我正在寻找一个简单的公共方法或操作符,允许我重复一些字符串n次。我知道我可以使用for循环来写这个,但我希望在必要时避免for循环,并且应该在某个地方存在一个简单的直接方法。

String str = "abc";
String repeated = str.repeat(3);

repeated.equals("abcabcabc");

当它们不是完全必要的时候,我尽量避免使用for循环,因为:

They add to the number of lines of code even if they are tucked away in another function. Someone reading my code has to figure out what I am doing in that for loop. Even if it is commented and has meaningful variables names, they still have to make sure it is not doing anything "clever". Programmers love to put clever things in for loops, even if I write it to "only do what it is intended to do", that does not preclude someone coming along and adding some additional clever "fix". They are very often easy to get wrong. For loops involving indexes tend to generate off by one bugs. For loops often reuse the same variables, increasing the chance of really hard to find scoping bugs. For loops increase the number of places a bug hunter has to look.

public static String repeat(String str, int times) {
    int length = str.length();
    int size = length * times;
    char[] c = new char[size];
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        c[i] = str.charAt(i % length);
    }
    return new String(c);
}

这比你的问题包含的字符少

public static String repeat(String s, int n) {
    if(s == null) {
        return null;
    }
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(s.length() * n);
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        sb.append(s);
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

使用Dollar就像输入一样简单:

@Test
public void repeatString() {
    String string = "abc";
    assertThat($(string).repeat(3).toString(), is("abcabcabc"));
}

PS:重复工作也为数组,列表,集等

如果担心性能问题,只需在循环中使用StringBuilder,并在循环退出时执行. tostring()。见鬼,编写自己的Util类并重用它。最多5行代码。

简单的循环

public static String repeat(String string, int times) {
    StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
    while (times-- > 0) {
        out.append(string);
    }
    return out.toString();
}

尽管您不希望使用循环,但我认为您应该使用循环。

String repeatString(String s, int repetitions)
{
    if(repetitions < 0) throw SomeException();

    else if(s == null) return null;

    StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(s.length() * repetitions);

    for(int i = 0; i < repetitions; i++)
        stringBuilder.append(s);

    return stringBuilder.toString();
}

你不使用for循环的理由并不充分。针对你的批评:

Whatever solution you use will almost certainly be longer than this. Using a pre-built function only tucks it under more covers. Someone reading your code will have to figure out what you're doing in that non-for-loop. Given that a for-loop is the idiomatic way to do this, it would be much easier to figure out if you did it with a for loop. Yes someone might add something clever, but by avoiding a for loop you are doing something clever. That's like shooting yourself in the foot intentionally to avoid shooting yourself in the foot by accident. Off-by-one errors are also mind-numbingly easy to catch with a single test. Given that you should be testing your code, an off-by-one error should be easy to fix and catch. And it's worth noting: the code above does not contain an off-by-one error. For loops are equally easy to get right. So don't reuse variables. That's not the for-loop's fault. Again, so does whatever solution you use. And as I noted before; a bug hunter will probably be expecting you to do this with a for loop, so they'll have an easier time finding it if you use a for loop.
