更新java.sql.Timestamp

Question

我想用其他方法更新java.sql.Timestamp。但在main方法中没有更新。为什么？这是通过价值或参考传递？

package test; 

import java.sql.Timestamp; 
import java.util.Date; 

public class Test { 

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { 
     Timestamp a = null; 
     Date now = new Date(); 
     Timestamp b = new Timestamp(now.getTime()); 

     update(a, b); 
     System.out.println(a); // returns "null", why? 
    } 

    /** 
    * Sets the newer timestamp to the old if it is possible. 
    * @param a an old timestamp 
    * @param b a new timestamp 
    */ 
    private static void update(Timestamp a, Timestamp b) { 
     if(b == null) { 
      //nothing 
     } else if(a == null) { 
      a = b; 
     } else if(a.after(b)) { 
      a = b; 
     } 
    } 
}

Java使用CallByValue。这意味着价值被转移到方法而不是对象的引用。所以一个只会改变你的功能。

如果您想在`main函数中更改它，您必须通过返回值将其返回。

package test; 

import java.sql.Timestamp; 
import java.util.Date; 

public class Test { 

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { 
     Timestamp a = null; 
     Date now = new Date(); 
     Timestamp b = new Timestamp(now.getTime()); 

     a = update(a, b); 
     System.out.println(a); // returns "null", why? 
    } 

    /** 
    * Sets the newer timestamp to the old if it is possible. 
    * @param a an old timestamp 
    * @param b a new timestamp 
    */ 
    private static Timestamp update(Timestamp a, Timestamp b) { 
     if(b == null) { 
      //nothing 
     } else if(a == null) { 
      a = b; 
     } else if(a.after(b)) { 
      a = b; 
     } 

     return a; 
    } 
}
