Every Java developer should be aware of the importance of the Collection in Java. Needless to say, you can't develop a project without using the Collections. Even Java community also assumes that Collection in Java is the most important topic after Java language basics and OOPs Concepts. What is Collection In Java? Collection in Java is an object which itself contains other objects without size limitations. The contained objects can be homogeneous, heterogeneous, unique or duplicate. Homogeneous objects are those who created from the same class. For example, Suppose we created some objects S1, S2, S3, S4 from the class Student. They will come under the category of homogeneous objects. On the other hand, if we create different objects from different classes,

Spring Scheduling Cron Expression
When we have a requirement where we need to run a task/job repeatedly after a particular time interval, we achieve this functionality by implementing Scheduling. For Java developers, Spring Framework makes it simple by offering Spring Scheduler. Moreover, Cron Expressions are the most widely used approach to achieve scheduling. Cron Expressions are very popular in Unix/Linux OS for scheduling. Spring framework also incorporates the same concept internally. Spring Framework offers us an API where we can utilize Cron expression to get the task scheduled. This article about 'Spring Scheduling Cron Expression' includes all the new improvements in Cron Expressions in Spring 5.3. However, there are some other approaches to get our task scheduled using Spring/Spring Boot, but here in this article
