第3章 控制程序流程
“就象任何有感知的生物一样,程序必须能操纵自己的世界,在执行过程中作出判断与选择。”
在Java里,我们利用运算符操纵对象和数据,并用执行控制语句作出选择。Java是建立在C++基础上的,所以对C和C++程序员来说,对Java这方面的大多数语句和运算符都应是非常熟悉的。当然,Java也进行了自己的一些改进与简化工作。
3.1 使用Java运算符
运算符以一个或多个自变量为基础,可生成一个新值。自变量采用与原始方法调用不同的一种形式,但效果是相同的。根据以前写程序的经验,运算符的常规概念应该不难理解。
加号(+)、减号和负号(-)、乘号(*)、除号(/)以及等号(=)的用法与其他所有编程语言都是类似的。
所有运算符都能根据自己的运算对象生成一个值。除此以外,一个运算符可改变运算对象的值,这叫作“副作用”(Side
Effect)。运算符最常见的用途就是修改自己的运算对象,从而产生副作用。但要注意生成的值亦可由没有副作用的运算符生成。
几乎所有运算符都只能操作“主类型”(Primitives)。唯一的例外是“=”、“==”和“!=”,它们能操作所有对象(也是对象易令人混淆的一个地方)。除此以外,String类支持“+”和“+=”。
3.1.1 优先级
运算符的优先级决定了存在多个运算符时一个表达式各部分的计算顺序。Java对计算顺序作出了特别的规定。其中,最简单的规则就是乘法和除法在加法和减法之前完成。程序员经常都会忘记其他优先级规则,所以应该用括号明确规定计算顺序。例如:
A = X + Y - 2/2 + Z;
为上述表达式加上括号后,就有了一个不同的含义。
A = X + (Y - 2)/(2 + Z);
3.1.2 赋值
赋值是用等号运算符(=)进行的。它的意思是“取得右边的值,把它复制到左边”。右边的值可以是任何常数、变量或者表达式,只要能产生一个值就行。但左边的值必须是一个明确的、已命名的变量。也就是说,它必须有一个物理性的空间来保存右边的值。举个例子来说,可将一个常数赋给一个变量(A=4;),但不可将任何东西赋给一个常数(比如不能4=A)。
对主数据类型的赋值是非常直接的。由于主类型容纳了实际的值,而且并非指向一个对象的句柄,所以在为其赋值的时候,可将来自一个地方的内容复制到另一个地方。例如,假设为主类型使用“A=B”,那么B处的内容就复制到A。若接着又修改了A,那么B根本不会受这种修改的影响。作为一名程序员,这应成为自己的常识。
但在为对象“赋值”的时候,情况却发生了变化。对一个对象进行操作时,我们真正操作的是它的句柄。所以倘若“从一个对象到另一个对象”赋值,实际就是将句柄从一个地方复制到另一个地方。这意味着假若为对象使用“C=D”,那么C和D最终都会指向最初只有D才指向的那个对象。下面这个例子将向大家阐示这一点。
这里有一些题外话。在后面,大家在代码示例里看到的第一个语句将是“package
03”使用的“package”语句,它代表本书第3章。本书每一章的第一个代码清单都会包含象这样的一个“package”(封装、打包、包裹)语句,它的作用是为那一章剩余的代码建立章节编号。在第17章,大家会看到第3章的所有代码清单(除那些有不同封装名称的以外)都会自动置入一个名为c03的子目录里;第4章的代码置入c04;以此类推。所有这些都是通过第17章展示的CodePackage.java程序实现的;“封装”的基本概念会在第5章进行详尽的解释。就目前来说,大家只需记住象“package
03”这样的形式只是用于为某一章的代码清单建立相应的子目录。
为运行程序,必须保证在classpath里包含了我们安装本书源码文件的根目录(那个目录里包含了c02,c03c,c04等等子目录)。
对于Java后续的版本(1.1.4和更高版本),如果您的main()用package语句封装到一个文件里,那么必须在程序名前面指定完整的包裹名称,否则不能运行程序。在这种情况下,命令行是:
java c03.Assignment
运行位于一个“包裹”里的程序时,随时都要注意这方面的问题。
下面是例子:
