java tips

1. if(find = true) // this  sentence is always true, if(find = = true) is the right way

2. ArrayList uses size(), not length()

    Array uses length(field, not method length())

    String uses length()

    String[] is an array, so use length(field)

3. pay attention to the difference between return i++, return i--

4. when you print a return value

System.out.format("%n");

5. int to char, int to String(转载）

（1） int to char

int a = 1;
char b = (char) a;
System.out.println(b);

will print out the char with ascii value 1 (start-of-heading char, which isn't printable).

int a = '1';
char b = (char) a;
System.out.println(b);

will print out the char with ascii value 49 (one corresponding to '1')

(2) int to String

What's the real difference?

1. Integer.toString(i)
2. new Integer(i).toString()

Integer.toString calls the static method in the class Integer. It does not need an instance of Integer.

If you call new Integer(i) you create an instance of type Integer, which is a full Java object encapsulating the value of your int. Then you call the toString method on it to ask it to return a string representation of itself.

If all you want is print an int, you'd use the first one because it's lighter, faster and doesn't use extra memory (aside from the returned string).
If you want an object representing an integer value to put it inside a collection for example, you'd use the second one, since it gives you a full-fledged object to do all sort of things that you cannot do with a bare int

(3) char to int

Integer.parseInt(Character.toString(char c))
