在深入学习字符串类之前, 我们先搞懂JVM是怎样处理新生字符串的.
当你知道字符串的初始化细节后, 再去写String s = "hello"
或String s = new String("hello")
等代码时, 就能做到心中有数.
public static void main(String[] args) { String s1 = "hello"; String s2 = new String("hello"); System.out.println(s1 == s2); //false }
String s1 = "hello";
干了什么.
String s2 = new String("hello");
的示意图
如果上面的知识理解起来没有问题的话, 下面看些难点的.
public static void main(String[] args) { String s1 = new String("hello ") + new String("world"); s1.intern(); String s2 = "hello world"; System.out.println(s1 == s2); //true }
String s1 = new String("hello ") + new String("world");
的执行过程是这样子的:
s1.intern();
intern()
方法的详细介绍, 翻译过来的意思是: 当调用intern()
方法时, 首先会去常量池中查找是否有该字符串对应的引用, 如果有就直接返回该字符串; 如果没有, 就会在常量池中注册该字符串的引用, 然后返回该字符串.
String s2 = "hello world";
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { String s1 = "hello "; String s2 = "world"; String s3 = s1 + s2; String s4 = "hello world"; System.out.println(s3 == s4); } }
这道压轴题是经过精心设计的, 它不但照应上面所讲的字符串常量池知识, 也引出了后面的话题.
String s3 = s1 + s2;
, 我们不知道s1 + s2
在创建完新字符串"hello world"后是否会在字符串常量池进行注册. 说白了就是我们不知道这行代码是以双引号""形式声明字符串, 还是用new关键字创建字符串.javap -c 对应.class文件的绝对路径
, 按回车后即可看到反编译文件的代码段.C:\Users\liuyj>javap -c C:\Users\liuyj\IdeaProjects\Test\target\classes\forTest\Main.class Compiled from "Main.java" public class forTest.Main { public forTest.Main(); Code: 0: aload_0 1: invokespecial #1 // Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V 4: return public static void main(java.lang.String[]); Code: 0: ldc #2 // String hello 2: astore_1 3: ldc #3 // String world 5: astore_2 6: new #4 // class java/lang/StringBuilder 9: dup 10: invokespecial #5 // Method java/lang/StringBuilder."<init>":()V 13: aload_1 14: invokevirtual #6 // Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder; 17: aload_2 18: invokevirtual #6 // Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder; 21: invokevirtual #7 // Method java/lang/StringBuilder.toString:()Ljava/lang/String; 24: astore_3 25: ldc #8 // String hello world 27: astore 4 29: getstatic #9 // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream; 32: aload_3 33: aload 4 35: if_acmpne 42 38: iconst_1 39: goto 43 42: iconst_0 43: invokevirtual #10 // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(Z)V 46: return }

toString()
方法获得字符串hello world
, 并存放至s3.toString()
方法源码:@Override public String toString() { // Create a copy, don't share the array return new String(value, 0, count); }
public final class String implements java.io.Serializable, Comparable<String>, CharSequence { /** The value is used for character storage. */ private final char value[]; ... }
abstract class AbstractStringBuilder implements Appendable, CharSequence { /** * The value is used for character storage. */ char[] value; ... }
而且通过StringBuilder和StringBuffer继承自同一个父类这点, 我们可以推断出它俩的方法都是差不多的. 通过查看源码也发现确实如此, 只不过StringBuffer在方法上添加了synchronized
关键字, 证明它的方法绝大多数方法都是线程同步方法. 也就是说在多线程的环境下我们应该使用StringBuffer以保证线程安全, 在单线程环境下我们应使用StringBuilder以获得更高的效率.
既然如此, 我们的比较也就落到了StringBuilder和String身上了.

, String类的效率会更高一点.
