The calling of arrays in Java is by default called by address: in the main method, an array is passed to a method, and a certain value of the array is modified in the method; when you return to the main method, you will find that the array has changed;
Test code:
public class ArrayTest { public static void main(String[] args){ Map[] maparray=new Map[3]; for (int i = 0; i < maparray.length; i++) { Map<String,String> map=new HashMap<String,String>(); map.put("a", i+"_ajkcz"); map.put("c", "werq_"+i); maparray[i]=map; } System.out.println("++++++++++++++++++++++++"); for (int i = 0; i < maparray.length; i++) { Map<String,String> map=maparray[i]; Iterator it=map.keySet().iterator(); while(it.hasNext()){ String key=(String) it.next(); System.out.println(key+"\t"+map.get(key) ); } } System.out.println("++++++++++++++++++++++++"); new ArrayCharge().printAndChangeArray(maparray); System.out.println("++++++++++++++++++++++++"); for (int i = 0; i < maparray.length; i++) { Map<String,String> map=maparray[i]; Iterator it=map.keySet().iterator(); while(it.hasNext()){ String key=(String) it.next(); System.out.println(key+"\t"+map.get(key) ); } } } } class ArrayCharge { public void printAndChangeArray(Map[] maparray){ for (int i = 0; i < maparray.length; i++) { Map<String,String> map=maparray[i]; map.put("a",i+"________"); } for (int i = 0; i < maparray.length; i++) { Map<String,String> map=maparray[i]; Iterator it=map.keySet().iterator(); while(it.hasNext()){ String key=(String) it.next(); System.out.println(key+"\t"+map.get(key) ); } } } } 控制台输出结果: ++++++++++++++++++++++++ cwerq_0 a0_ajkcz cwerq_1 a1_ajkcz cwerq_2 a2_ajkcz ++++++++++++++++++++++++ cwerq_0 a0________ cwerq_1 a1________ cwerq_2 a2________ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ cwerq_0 a0________ cwerq_1 a1________ cwerq_2 a2________
In php, array calls are by value by default. Modifying the array in the submethod cannot be detected in the parent method
Test code:
<?php $arraytest=array(); for($i=0;$i<3;$i++){ $child=array(); $child['keystr']='key'.$i; $child['valuestr']='value'.$i; $arraytest[]=$child; } print_r($arraytest); print_r("+++++++++++++++++++++++++"); for($i=0;$i<count($arraytest);$i++){ $child=$arraytest[$i]; $child['valuestr']="_________".$i; } print_r($arraytest); print_r("+++++++++++++++++++++++++"); ?>
Console output:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [keystr] => key0 [valuestr] => value0 ) [1] => Array ( [keystr] => key1 [valuestr] => value1 ) [2] => Array ( [keystr] => key2 [valuestr] => value2 ) ) +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Array ( [0] => Array ( [keystr] => key0 [valuestr] => value0 ) [1] => Array ( [keystr] => key1 [valuestr] => value1 ) [2] => Array ( [keystr] => key2 [valuestr] => value2 ) ) +++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you want to be able to pass array parameters to the word method in PHP similarly to Java, and the array in the parent method will also change after the word method is processed, you need to pass the value instead of the value when passing the parameter. pointer, for example, the value of p is 100, that is, $p=100; when passing p to the word method, the parameter that needs to be passed is "&$p"
Test code:
<?php $arraytest=array(); for($i=0;$i<3;$i++){ $child=array(); $child['keystr']='key'.$i; $child['valuestr']='value'.$i; $arraytest[]=$child; } print_r($arraytest); print_r("+++++++++++++++++++++++++"); for($i=0;$i<count($arraytest);$i++){ $child=&$arraytest[$i]; //注意这里加了一个指针符号,代表是传址调用 $child['valuestr']="_________".$i; } print_r($arraytest); print_r("+++++++++++++++++++++++++"); ?>
Console output :
Array ( [0] => Array ( [keystr] => key0 [valuestr] => value0 ) [1] => Array ( [keystr] => key1 [valuestr] => value1 ) [2] => Array ( [keystr] => key2 [valuestr] => value2 ) ) +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Array ( [0] => Array ( [keystr] => key0 [valuestr] => _________0 ) [1] => Array ( [keystr] => key1 [valuestr] => _________1 ) [2] => Array ( [keystr] => key2 [valuestr] => _________2 ) )
