String.replaceFirst(RegEx, String)方法“不起作用“

问题描述
    使用String类的replaceFirst方法发现即使匹配还是"没有替换成功"
原调用

   String oldString = "welcome to the real world, it sucks, you're gonna love it";
   oldString.replaceFirst("real", "virtual");
   System.out.println(oldString);

问题解析
   replaceFirst() 方法并不会修改原String,而是返回替换后的新String
正确调用

  String oldString = "welcome to the real world, it sucks, you're gonna love it";
  String newString = oldString.replaceFirst("real", "virtual");
  System.out.println(newString);
