正如许多人之前提到的那样,Java总是有价值的。

下面是另一个例子,这将帮助你理解差异(经典交换例子):

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Integer a = new Integer(2);
    Integer b = new Integer(3);
    System.out.println("Before: a = " + a + ", b = " + b);
    swap(a,b);
    System.out.println("After: a = " + a + ", b = " + b);
  }

  public static swap(Integer iA, Integer iB) {
    Integer tmp = iA;
    iA = iB;
    iB = tmp;
  }
}

印刷:

前: a = 2, b = 3 后: a = 2, b = 3

这是因为 iA 和 iB 是新的本地参考变量,具有相同值的过去参考(他们的点到 a 和 b 相应)。因此,试图改变 iA 或 iB 的参考将仅在本地范围内变化,而不是在该方法之外。

很难理解,但Java总是复制值 - 点是,通常值是参考。

Java 通过原始类型为值和类型为参考

现在,人们喜欢无限地争论是否“通过参考”是正确的方式来描述Java et al. 实际上做什么。

通过一个对象不会复制对象,转移到函数的对象可以由函数修改其成员,转移到函数的原始值不能由函数修改。

在我的书中,它被称为通过参考。

布莱恩·比(Brian Bi) - 哪种编程语言通过参考?

我试图简化上面的例子,只保持问题的本质. 让我把这个作为一个容易记住和正确应用的故事。 故事如下: 你有一个宠物狗,吉米,尾巴长12英寸。

下次你旅行,你带狗,无意中,到一个邪恶的<unk>子,他也是长尾的仇恨者,所以他把它切到一个可怜的2英寸,但他这样做你的亲爱的吉米,而不是一个克隆。

public class Doggie {

    public static void main(String...args) {
        System.out.println("At the owner's home:");
        Dog d = new Dog(12);
        d.wag();
        goodVet(d);
        System.out.println("With the owner again:)");
        d.wag();
        badVet(d);
        System.out.println("With the owner again(:");
        d.wag();
    }

    public static void goodVet (Dog dog) {
        System.out.println("At the good vet:");
        dog.wag();
        dog = new Dog(12); // create a clone
        dog.cutTail(6);    // cut the clone's tail
        dog.wag();
    }

    public static void badVet (Dog dog) {
        System.out.println("At the bad vet:");
        dog.wag();
        dog.cutTail(2);   // cut the original dog's tail
        dog.wag();
    }    
}

class Dog {

    int tailLength;

    public Dog(int originalLength) {
        this.tailLength = originalLength;
    }

    public void cutTail (int newLength) {
        this.tailLength = newLength;
    }

    public void wag()  {
        System.out.println("Wagging my " +tailLength +" inch tail");
    }
}

Output:
At the owner's home:
Wagging my 12 inch tail
At the good vet:
Wagging my 12 inch tail
Wagging my 6 inch tail
With the owner again:)
Wagging my 12 inch tail
At the bad vet:
Wagging my 12 inch tail
Wagging my 2 inch tail
With the owner again(:
Wagging my 2 inch tail

Java 编程语言仅通过值的论点,也就是说,您无法从所称方法中更改呼叫方法中的论点值。

但是,当一个对象例子作为论点转移到一种方法时,论点的价值不是对象本身,而是对象的参考。

对于许多人来说,这似乎是通过参考,行为上,它与通过参考有很多共同点,但是,有两个原因,这是不准确的。

第一,改变已转化为一种方法的能力仅适用于对象,而不是原始价值;第二,与对象类型变量相关的实际价值是对象的参考,而不是对象本身。

The following code example illustrates this point:
1 public class PassTest {
2
3   // Methods to change the current values
4   public static void changeInt(int value) {
5     value = 55;
6  }
7   public static void changeObjectRef(MyDate ref) {
8     ref = new MyDate(1, 1, 2000);
9  }
10   public static void changeObjectAttr(MyDate ref) {
11     ref.setDay(4);
12   }
13
14 public static void main(String args[]) {
15     MyDate date;
16     int val;
17
18     // Assign the int
19     val = 11;
20     // Try to change it
21     changeInt(val);
22     // What is the current value?
23     System.out.println("Int value is: " + val);
24
25 // Assign the date
26     date = new MyDate(22, 7, 1964);
27     // Try to change it
28     changeObjectRef(date);
29     // What is the current value?
30 System.out.println("MyDate: " + date);
31
32 // Now change the day attribute
33     // through the object reference
34     changeObjectAttr(date);
35     // What is the current value?
36 System.out.println("MyDate: " + date);
37   }
38 }

This code outputs the following:
java PassTest
Int value is: 11
MyDate: 22-7-1964
MyDate: 4-7-1964
The MyDate object is not changed by the changeObjectRef method;
however, the changeObjectAttr method changes the day attribute of the
MyDate object.

Java 始终是 pass-by-value,参数是经过的变量的副本,所有对象都是用参考来定义的,参考是存储一个记忆地址的变量,其中对象在记忆中。

查看评论以了解执行中发生了什么;跟随数字,因为它们显示执行的流动。

class Example
{
    public static void test (Cat ref)
    {
        // 3 - <ref> is a copy of the reference <a>
        // both currently reference Grumpy
        System.out.println(ref.getName());

        // 4 - now <ref> references a new <Cat> object named "Nyan"
        ref = new Cat("Nyan");

        // 5 - this should print "Nyan"
        System.out.println( ref.getName() );
    }

    public static void main (String [] args)
    {
        // 1 - a is a <Cat> reference that references a Cat object in memory with name "Grumpy"
        Cat a = new Cat("Grumpy");

        // 2 - call to function test which takes a <Cat> reference
        test (a);

        // 6 - function call ends, and <ref> life-time ends
        // "Nyan" object has no references and the Garbage
        // Collector will remove it from memory when invoked

        // 7 - this should print "Grumpy"
        System.out.println(a.getName());
    }
}
