Understanding the useEffect Hook

 React is primarily used for building user interfaces, where components re-render based on changes in state or props. But real-world applications often need to interact with external systems—fetching data, subscribing to events, updating the DOM, or starting timers. These are known as side effects, and React’s useEffect hook is the tool designed to handle them in functional components. What is useEffect? The useEffect hook lets you perform side effects in your component. It's React’s way of combining several lifecycle methods from class components (like componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, and componentWillUnmount) into a single, unified API. Syntax : useEffect(() => {   // side effect code   return () => {     // cleanup code (optional)   }; }, [dependencies]); The first argument is a function containing your side effect logic. The optional second argument is a dependency array that controls when the effect runs. jsx Basic Example import React, { u...

Exception Handling in Java

In Java, exception handling is a powerful mechanism that helps developers manage runtime errors, ensuring the smooth execution of programs. Rather than crashing the program, exceptions allow you to identify the error, handle it gracefully, and keep the application running. What Is an Exception? An exception is an unwanted or unexpected event that disrupts the normal flow of a program. These can be caused by user errors, logic errors, or system issues. Java categorizes exceptions mainly into two types: Checked Exceptions – Handled during compile-time (e.g., IOException, SQLException). Unchecked Exceptions – Occur during runtime (e.g., NullPointerException, ArithmeticException). Why Handle Exceptions? Without exception handling, an error can cause your program to terminate unexpectedly. Handling exceptions: Increases program reliability Helps in debugging and troubleshooting Improves user experience by displaying meaningful error messages Basic Exception Handling Syntax Java provides fiv...
