8, Method enhancement and API use

Methods strengthen practice

This requirement and code are at the bottom of the article.

1. Method parameter transfer

1.1 what is method parameter transfer

Concept: when using a method, the passed in value or variable is the parameter transfer.

1.2 essence of parameter transfer:

Java parameter passing:

The basic data type passes the value itself.

The reference data type passes the reference address of the variable in the heap.

1.3 value transfer

/**
 *	Stack analysis:
 *		The basic type is the passing of "value"
 *		A reference type is the passing of a reference address
 */
public class _04StackHeap {
public static void main(String[] args) {
	int a = 1;
	System.out.println("Before change:" + a); // 1
	// Call the change method
	change(a);
	System.out.println("After change================ : " + a); // 1	
}

public static void change(int a) {
	a = 2;
	System.out.println("Changing-------: " + a); // 2
}
}

1.4 reference address transfer

/**
 *	Stack analysis:
 *		The basic type is the passing of "value"
 *		Reference type is the passing of reference address
 */
public class _05StackHeap {
public static void main(String[] args) {
	int[] arr = {1, 2};
	System.out.println("Before change:" + arr[0]);// 1
	System.out.println("Before change:" + arr[1]);// 2
	// Call the change method
	change(arr);
	System.out.println("After change================ : " + arr[0]);// 6
	System.out.println("After change================ : " + arr[1]);// 9
}
public static void change(int[] arr) {
	arr[0] = 6;
	arr[1] = 9;
	System.out.println("Changing-------: " + arr[0]);// 6
	System.out.println("Changing-------: " + arr[1]);// 9
}
}

 2. Variable parameters

Let's first look at some requirements

Demand: 2 int The sum of variables, and return, design a method implementation
/**
 * Find the sum of variables a and b
 * @param a int parameter
 * @param b int parameter
 * @return Return and
 */
public static int getSum(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}

Demand: 3 int The sum of variables, and return, design a method implementation	
/**
 * Find the sum of variables a, b and c
 * @param a int parameter
 * @param b int parameter
 * @param c int parameter
 * @return Return and
 */
public static int getSum(int a, int b, int c) {
return a + b + c;
}

You can see that the requirements for summation are similar. If there are many such requirements, we need to declare many corresponding methods to deal with them according to our previous processing method. In this way, there will be some disadvantages, such as code repetition, poor readability, and programmers need to take time to remember, so we need to optimize the code with arrays.

public class _03ChangeMethod {
public static void main(String[] args) {
	// Requirements: find the sum of two int variables and return, and design a method implementation
	// Requirements: find the sum of three int variables and return, and design a method implementation
	// Call getSum(int[] arr) method
	int[] arr;
	arr = new int[]{1, 2};
	// Find the sum of three int parameters. Now the parameters are equivalent to a statically created array
	int sum2 = getSum(new int[]{1, 2, 3});
	System.out.println(sum2);
		
	// Find the sum of the four int parameters. Now the parameters are equivalent to a statically created array
	int sum3 = getSum(new int[]{1, 2, 3, 69});
		System.out.println(sum3);
	}
/**
     * Find the sum of all elements of int []
     * @param arr int[]parameter
     * @return Return and
     */
public static int getSum(int[] arr) {
    int sum = 0;
    for (int e : arr) {
	  sum += e;
    }
    return sum;
}
}

Now, although the number of parameters is uncertain, there is another problem. When passing in parameters, it is very troublesome for our programmers to create an array with parameters as elements. Therefore, we will use variable parameters to finally solve these problems.

1. Concept: a syntax that simplifies the requirement of an indefinite number of method parameters. Its essence is an array.

2. Function: simplify the code and hand over the creation of array to the compiler.

3. Syntax:

Modifier return value type method name (other data types, variables, data types... Variables){

Method body

}

Code case:

public class _03ChangeMethod {
public static void main(String[] args) {
	// Call the getSum(int... arr) method
	// Find the sum of three int parameters. Now the parameters are equivalent to a statically created array
	int sum = getSum(1, 2);
	System.out.println(sum);
		
	// Call the getSum(int... arr) method
	// Find the sum of three int parameters. Now the parameters are equivalent to a statically created array
	int sum2 = getSum(1, 2, 3);// Now the array creation is handed over to the compiler, which will temporarily and statically create an array according to the passed parameters
	System.out.println(sum2);
		
	// Find the sum of the five int parameters. Now the parameters are equivalent to a statically created array
	int sum3 = getSum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);// Now the array creation is handed over to the compiler, which will temporarily and statically create an array according to the passed parameters
	System.out.println(sum3);
		
}
	
/**
 * Variable parameter syntax:
		Modifier return value type method name (other data type variables, data type... Variables){
			Method body		
		}
 * Find the sum of multiple int type parameters
 * @param arr Variable parameters
 * @return Return and
 */
public static int getSum(int... arr) {
	System.out.println(arr);// address
	System.out.println(arr.length);// Array length
	int sum = 0;
	for (int e : arr) {
		System.out.println("Element:" + e);
		sum += e;
	}
	return sum;
}
}

matters needing attention:

1. Variable parameters are essentially an array, but this array is created by the compiler for our programmers.

2. A method can only have one variable parameter and can only be at the end of the formal parameter list.

3. Arrays tool class & use of API documents

3.1 what are tools

  1. Concept: simply think that it is just the classes that JDK or other programmers have written for us.
  2. Function: it can be regarded as a ready-made wheel and can be used directly, which saves programmers' time in designing classes and improves development efficiency.

Arrays is a tool class designed by JDK to specifically operate arrays.

3.2 how to use tools?

The best way to use a class designed by others is to learn how to use it through its own API manual (that is, equivalent to the manual) or Baidu.

Steps for using API Manual:

1. Click the index and enter the class Arrays to be used in the search column

2. Take a brief look at this kind of introduction. If you can understand it, you can read it. If you can't understand it, you don't care

3. Directly look at the methods in this class, and then look at the introduction and usage of the methods

Modifier (modifier) has static calling method: class name Method name (argument);

Type (return value type): determines what type of variable can be used to accept the result of method call

Method (method name): look at the formal parameter list. When calling, you must pass in the corresponding argument

Description (description and introduction of the method)

4. If you don't understand the description of the method, call the method directly to see the effect

See if there is static modification. If useful: class name Method name (argument);

See if there is a static modifier. If not, the object name Method name (argument);

Common methods in Arrays class:

1. public static String toString(int[] arr) splicing elements in array, format: [value 1, value 2...]

2. public static void sort(int[] arr) sorts the elements in the array in ascending order by default. from small to large

3. public static int # binarySearch(int[] arr,int # a) queries the subscript of variable a in array arr for the first time. Returns a negative number if not found.

Note: it is recommended that the array be arranged in good order and not repeated, otherwise the query results are inaccurate (both ascending and descending can be used)

4. Expansion and reduction methods of public static int [] copyof (int [] arr, int {newLength) array

Capacity expansion: if the newLength is greater than the length used in the arr array, it is capacity expansion. After capacity expansion, all elements of the arr array have been copied to the new array

Shrink: if the newLength is less than the length used in the arr array, it is shrink. After shrink, the arr array shrinks from back to front

5. static int[] copyOfRange(int[] arr, int from, int to)

Copy the elements of the specified subscript range of the specified array arr from from to to the new array. [including head but not tail]

6. public static void fill(int[] arr,int {a) initializes the elements in array arr to a in batch

Code case:

public class _06API {
public static void main(String[] args) {
	// 1. Call public static String toString(int[] arr) in the Arrays class to splice elements in the array, format: [value 1, value 2...]
	int[] arr = {1, 69, 33, 12, 5};
	// toString is called. Because it is a static modification, it is called with the array class name. The return value is of String type. Therefore, the String variable is used to receive the result
	String str = Arrays.toString(arr);// The error is reported because such Arrays cannot be found and the package needs to be imported
	// Print the return value str
	System.out.println(str);
		
	// Sort: 2 Public static void sort (int [] ARR) sorts the elements in the array in ascending order by default. from small to large
	Arrays.sort(arr);
	// Reassemble sorted array strings
	String str2 = Arrays.toString(arr);
	System.out.println("After sorting:" + str2);
		
	/*
	 * 3. public static int binarySearch(int[] arr,int a)Query the subscript of variable a in array arr. Returns a negative number if not found. Note: it is recommended that the array should be arranged in order without repeating elements (both ascending and descending can be used)
			[1, 5, 12, 33, 69]
	 */
	int binarySearch = Arrays.binarySearch(arr, 12);// [1, 5, 12, 33, 69]
	System.out.println("Subscript:" + binarySearch);
		
	/*
	 * 4. public static int[] copyOf (int[] arr, int newLength)Expansion and reduction methods of array
		Capacity expansion: if the newLength is greater than the length used in the arr array, it is capacity expansion. After capacity expansion, all elements of the arr array have been copied to the new array
		 Shrink: if the newLength is less than the length used in the arr array, it is shrink. After shrink, the arr array shrinks from back to front
		 The capacity is expanded or reduced from subscript 0
	 */
	int[] arr2 = {1, 69, 33, 12, 5};
		
	// Capacity expansion
	int[] newArr = Arrays.copyOf(arr2, 7);// Because 7 > arr2 Length, so it is capacity expansion
	// Splice the array newArr into strings and receive it with the String variable str3
	String str3 = Arrays.toString(newArr);
	System.out.println("New array after capacity expansion:" + str3);
		
	// Volume reduction
	int[] newArr2 = Arrays.copyOf(arr2, 3);// Because 3 < arr2 Length, so it is volume reduction
	// Splice the array newArr2 into a String and receive it with the String variable str4
	String str4 = Arrays.toString(newArr2);
	System.out.println("====New array after shrinking:" + str4);
		
	/*
	 * 5. static int[] copyOfRange(int[] arr, int from, int to) 
		Copy the elements of the specified subscript range of the specified array arr from from to to the new array. [including head but not tail]
	 */
	int[] arr3 = {1, 69, 33, 12, 5};
	int[] newArr3 = Arrays.copyOfRange(arr3, 1, 3);// Intercept the elements between array arr3 with subscript 1 and array arr3 without subscript 3, and return to the new array
	// Splice the array newArr3 into a String and receive it with the String variable str5
	String str5 = Arrays.toString(newArr3);
	System.out.println("Copy specified subscript 1~3 New array of intervals:" + str5);
		
	// 6. public static void fill(int[] arr, int a) initializes the elements in array arr in batch to a
	Arrays.fill(arr3, 996);// Batch modify all elements in array arr3 to 996
	// Concatenate array arr3 into strings and receive them with String variable str6
	String str6 = Arrays.toString(arr3);
	System.out.println("Array after batch initialization:" + str6);	
}
}
