Working with ENUM
ENUM is just a list of set of value which are static and final.Executing the below code will have a output like one below

public class Test {
	public enum Company {
		EBAY, PAYPAL, GOOGLE, YAHOO, ATT
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
                System.out.println(Company.EBAY);
	}
}

Output

  EBAY

Now what you can do is to make this constant (static and final) to have further attributes like one below.

public enum Company {
EBAY(30), PAYPAL(10), GOOGLE(15), YAHOO(20), ATT(25);
private int value;
 
private Company(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
}

and more Values with overloaded constructor

public class Test1 {

	public enum JobStatus {
		OPEN("Open", "Its Open", "1"), ERROR("Error", "Its a Error", "2"), WORKING(
				"Working", "Its Working", "3"), CLOSED("Closed", "Its Closed");
		private String	value;
		private String	label;
		private String	order;

		private JobStatus(String label, String value, String order) {
			this.label = label;
			this.value = value;
			this.order = order;
		}

		private JobStatus(String label, String value) {
			this.label = label;
			this.value = value;
		}

		public String getValue() {
			return this.value;
		}

		public String getLabel() {
			return this.label;
		}
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println(JobStatus.OPEN.value);
		System.out.println(JobStatus.OPEN.label);
		System.out.println(JobStatus.OPEN.order);
		System.out.println(JobStatus.CLOSED.order);
	}
}

Output

Its Open
Open
1
null

When you need a predefined list of values which do not represent some kind of numeric or textual data, you should use an enum. For instance, in a chess game you could represent the different types of pieces as an enum

enum ChessPiece {
PAWN,
ROOK,
KNIGHT,
BISHOP,
QUEEN,
KING;
}

Assigning Values to ENUM

public enum Company {
EBAY(30), PAYPAL(10), GOOGLE(15), YAHOO(20), ATT(25);
private int value;
 
private Company(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
}
  • All enums implicitly extend java.lang.Enum.
  • MyEnum.values() returns an array of MyEnum’s values.
  • Enum constants are implicitly static and final and can not be changed once created.
  • Enum can be safely compare using “==” equality operator
  • An enum can be declared outside or inside a class, but NOT in a method.
  • An enum declared outside a class must NOT be marked static, final , abstract, protected , or private
  • Enums can contain constructors, methods, variables, and constant class bodies.
  • enum constructors can have arguments, and can be overloaded.

Simple Search based on Three Parameters

The Search should happen even when one element of the form is not Empty.


isParamNotEmpty = false;

if(param1.isNotEmpty())
{
  .
  .
  Other Coding Lines
  .
  isParamNotEmpty = true;
}

if(param2.isNotEmpty())
{
  .
  isParamNotEmpty = true;
}

if(param3.isNotEmpty())
{
  .
  . 
  isParamNotEmpty = true;
}

if(isParamNotEmpty)
{ 
  doSearch(); 
}

Simple Oracle Function which Returns Yes or No

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION isStudentInArmy(p_location  IN VARCHAR(255),
                                           p_age       IN LONG)

       END INTO isArmyMen

 WHERE Location = p_location AND
       Age      = p_age;

How to set a Specific option as selected

<html>
<head>
	<script src="jquery-2.1.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	<script>
	 $('document').ready(function(){
	   $('#btnSubmit').click(function(){
            alert($('#cboLocation').val());
            alert($('#cboLocation').find(":selected").text());
			});
		});
	</script>
</head>
<body>
<select name="cboLocation"  id="cboLocation">
  <option value="">Select Zone</option>
  <option value="South">South Chennai</option>
  <option value="North">North Chennai</option>
  <option value="East">East Chennai</option>
  <option value="West">West Chennai</option>
</select>
<input type="button" name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit" value="Click Me"/>
</body>
</html>

How to get Selected Item Value

 alert($('#cboLocation').val());

How to get Selected Item Text

 alert($('#cboLocation').find(":selected").text());

1.Utility Classes should have constants for variable

public class PolicyUtils 
{
 public static final String TOTAL_POLICY_LIMIT = "totalpolicylimit";
 requestHelper.setRequestAttribute(TOTAL_POLICY_LIMIT, policyLimit);
}

Since multiple Users can access the JSP page at same time assigning variable name to constant and changing it later makes it easy to change the actual variable name in case needed in future.

Posted in JSP.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

EPS = Profit/Total no of Shares

More the EPS tells the company is running in Profit

Book Value of Share
Book Value

Book Value = Assets – Liabilities

(or)

Book Value = Total amount after selling Company Asset/Total no of Shares

Amount of money that a holder of a common share would get if a company were to liquidate

P/E Ratio

The following should be considered while doing P/E Ratio Analysis

For Value Investment

  1. P/E ratio should be low for Value share and should have been consistent in the past
  2. The Dividend Yield would be More
  3. The Cash Flow Statement would be consistent

Outstanding – Outstanding shares are shown on a company balance sheet as Capital Stock.A companys stock currently held by all its shareholders, share blocks by institutional investors and restricted shares owned by the company

Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a company’s shares outstanding by the current market price of one share

outstanding shares is not static, may fluctuate. Outstanding shares will decrease if the company buys back its shares under a share repurchase program.outstanding shares will increase if it issues additional shares.

The number of shares outstanding will double if a company undertakes a 2-for-1 stock split, or will be halved if it undertakes a 1-for-2 share consolidation.

Institutional Investor
A organization that trades securities in large quantities that they are given preferential treatment and lower commissions. Institutional investors has fewer protective regulations because it is assumed that they are more knowledgeable and better able to protect themselves.

Asset Management Companies like Relianace Asset Management, HDFC Asset Management are some of Institutional Investor.
