第6章 类再生
“Java引人注目的一项特性是代码的重复使用或者再生。但最具革命意义的是,除代码的复制和修改以外,我们还能做多得多的其他事情。”
在象C那样的程序化语言里,代码的重复使用早已可行,但效果不是特别显著。与Java的其他地方一样,这个方案解决的也是与类有关的问题。我们通过创建新类来重复使用代码,但却用不着重新创建,可以直接使用别人已建好并调试好的现成类。
但这样做必须保证不会干扰原有的代码。在这一章里,我们将介绍两个达到这一目标的方法。第一个最简单:在新类里简单地创建原有类的对象。我们把这种方法叫作“合成”,因为新类由现有类的对象合并而成。我们只是简单地重复利用代码的功能,而不是采用它的形式。
第二种方法则显得稍微有些技巧。它创建一个新类,将其作为现有类的一个“类型”。我们可以原样采取现有类的形式,并在其中加入新代码,同时不会对现有的类产生影响。这种魔术般的行为叫作“继承”(Inheritance),涉及的大多数工作都是由编译器完成的。对于面向对象的程序设计,“继承”是最重要的基础概念之一。它对我们下一章要讲述的内容会产生一些额外的影响。
对于合成与继承这两种方法,大多数语法和行为都是类似的(因为它们都要根据现有的类型生成新类型)。在本章,我们将深入学习这些代码再生或者重复使用的机制。
6.1 合成的语法
就以前的学习情况来看,事实上已进行了多次“合成”操作。为进行合成,我们只需在新类里简单地置入对象句柄即可。举个例子来说,假定需要在一个对象里容纳几个String对象、两种基本数据类型以及属于另一个类的一个对象。对于非基本类型的对象来说,只需将句柄置于新类即可;而对于基本数据类型来说,则需在自己的类中定义它们。如下所示(若执行该程序时有麻烦,请参见第3章3.1.2小节“赋值”):
