注:参考了JIT(java in thinking),示例都是那里面的。 1、在一个类中,this可以表示该类的当前实例;例如: public class Leaf { private int i = 0; Leaf increment() { i++; return this; } void print() { System.out.println("i = " + i); } public static void main(String[] args) { Leaf x = new Leaf(); x.increment().increment().increment().print(); } } ///:~ 2、若为一个类写了多个构造器,那么经常都需要在一个构造器里调用另一个构造器,以避免写重复的代码。这时可以使用this,例如: //: Flower.java // Calling constructors with "this"
public class Flower { private int petalCount = 0; private String s = new String("null"); Flower(int petals) { petalCount = petals; System.out.println( "Constructor w/ int arg only, petalCount= " + petalCount); } Flower(String ss) { System.out.println( "Constructor w/ String arg only, s=" + ss); s = ss; } Flower(String s, int petals) { this(petals); //! this(s); // Can't call two! this.s = s; // Another use of "this" System.out.println("String & int args"); } Flower() { this("hi", 47); System.out.println( "default constructor (no args)"); } void print() { //! this(11); // Not inside non-constructor! System.out.println( "petalCount = " + petalCount + " s = "+ s); } public static void main(String[] args) { Flower x = new Flower(); x.print(); } } ///:~
而需要注意的是:在一个类A的内部类B中使用this它表示的并非是A.B的当前实例,而是A的当前实例;
