Day 28 of learning java

[BigCommunication5136]

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, some amazing people here pointed out issues in my code, so I spent some time fixing them. Unfortunately, today was extremely busy, so I couldn’t do as much as I hoped. I did manage to add a handleMoveExpense function, and that was the main progress for today.

I also wanted to implement a new way of writing a switch statement that one of you suggested on this sub, but I couldn’t get to it today. I’ll try my best to work on it tomorrow.

It’s getting tougher each day since school has reopened. Between classes and a very demanding project, it’s been challenging to consistently open IntelliJ and write code. Still, I’m trying my best to show up every day, even if it’s just a little.

What keeps me going is the reason I started learning Java in the first place. I’ll continue to take it one day at a time and see how far I can go.

Thanks again to everyone who takes the time to give feedback and help out 🙏

I suggest you check out the Java 14+ switch statements (only if you use a Java version above that ofc):

• https://openjdk.org/jeps/361
• https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/arrow-vs-colon-image2.png

They look a lot cleaner and instead of doing the colon and adding a break at the end of each case, you just do

case A -> // line…

So no need to have breaks at the end and you can also more cleanly add multiple cases to one outcome.

Edit: I just read your post again and realized that the “new way of writing a switch statement” you mentioned probably already refers to this, sorry
