      • upperCaseFirstChar

        public static final String upperCaseFirstChar​(String s)
        Ensures that the first character of the passed String is in upper case.

        If the passed String is null, has a length of 0 or already has an upper case first character, it is returned. Otherwise, the first character of the passed String is transformed to upper case and concatenated with the rest of the passed String into a new String instance.

        Parameters:
        s - the String for which the first character shall be ensured to be upper case.
        Returns:
        a string equalling s with its first character being guaranteed to be upper case.

                                         int length)
        This method rebuilds the String hashing algorithm as the JDK guys forgot as usual to make their stuff professionally modular.

        Returns a hash code for the passed character range. The hash code is computed as

         s[0]*31^(n - 1) + s[1]*31^(n-2) + ... + s[n - 1]
         
        using int arithmetic, where s[i] is the ith character counted from the given offset, n is the length and ^ indicates exponentiation. The hash value of an empty range is zero.
        Returns:
        a hash code value for this object.

        Specialcase higher performance implementation of decimal integer literal parsing. Because as usual, the JDK implementation strategies are not acceptable when dealing with non-trivial amounts of data. Properly executed performance tests (large loop sizes, averages, nanosecond precision, etc.) showed that this algorithms is more than twice as fast as the one used in JDK (average of ~33µs vs ~75µs for long literals on same machine with measuring overhead of ~1.5µs)
        Parameters:
        input -
        offset -
        length -

      • systemString

        public static String systemString​(Object instance)
        Utility method that replicates the JVM's intrinsic system string as defined in Object.toString(). (It's funny how much functionality is missing in the JDK API).
        Parameters:
        instance - the instance whose system string shall be generated.
        Returns:
        the system string for the passed instance.
      • nonNullString

        public static String nonNullString​(Object object)
      • valueString

        public static String valueString​(Object value)
        Returns value.toString() if the passed value is not null, otherwise null.

        Note that this is a different behavior than String.valueOf(Object) has, as the latter returns the string "null" for a passed null reference. The latter is merely an output helper method, albeit clumsily named and placed as if it were a general utility method. THIS method here is the far more useful general utility method.

        The behavior of this method is needed for example for converting values in a generic data structure (e.g. a Object[] array) to string values but have the actual values, including null(information about a missing value), maintained.

        Parameters:
        value - the value to be projected to its string representation if not null.
        Returns:
        a string representation of an actual passed value or a transient null.
