reverse()
method reverses the order of the characters in a StringBuffer
object. Unlike the methods of immutable objects, this method changes the data of its object. For practice, let us write another method that does this. The
append()
method puts a new character at the end of a StringBuffer
object. No new object is created. We can use this method to build up the reversed characters as the original String
is scanned from right to left: public class ReverseTesterIn this version of
{
public static String reverse( String data )
{
StringBuffer temp = new StringBuffer();
for ( int j=data.length()-1; j >= 0; j-- ) // scan the String from right to left
temp.append( data.charAt(j) ); // append characters on the right
return temp.toString(); // return a String created from the StringBuffer
}
public static void main ( String[] args )
{
System.out.println( reverse( "Hello" ) );
}
}
reverse()
, only two new objects are created: the StringBuffer
and the String
object that is returned to the caller.Note that program does not make any assumptions about the size of the original
String
