java类的类属性初始化,Java的定义或初始化类的属性

Java noob here. When coding a new class, when defining class attributes, is there a difference in defining a variable and initializing a variable. Are there ever cases where you would want to do one over the other? I have used a primitive and an Object on purpose in case there is a difference for either case.

i.e.

import Java.util.Random;

public class Something extends Activity {

int integer;

Random random = null;

Something(){

integer = 0;

random = new Random();

....

vs.

import Java.util.Random;

public class Something extends Activity {

int integer = null;

Random random;

Something(){

integer = 0;

random = new Random();

....

Firstly you cannot set a primitive to be null as a primitive is just data where null is an object reference. If you tried to compile int i = null you would get a incompatible types error.

Secondly initializing the variables to null or 0 when declaring them in the class is redundant as in Java, primitives default to 0 (or false) and object references default to null. This is not the case for local variables however, if you tried the below you would get an initialization error at compile time

public static void main(String[] args)

{

int i;

System.out.print(i);

}

Explicitly initializing them to a default value of 0 or false or null is pointless but you might want to set them to another default value then you can create a constructor that has the default values for example

public MyClass

{

int theDate = 9;

String day = "Tuesday";

// This would return the default values of the class

public MyClass()

{

}

// Where as this would return the new String

public MyClass (String aDiffDay)

{

day = aDiffDay;

}

}
