What does pipe mean in Java?
Beside this, what is a pipe in Java?
In Java NIO pipe is a component which is used to write and read data between two threads. Pipe mainly consist of two channels which are responsible for data propagation.
Similarly, it is asked, what does &= mean in Java?
Java has two operators for performing logical And operations: & and &&. Both combine two Boolean expressions and return true only if both expressions are true. Then the & operator compares the results. If they're both true, the & operator returns true. If one is false or both are false, the & operator returns false.
Standard answer of this question is well, main difference between & and && is that former is a bitwise operator and && is a logical operator in Java. From name, you can guess bitwise operates at bit level and perform AND logical operation to each bit, while logical operators operate on boolean variables only.
