Java Function Analysis
- by khan
Okay..I am a total Python guy and have very rarely worked with Java and its methods. The condition is that I have a got a Java function that I have to explain to my instructor and I have got no clue about how to do so..so if one of you can read this properly, kindly help me out in breaking it down and explaining it. Also, i need to find out any flaw in its operation (i.e. usage of loops, etc.) if there is any. Finally, what is the difference between 'string' and 'string[]' types?
public static void search(String findfrom, String[] thething){
if(thething.length > 5){
System.err.println("The thing is quite long");
}
else{
int[] rescount = new int[thething.length];
for(int i = 0; i < thething.length; i++){
String[] characs = findfrom.split("[ \"\'\t\n\b\f\r]", 0);
for(int j = 0; j < characs.length; j++){
if(characs[j].compareTo(thething[i]) == 0){
rescount[i]++;
}
}
}
for (int j = 0; j < thething.length; j++) {
System.out.println(thething[j] + ": " + rescount[j]);
}
}
}
