable. The forEach used here,
        // found in Iterable, applies the lambda expression to each member of
        // the Collection. The default implementation of forEach behaves as if:
        /*
            for (T t : this)
                action.accept(t);
        */

        // The actual lambda expression is the parameter passed to forEach.
        planets.keySet().forEach((p) -> System.out.format("%s\n", p));

        // If you are only passing a single argument, then the above can also be
        // written as (note absent parentheses around p):
        planets.keySet().forEach(p -> System.out.format("%s\n", p));

        // Tracing the above, we see that planets is a HashMap, keySet() returns
        // a Set of its keys, forEach applies each element as the lambda
        // expression of: (parameter p) -> System.out.format("%s\n", p). Each
        // time, the element is said to be "consumed" and the statement(s)
        // referred to in the lambda body is applied. Remember the lambda body
        // is what comes after the ->.

        // The above without use of lambdas would look more traditionally like:
        for (String planet : planets.keySet()) {
            System.out.format("%s\n", planet);
        }

        // This example differs from the above in that a different forEach
        // implementation is used: the forEach found in the HashMap class
        // implementing the Map interface. This forEach accepts a BiConsumer,
        // which generically speaking is a fancy way of saying it handles
        // the Set of each Key -> Value pairs. This default implementation
        // behaves as if:
        /*
            for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : map.entrySet())
                action.accept(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
        */

        // The actual lambda expression is the parameter passed to forEach.
        String orbits = "%s orbits the Sun in %s Earth days.\n";
        planets.forEach((K, V) -> System.out.format(orbits, K, V));

        // The above without use of lambdas would look more traditionally like:
        for (String planet : planets.keySet()) {
            System.out.format(orbits, planet, planets.get(planet));
        }

        // Or, if following more closely the specification provided by the
        // default implementation:
        for (Map.Entry<String, String> planet : planets.entrySet()) {
            System.out.format(orbits, planet.getKey(), planet.getValue());
        }

        // These examples cover only the very basic use of lambdas. It might not
        // seem like much or even very useful, but remember that a lambda can be
        // created as an object that can later be passed as parameters to other
        // methods.
