给定下面的2个toString()实现,哪个是首选的:
public String toString(){
return "{a:"+ a + ", b:" + b + ", c: " + c +"}";
}
or
public String toString(){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(100);
return sb.append("{a:").append(a)
.append(", b:").append(b)
.append(", c:").append(c)
.append("}")
.toString();
}
?
更重要的是,鉴于我们只有3个属性,它可能不会有什么不同,但在什么时候你会从+ concat切换到StringBuilder?
在大多数情况下,你不会看到这两种方法之间的实际区别,但很容易构建一个像下面这样的最坏情况:
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
slow();
System.out.println("slow elapsed " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - now) + " ms");
now = System.currentTimeMillis();
fast();
System.out.println("fast elapsed " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - now) + " ms");
}
private static void fast()
{
StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
for(int i=0;i<100000;i++)
s.append("*");
}
private static void slow()
{
String s = "";
for(int i=0;i<100000;i++)
s+="*";
}
}
输出结果为:
slow elapsed 11741 ms
fast elapsed 7 ms
问题是,+=追加到一个字符串重构一个新的字符串,所以它的代价是字符串长度的线性(两者的和)。
对于你的问题
第二种方法更快,但可读性较差,也更难维护。
正如我所说,在你的具体情况下,你可能看不到区别。
这取决于字符串的大小。
请看下面的例子:
static final int MAX_ITERATIONS = 50000;
static final int CALC_AVG_EVERY = 10000;
public static void main(String[] args) {
printBytecodeVersion();
printJavaVersion();
case1();//str.concat
case2();//+=
case3();//StringBuilder
}
static void case1() {
System.out.println("[str1.concat(str2)]");
List<Long> savedTimes = new ArrayList();
long startTimeAll = System.currentTimeMillis();
String str = "";
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_ITERATIONS; i++) {
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
str = str.concat(UUID.randomUUID() + "---");
saveTime(savedTimes, startTime);
}
System.out.println("Created string of length:" + str.length() + " in " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTimeAll) + " ms");
}
static void case2() {
System.out.println("[str1+=str2]");
List<Long> savedTimes = new ArrayList();
long startTimeAll = System.currentTimeMillis();
String str = "";
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_ITERATIONS; i++) {
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
str += UUID.randomUUID() + "---";
saveTime(savedTimes, startTime);
}
System.out.println("Created string of length:" + str.length() + " in " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTimeAll) + " ms");
}
static void case3() {
System.out.println("[str1.append(str2)]");
List<Long> savedTimes = new ArrayList();
long startTimeAll = System.currentTimeMillis();
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("");
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_ITERATIONS; i++) {
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
str.append(UUID.randomUUID() + "---");
saveTime(savedTimes, startTime);
}
System.out.println("Created string of length:" + str.length() + " in " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTimeAll) + " ms");
}
static void saveTime(List<Long> executionTimes, long startTime) {
executionTimes.add(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime);
if (executionTimes.size() % CALC_AVG_EVERY == 0) {
out.println("average time for " + executionTimes.size() + " concatenations: "
+ NumberFormat.getInstance().format(executionTimes.stream().mapToLong(Long::longValue).average().orElseGet(() -> 0))
+ " ms avg");
executionTimes.clear();
}
}
输出:

随着字符串长度的增加,+=和.concat的连接时间也会增加,后者效率更高,但仍然是非常量
这就是绝对需要StringBuilder的地方。
附注:我不认为什么时候在Java中使用StringBuilder是一个真正的复制。
这个问题讨论的是toString(),它在大多数情况下不会执行大字符串的连接。
2019年更新
自java8时代以来,情况发生了一些变化。现在看来(java13), +=的连接时间实际上与str.concat()相同。但是StringBuilder的连接时间仍然是固定的。(上面的原始帖子略有编辑,添加了更多详细的输出)

值得注意的还有bytecode:8/java。与bytecode:8/java.version:8相比,Version:13组合具有良好的性能优势
关键在于你是在一个地方写一个连接,还是在一段时间内把它积累起来。
对于您给出的示例,显式使用StringBuilder是没有意义的。(请查看第一个案例的编译代码。)
但是如果你正在构建一个字符串,例如在一个循环中,使用StringBuilder。
为了澄清,假设hugeArray包含数千个字符串,代码如下:
...
String result = "";
for (String s : hugeArray) {
result = result + s;
}
与以下相比非常浪费时间和内存:
...
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (String s : hugeArray) {
sb.append(s);
}
String result = sb.toString();
