String-Magic Level 1

Der erste Eintrag der lustigen Java-Voodookiste widmet sich ganz einfach mal der wunderbaren Kunst der Stringkonkatenation. Ein wenig Mystery ist auch dabei, ganz bestimmt

<code=java>

       System.out.println("funny concat             : " + 1 + 1); // it's okay if you first think it's 2
       System.out.println("stupid funny concat      : " + + + + + + 1 + + + + 1); // <- yeah! wth?
       System.out.println("stupid funny concat      : " +- + + +- + + -+-1 + + + + -+-1); // <- omg! wtf?!?!?!
       System.out.println("so nice :)               : " + - - - - - - + 1 +- - - -1); // <- omfg!!! wtfh?!???!!!
       //System.out.println("never ever 1st :(        : " ++ 1); // never ever, you cannot do so, never, believe it :)
       //System.out.println("never ever 2nd :(        : " + -- 1); // absolutely no!

</code=java>

Integer-Magic Level 1

Es folgt ein mächtiger Kniff aus der Java-Voodookiste mit anschließendem Brain**** am Ende:

<code=java>

       Integer i0 = 5000;
       Integer i1 = 5000;
       System.out.println(i0 == i1); // ok, we should know this is false, or not? Look at the end ;)
       System.out.println(i0.intValue() == i1.intValue()); // yeah, it's right mister
       // let's try smaller values
       i0 = 127;
       i1 = 127;
       System.out.println(i0.intValue() == i1.intValue()); // yeees sir!
       System.out.println(i0 == i1); // wth?
       i0 = -128;
       i1 = -128;
       System.out.println(i0 == i1); // wtfh?!?!?!
       // try this: give the VM the following VM-Argument -Djava.lang.Integer.IntegerCache.high=5001
       // and things becomes very scary ;)

</code=java>

Byte-Magic Level 1

Zur Abwechslung der Grundkurs Byte-Magic für Level 1 Wizards

<code=java>

       byte b = 1; // ok, it's nice too see
       //byte b = 128; // we know that's not compiling ;)
       //b = b + 127; // hey, we know this too :) it's absolutely safe, ever!
       b += 127; // but wth?
       b ++; // omg!!!
       b ++; // wtf?!?!?
       for(int i = 0; i < 169; i ++) {
           b ++; // yeah!
       }
       b --;
       System.out.println(b); // the solution of the biggest question ever!

       short s = 1;
       s = Short.MAX_VALUE;
       //s = s + 1; // yeah! it's not compiling mister ;)
       s += 1; // ok, we like bytes, we like you too!
       // and so on ... you already know the solution :)

       int i = 1;
       i = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
       i = i + 1; // don't be panic OO
       i = i + 10; // we like byte and short more than other numeric types ;)
       System.out.println(i); // it's something crazy...

       char c = 1;
       c = 65535; // yeah, you know the c64?
       //c = c + 1; // ok char, we like you too ;) don't compile this :)
       c ++;
       c ++;
       System.out.println((char) (c - Short.MAX_VALUE)); // because you're funny as bytes and shorts :)

</code=java>

Write-through-Magic Level 1

Es folgt ein kleiner Ausflug in die Kunst des Durchschreibenden-Voodoozaubers von Ank-Pheng.

<code=java>

       // lets create a simple list
       List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
       list.add("a");
       list.add("b");
       list.add("c");
       String[] array = list.toArray(new String[0]); // create an array from it
       System.out.println("1st list      : " + list); // ok, i know i know!
       System.out.println("1st array-size: " + array.length); // yeah, i expected this ;)
       System.out.println("set 'a' to 'z' in list ..."); // ok chummer!
       list.set(0, "z");
       System.out.println("1st list      : " + list); // where's the trick here?
       System.out.println("1st array[0]  : " + array[0]); // no trick! what you think? We don't summon demons or cast spells here, ever! ever ever!
       // let's create a simple array
       array = new String[]{"a", "b", "c"};
       list = Arrays.asList(array); // create a list from it
       System.out.println("2nd list      : " + list); // ok, i already know it!
       System.out.println("2nd array size: " + array.length); // yessss! what you expect here?
       System.out.println("set first element to 'z' in array ..."); // try it baby! try!
       array[0] = "z";
       System.out.println("2nd array[0]  : " + array[0]); // yeah! i know!!!
       System.out.println("2nd list      : " + list); // omg!!! wtfh?!?!?! i can't believe... 
       // believe the power of write-through magic ;)
