Lecture 10 - String Tokenizer, Immutable - Wrapper - Classes

The document provides information about the StringTokenizer class in Java, which allows breaking a string into tokens. It describes the constructor, methods like hasMoreTokens(), nextToken(), and an example of using StringTokenizer. It also discusses immutable and mutable objects in Java, how to create an immutable class, and wrapper classes that convert between primitives and objects.

String Tokenizer
String Tokenizer
• java.util.StringTokenizer class allows you to break a
string into tokens
• default delimiter set, which is " \t\n\r\f" : the space character, the tab character,
the newline character, the carriage-return character, and the form-feed character.

Constructor Description
StringTokenizer(String str) creates StringTokenizer with
specified string.
StringTokenizer(String str, String creates StringTokenizer with
delim) specified string and delimeter.
StringTokenizer(String str, String creates StringTokenizer with
delim, boolean returnValue) specified string, delimeter and
returnValue. If return value is true,
delimiter characters are considered
to be tokens. If it is false, delimiter
characters serve to separate tokens.

Methods

Public method Description


boolean hasMoreTokens() checks if there is more tokens available.

String nextToken() returns the next token from the


StringTokenizer object.

String nextToken(String delim) returns the next token, after switching to


the new delimiter.

boolean hasMoreElements() same as hasMoreTokens() method.

Object nextElement() same as nextToken() but its return type


is Object.

int countTokens() returns the total number of tokens.

String Tokenizer - Example
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class test{
public static void main(String args[]){
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("my name is \t khan \n");
int i=0,j;
j = st.countTokens();
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
i++;
Output:
} my
System.out.println("i: "+i+"and j: "+j); name
System.out.println( st.countTokens()); is
} khan
i: 4 and j: 4
} 0

Mutable and Immutable


Objects
Immutability and Instances

• Mutable Objects: Contents of an instance that can be


modified.

• Eg: Immutable: java.lang.String


Mutable: Account

• When the contents of the String instance are modified, a


new string object is created.

BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus


How to create an Immutable
class?
• Class must be declared as final
• So that child classes can’t be created

• Data members in the class must be declared as final


• So that we can’t change the value of it after object creation

• A parameterized constructor

• Getter method for all the variables in it

• No setters
• To not have option to change the value of the instance variable

Immutable Class - Example
final class Account{
final int acc;
final String name;
final float amount;

Account(int acc,String name,float amt){


this.acc = acc;
this.name = name;
this.amount = amt; }

int getAcc(){
return acc;}
String getName() {
return name; }
float getAmount() {
return amount; }

Immutable Class - Example
public String toString(){
return "Acc: "+getAcc()+" Name: "+name;
}
class TestAccount{
public static void main(String[] args) {

Account a= new Account(111,"Ankit",5000);

System.out.println(a);

Output:
a.amount = 1000;
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error:
}}
Unresolved compilation problem:
The final field Account.amount cannot be
assigned

Wrapper Classes
Wrapper Class

• Converts a primitive into object (Autoboxing) and object


into a primitive (unboxing)

Primitive Type Wrapper class

boolean Boolean
char Character
byte Byte
short Short
int Integer
long Long
float Float
double Double

Autoboxing and
Unboxing (Java 5)
Wrapper Class & Boxing -
Example
int a = 50;
Integer i = Integer.valueOf(60); Output:
Integer j = a; // auto boxing -1
System.out.println(j.compareTo(i));

Integer i = new Integer(50); Output:


int a = i; // unboxing 26
int b = Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros(i);
System.out.println("Unboxing"+a+"Int Value"+b);

Note: Binary value of 50 is 0b110010; int is 32 bits long

Review Questions
static void print(int i,int j){System.out.println("int");}
static void print(Integer i,Integer j) {System.out.println("Integer");}
static void print(Integer... i){System.out.println("Var Integer");}
public static void main(String args[]){
short s=30,t=50;
Integer a=30,b=50,c=70;
// Place any of the following statements }

Which version of the print method will be invoked?


• print(s)
• print(s,t)
• print(a,b)
• print(a,b,c)

Rules

• Widening and boxing cant be performed at the same


time

• Widening > Boxing > Varargs

• Widening between wrapper classes is not allowed
