java中位掩码的作用

java中有个类,叫DefaultButtonModel,其中用到了位掩码,至少我理解是位掩码

/**

其中 armed,selected,enabled,pressed,rollover都是按钮对应的状态，如果用boolean表示的话,则就要使用5个boolean值.而且是每一个按钮就要这么6个值排列组合出来会有2^5种情况,很痛苦jdk源代码里面提供了这么一种方式:用stateMask这个int来存储按钮的状态,就一个int就ok了,就可以代替本来的6个boolean其中 if (b) { stateMask |= ROLLOVER; } else { stateMask &= ~ROLLOVER; } }的意思是:如果b为true,则在状态属性stateMask中加入ROLLOVER这一个状态如果b为false,则在状态属性stateMask中减去ROLLOVER这一个状态所以以后当有对象存在多种状态时,而这多种状态又可用boolean值组合而成时,可以参考jdk的做法
