读书笔记之《effective java》----避免创建不必要的对象

String str = new String("abc");   ==> String str = "abc";

一、错误示范和正确用法

public class Person {
    // DON'T DO THIS!
    public boolean isBabyBoomer_no(Date birthDate) {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
        calendar.set(1946, Calendar.JANUARY, 1, 0, 0, 0);
        Date boomStart = calendar.getTime();
        calendar.set(1965, Calendar.JANUARY, 1, 0, 0, 0);
        Date boomEnd = calendar.getTime();
        return birthDate.compareTo(boomStart) >= 0 && birthDate.compareTo(boomEnd) < 0;
    }
}

 当用到isBabyBoomer_no这个方法的时候，一次就会得到一个Calendar实例，多次调用当然就多个日历实例。

/**
 * baby boomer 出生高峰期出生的小孩 即1946年至1964年期间
 */
public class Person {

    public static final Date BOOMSTART;
    public static final Date BOOMEND;

    static {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
        calendar.set(1946, Calendar.JANUARY, 1, 0, 0, 0);
        BOOMSTART = calendar.getTime();
        calendar.set(1965, Calendar.JANUARY, 1, 0, 0, 0);
        BOOMEND = calendar.getTime();
    }

    public boolean isBabyBoomer_ok(Date birthDate) {
        return birthDate.compareTo(BOOMSTART) >= 0 && birthDate.compareTo(BOOMEND) < 0;
    }

}

实例化Person的时候得到日历实例，进而得到两个日期，当调用isBabyBoomer_ok的时候也仅只有一个日历实例。
