Java 9 with JShell

By: Gaston C. Hillar

Overview of this book

The release of Java 9 has brought many subtle and not-so-subtle changes to the way in which Java programmers approach their code. The most important ones are definitely the availability of a REPL, known as JShell, which will make experiments and prototyping much more straightforward than the old IDE-based project-led approach. Another, more subtle change can be seen in the module system, which will lead to more modularized, maintainable code. The techniques to take full advantage of object-oriented code, functional programming and the new modularity features in Java 9 form the main subjects of this book. Each chapter will add to the full picture of Java 9 programming starting out with classes and instances and ending with generics and modularity in Java.

Declaring two classes that implement an interface to work with two type parameters


Now, we will declare a class named Smartphone that implements the previously defined Hearable interface. We can read the class declaration as "the Smartphone class implements the Hearable interface." The following lines show the code for the new class. The code file for the sample is included in the java_9_oop_chapter_11_01 folder, in the example11_01.java file.

public class Smartphone implements Hearable {
    public final String modelName;

    public Smartphone(String modelName) {
        this.modelName = modelName;
    }

    @Override
    public void playMusic() {
        System.out.println(
            String.format("%s starts playing music.",
                modelName));
        System.out.println(
            String.format("cha-cha-cha untz untz untz",
                modelName));
    }

    @Override
    public void playMusicWithLyrics(String lyrics) {
        System.out.println(
            String...
