Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON

Hi Guys

You will see this error on converting a json to string using JSON.stringify .

Full stacktrace is like

Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
at JSON.stringify (<anonymous>)
at <anonymous>:1:6

Below is the sample code that can cause this exception. You can see that we have created an element object in line number 1 and in line number 2 we are assigning the same element object to the node attribute of the element. This is having a circular reference . Hence you will experience the exception.

var element={"node":{}};
element.node=element;

JSON.stringify(element);

You might also face the error for the following block of code :

var element={"node":{}};
element.node=element;

angular.toJson(element);

Uncaught is added since the exception is not catched by a catch block . According to MSDN, A TypeError is thrown when an operand or argument passed to a function is incompatible with the type expected by that operator or function .So here it is explicitly thrown by stringify method.It is also possible that a common utility method is throwing this exception. Check if your code has the following statement .

new TypeError("Converting circular structure to JSON");

The integer literal does not conform to the expected type String

Hi Guys ,

There are multiple reasons for getting this error .

1. If you have a class for which you are trying to create an object and you have missed to specify any of the class variables while creating the object, you might face the exception like :
The boolean literal does not conform to the expected type String .

Take a look at the program below :

class Student(
    val name: String,
    var age: Int
)

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val student= Student(1)
    println(student.name)
    println(student.age)
}

If you try to run the above program you might face an error like .

• • Error:(8, 25) The integer literal does not conform to the expected type String
  • Error:(8, 26) No value passed for parameter age

Java vs. Kotlin

Hi Guys,

There are a lot of difference in how a java program and kotlin program.

1. package

Java does not allow package name as java , but Kotlin allows to have a package name as kotlin.

2.import
Java program by default imports java.lang.* package.

Kotlin Hello World

Let's check out a simple kotlin program to print hello world to the console.

Let's check out a simple kotlin program to print hello world to the console.

Here's the program to print hello world to the console.

package demo

fun main(args : Array<String>){
println("hello world")
}

If you run the above program you will get the following output.

hello world

Now let's go the program and try to understand the way it works.

Its way more simple for developers with java background,and I strongly recommend get hands on java experience to get expertise on kotlin.

The program starts with package deceleration , which is optional. If you do not declare the package the file goes to the default package . You have few restrictions for the package name . You cannot name package as java , this is same for the programs written in java language. But kotlin is different from java , you can actually name your package as kotlin .

Sorting Algorithms

Hi Guys,

This blog is about the various algorithm used to sort a collection .
Let's have a look into each of these available algorithms.

1. Selection Sort
This is the easiest logic to sort a group of objects .You need to pick the smallest element and swap it with the element at first position. Now you have the first element sorted . Just repeat the same step for the remaining elements and your objects will be sorted . Easy.

2.Bubble Sort
Logic  In an array of N number , start with comparing the first two numbers . Move the lowest element up. Now take the next two numbers , compare and move the lowest of them up. Similarly proceed till the last element . Iteration one is over and we have the largest element at the bottom. Now, make N-1 iterations each time reducing the array by excluding the last element.

3.Insertion Sort
Logic  In an array of N numbers take first two numbers and sort it. This will be the sorted subset . Now, take the next number and compare it with the sorted subset and position it so that..

4.Heap Sort
Logic : Take the array of N numbers and arrange it in form of Complete Binary Tree .After that take the first element and swap it with the element at last index. Form completely Binary tree with the elements excluding the one at the first index. Continue this process until all elements are sorted .

HAX kernel module is not installed

Hi Guys,
You might have seen this error message when you try to run for application in Android Developer Studio . There can be several reasons for this .
1. You have not installed Intel x86 emulator Accelerator .
Solution : Go to android Sdk Manager and check the option   Intel x86 emulator Accelerator . Android Developer Studio will download it to your Skd path . Go to your SDK Path and install it .

2. Virtualization is disabled in your BIOS setting .
Solution : If you get the same error after solution 1.  Go to BIOS menu and enable Hardware Virtualization .

3. Microsoft-Hyper-V is enabled 
Solution : You need to disble Microsoft-Hyper-V if it is enabled .

org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException

Following are reasons of SQLGrammarException:

1. if the  type of id is different than the type of object passed as a parameter to session.get method .
