public final class String implements java.io.Serializable, Comparable<String>, CharSequence { /** The value is used for character storage. */ private final char value[]; /** Cache the hash code for the string */ private int hash; // Default to 0 /** use serialVersionUID from JDK 1.0.2 for interoperability */ private static final long serialVersionUID = -6849794470754667710L;
先来看几个重要的Properties,首先是value,这个是一个char数组,用来存放字符串用的,这里可以看出来,String实际上使用char数组来实现的。而且这个value定义为private final的,说明是外部不可访问,而且是不可变的。这也是为什么,string类型在使用的时候,定义两个变量进行比较,逻辑上会出现“aaa”!="aaa"的情况了。因为这是后的变量名称,其实也只是一个指向数组的指针。
接下来就是一堆String的方法,瞅了瞅分成这几类:string的构造方法;String的字符方法;
有一个要拿出来说说:
/** * Returns a canonical representation for the string object. * <p> * A pool of strings, initially empty, is maintained privately by the * class <code>String</code>. * <p> * When the intern method is invoked, if the pool already contains a * string equal to this <code>String</code> object as determined by * the {@link #equals(Object)} method, then the string from the pool is * returned. Otherwise, this <code>String</code> object is added to the * pool and a reference to this <code>String</code> object is returned. * <p> * It follows that for any two strings <code>s</code> and <code>t</code>, * <code>s.intern() == t.intern()</code> is <code>true</code> * if and only if <code>s.equals(t)</code> is <code>true</code>. * <p> * All literal strings and string-valued constant expressions are * interned. String literals are defined in section 3.10.5 of the * <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>. * * @return a string that has the same contents as this string, but is * guaranteed to be from a pool of unique strings. */ public native String intern();
先来个测试:
intern 这个方法返回的是 返回字符串对象的规范化表示形式,当调用 intern 方法时,如果池已经包含一个等于此 String 对象的字符串(该对象由 equals(Object) 方法确定),则返回池中的字符串。否则,将此 String 对象添加到池中,并且返回此 String 对象的引用。
