Groovy 中的字符串串联

在 Groovy 中连接 String 的最佳(惯用)方法是什么?

选择1:

calculateAccountNumber(bank, branch, checkDigit, account) {
bank + branch + checkDigit + account
}

选择2:

calculateAccountNumber(bank, branch, checkDigit, account) {
"$bank$branch$checkDigit$account"
}

关于这个话题,我在 Groovy 网站上发现了一个有趣的观点: 你可以做但最好不要做的事情。

和 Java 一样,你可以用“ +”符号连接字符串 只需要“ +”表达式的两个项中的一个是 字符串,不管是最初的还是最后的 将在“ +”的非 String 对象中使用 toString ()方法 但是在 Groovy 中,您只需要保证 您的“ +”表达式以正确的方式实现了 plus ()方法, 因为 Groovy 会搜索并使用它 以及 String/StringBuffer/Property 类具有 plus ()方法 为了避免意外,总是使用 弦乐。

I always go for the second method (using the GString template), though when there are more than a couple of parameters like you have, I tend to wrap them in ${X} as I find it makes it more readable.

Running some benchmarks (using Nagai Masato's excellent GBench module) on these methods also shows templating is faster than the other methods:

@Grab( 'com.googlecode.gbench:gbench:0.3.0-groovy-2.0' )
import gbench.*


def (foo,bar,baz) = [ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ]
new BenchmarkBuilder().run( measureCpuTime:false ) {
// Just add the strings
'String adder' {
foo + bar + baz
}
// Templating
'GString template' {
"$foo$bar$baz"
}
// I find this more readable
'Readable GString template' {
"${foo}${bar}${baz}"
}
// StringBuilder
'StringBuilder' {
new StringBuilder().append( foo )
.append( bar )
.append( baz )
.toString()
}
'StringBuffer' {
new StringBuffer().append( foo )
.append( bar )
.append( baz )
.toString()
}
}.prettyPrint()

That gives me the following output on my machine:

String adder               539
GString template           245
Readable GString template  244
StringBuilder              318
StringBuffer               370

So with readability and speed in it's favour, I'd recommend templating ;-)

NB: If you add toString() to the end of the GString methods to make the output type the same as the other metrics, and make it a fairer test, StringBuilder and StringBuffer beat the GString methods for speed. However as GString can be used in place of String for most things (you just need to exercise caution with Map keys and SQL statements), it can mostly be left without this final conversion

Adding these tests (as it has been asked in the comments)

  'GString template toString' {
"$foo$bar$baz".toString()
}
'Readable GString template toString' {
"${foo}${bar}${baz}".toString()
}

Now we get the results:

String adder                        514
GString template                    267
Readable GString template           269
GString template toString           478
Readable GString template toString  480
StringBuilder                       321
StringBuffer                        369

So as you can see (as I said), it is slower than StringBuilder or StringBuffer, but still a bit faster than adding Strings...

But still lots more readable.

Edit after comment by ruralcoder below

Updated to latest gbench, larger strings for concatenation and a test with a StringBuilder initialised to a good size:

@Grab( 'org.gperfutils:gbench:0.4.2-groovy-2.1' )


def (foo,bar,baz) = [ 'foo' * 50, 'bar' * 50, 'baz' * 50 ]
benchmark {
// Just add the strings
'String adder' {
foo + bar + baz
}
// Templating
'GString template' {
"$foo$bar$baz"
}
// I find this more readable
'Readable GString template' {
"${foo}${bar}${baz}"
}
'GString template toString' {
"$foo$bar$baz".toString()
}
'Readable GString template toString' {
"${foo}${bar}${baz}".toString()
}
// StringBuilder
'StringBuilder' {
new StringBuilder().append( foo )
.append( bar )
.append( baz )
.toString()
}
'StringBuffer' {
new StringBuffer().append( foo )
.append( bar )
.append( baz )
.toString()
}
'StringBuffer with Allocation' {
new StringBuffer( 512 ).append( foo )
.append( bar )
.append( baz )
.toString()
}
}.prettyPrint()

gives

Reproducing tim_yates answer on current hardware and adding leftShift() and concat() method to check the finding:

  'String leftShift' {
foo << bar << baz
}
'String concat' {
foo.concat(bar)
.concat(baz)
.toString()
}

The outcome shows concat() to be the faster solution for a pure String, but if you can handle GString somewhere else, GString template is still ahead, while honorable mention should go to leftShift() (bitwise operator) and StringBuffer() with initial allocation:

Not quite sure why the answer above needs to go into benchmarks, string buffers, tests, etc.
