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");

编辑

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.


当前回答

在java-8中,你也可以使用Stream.generate。

import static java.util.stream.Collectors.joining;
...
String repeated = Stream.generate(() -> "abc").limit(3).collect(joining()); //"abcabcabc"

如果需要,你可以用一个简单的实用方法来包装它:

public static String repeat(String str, int times) {
   return Stream.generate(() -> str).limit(times).collect(joining());
}

其他回答

下面是最短的版本(需要Java 1.5+):

repeated = new String(new char[n]).replace("\0", s);

其中n是你想要重复字符串的次数,s是要重复的字符串。

不需要导入或库。

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();
}

我很喜欢这个问题。有很多知识和风格。所以我不能没有展示我的摇滚就离开;)

{
    String string = repeat("1234567890", 4);
    System.out.println(string);
    System.out.println("=======");
    repeatWithoutCopySample(string, 100000);
    System.out.println(string);// This take time, try it without printing
    System.out.println(string.length());
}

/**
 * The core of the task.
 */
@SuppressWarnings("AssignmentToMethodParameter")
public static char[] repeat(char[] sample, int times) {
    char[] r = new char[sample.length * times];
    while (--times > -1) {
        System.arraycopy(sample, 0, r, times * sample.length, sample.length);
    }
    return r;
}

/**
 * Java classic style.
 */
public static String repeat(String sample, int times) {
    return new String(repeat(sample.toCharArray(), times));
}

/**
 * Java extreme memory style.
 */
@SuppressWarnings("UseSpecificCatch")
public static void repeatWithoutCopySample(String sample, int times) {
    try {
        Field valueStringField = String.class.getDeclaredField("value");
        valueStringField.setAccessible(true);
        valueStringField.set(sample, repeat((char[]) valueStringField.get(sample), times));
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        throw new RuntimeException(ex);
    }
}

OOP的解决方案

几乎每个答案都提出了一个静态函数作为解决方案,但考虑到面向对象(为了可重用性和清晰度),我通过CharSequence-Interface(这也开放了可变charsequence -类的可用性)通过委托提出了一个解决方案。

下面的类可以使用或不使用Separator-String/CharSequence,并且每次调用“toString()”都会构建最终的重复String。 输入/分隔符不仅限于string类,而且可以是实现CharSequence的每个类(例如StringBuilder, StringBuffer等)!

源代码:

/**
 * Helper-Class for Repeating Strings and other CharSequence-Implementations
 * @author Maciej Schuttkowski
 */
public class RepeatingCharSequence implements CharSequence {
    final int count;
    CharSequence internalCharSeq = "";
    CharSequence separator = "";
    /**
     * CONSTRUCTOR - RepeatingCharSequence
     * @param input CharSequence to repeat
     * @param count Repeat-Count
     */
    public RepeatingCharSequence(CharSequence input, int count) {
        if(count < 0)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can not repeat String \""+input+"\" less than 0 times! count="+count);
        if(count > 0)
            internalCharSeq = input;
        this.count = count;
    }
    /**
     * CONSTRUCTOR - Strings.RepeatingCharSequence
     * @param input CharSequence to repeat
     * @param count Repeat-Count
     * @param separator Separator-Sequence to use
     */
    public RepeatingCharSequence(CharSequence input, int count, CharSequence separator) {
        this(input, count);
        this.separator = separator;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence subSequence(int start, int end) {
        checkBounds(start);
        checkBounds(end);
        int subLen = end - start;
        if (subLen < 0) {
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Illegal subSequence-Length: "+subLen);
        }
        return (start == 0 && end == length()) ? this
                    : toString().substring(start, subLen);
    }
    @Override
    public int length() {
        //We return the total length of our CharSequences with the separator 1 time less than amount of repeats:
        return count < 1 ? 0
                : ( (internalCharSeq.length()*count) + (separator.length()*(count-1)));
    }
    @Override
    public char charAt(int index) {
        final int internalIndex = internalIndex(index);
        //Delegate to Separator-CharSequence or Input-CharSequence depending on internal index:
        if(internalIndex > internalCharSeq.length()-1) {
            return separator.charAt(internalIndex-internalCharSeq.length());
        }
        return internalCharSeq.charAt(internalIndex);
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return count < 1 ? ""
                : new StringBuilder(this).toString();
    }

    private void checkBounds(int index) {
        if(index < 0 || index >= length())
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index out of Bounds: "+index);
    }
    private int internalIndex(int index) {
        // We need to add 1 Separator-Length to total length before dividing,
        // as we subtracted one Separator-Length in "length()"
        return index % ((length()+separator.length())/count);
    }
}

使用示例:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //String input = "12345";
    //StringBuffer input = new StringBuffer("12345");
    StringBuilder input = new StringBuilder("123");
    //String separator = "<=>";
    StringBuilder separator = new StringBuilder("<=");//.append('>');
    int repeatCount = 2;

    CharSequence repSeq = new RepeatingCharSequence(input, repeatCount, separator);
    String repStr = repSeq.toString();

    System.out.println("Repeat="+repeatCount+"\tSeparator="+separator+"\tInput="+input+"\tLength="+input.length());
    System.out.println("CharSeq:\tLength="+repSeq.length()+"\tVal="+repSeq);
    System.out.println("String :\tLength="+repStr.length()+"\tVal="+repStr);

    //Here comes the Magic with a StringBuilder as Input, as you can append to the String-Builder
    //and at the same Time your Repeating-Sequence's toString()-Method returns the updated String :)
    input.append("ff");
    System.out.println(repSeq);
    //Same can be done with the Separator:
    separator.append("===").append('>');
    System.out.println(repSeq);
}

示例输出:

Repeat=2    Separator=<=    Input=123   Length=3
CharSeq:    Length=8    Val=123<=123
String :    Length=8    Val=123<=123
123ff<=123ff
123ff<====>123ff

这里有一种只使用标准String函数而没有显式循环的方法:

// create a string made up of  n  copies of  s
repeated = String.format(String.format("%%%ds", n), " ").replace(" ",s);
