java 判断返回null_Java – 获取/设置接收和返回“null”的方法

我是

Java的初学者.为了训练目的,我正在尝试为自己建立一个国际象棋游戏应用程序.在我的班级Case中,这将用于实现我的所有64个案例,我编写get / set方法来查找案例实例中是否有一个Piece占用者.

我读到返回“null”是一种不好的做法,所以我抛出异常来表示案件是免费的.但是,我想知道如何将占用者的指针设置为“null”;我可以简单地将“null”作为参数调用此方法吗？

此外,可以采取/返回“null”是一个可接受/良好的做法？

public Piece getOccupant(){

if (this.occupant == null)

throw new IllegalArgumentException(this.occupant + " is Empty");

return this.occupant;

}

public void setOccupant(Piece newOccupant){

this.occupant = newOccupant;

}

谢谢！

this.occupant = newOccupant;

}

return true;

return false;
