The java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException in Java is thrown when an index used in arrays, lists, or strings is not valid. A valid index must be a number from 0 up to one less than the total number of items. For example, in a list of 3 items, the valid indices are 0, 1, and 2. Here’s a quick example: The error message you’d get would look something like this: Here are some other common ways the IndexOutOfBoundsException might be thrown.

Data integrity refers to protecting data from anything that can harm or corrupt it, whereas data quality checks if the data is helpful for its intended purpose. Data quality is a subset of data integrity. One can have accurate, consistent, and error-free data, but it is only helpful once we have the supporting information for this data. Data integrity and quality are sometimes used interchangeably in data management, but they have different implications and distinct roles in enhancing data usability.

Not long ago, I was handed a problem that’s no stranger to the world of programming: making asynchronous threads communicate effectively within the same process. Given the widespread nature of this issue, I expected to find an existing solution to resolve it. My search led me to the concept of message queue, which seemed promising for streamlining this communication challenge.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) have quickly become vital to modern businesses. APIs work by allowing different systems to talk to each other and share data. The commercial use of APIs and web APIs has skyrocketed over the last decades in accordance with the rise in app development, mobile apps, and e-commerce. However, how do you estimate API development time? Well, API creation and the development time frame will always vary from project to project.
