Compareto versus equals performance for strings equality

Hi
Just wanted to know whether compareto and equals method performance for checking whether the two strings are equal or not .
Which one is good with respect to bytecode , speed performance.
Im not asking for the difference, only asking which one is good to use most number of times for comparing two strings for equilaty.
Thanks.

Hi
Ya they are both for different purposes. No doubt.
t which one is faster among the two for string
equality?
compareto or equals.
thanksHis point is that it doesn't matter. You shouldn't worry about optimization for small details like this. Unless you are profiling your code and find a large slowdown with that code, then don't worry about their performance. Use the one that best suits your purpose. If you want to know if they're equal, use equals(), if you want to know their order, use compareTo().

Test string equals syntax in configure.ac

Hi all, I recently started a project that uses autoconf, and many examples around the place use the following syntax for string equality tests:
if test "x$str" = "xyes"; then ...
I was wondering why this is used as opposed to
if test "$str" = "yes"; then ...
which seems a bit more elegant and in plain bash seems to work fine (even with empty strings etc). Anyone know the reason why it is usually done the first way and not the second?

but autoconf was made for POSIX sh (not sure what that supports exactly), and so many developers try to be overly cautious. I know we are not with the linux-only product.s.
it might also be a holdover from people writing tests without the quotes, like if x$var = xyes; then ...
if you write without the x and $var is an empty string, you'll get a syntax error

ORA-01460 at REPLACE for strings longer than 4000 characters

the following code works fine for vVar_Value less than 4001 characters but raises an ORA-01460 for strings equal to or larger than 4001 characters in my environments.
declare
vVar_Value VARCHAR2(32000) := '';
begin
for i in 1..4000 loop
vVar_Value := vVar_Value||'X';
end loop;
dbms_output.Put_Line('length(vVar_Value): '||length(vVar_Value));
SELECT REPLACE( vVar_Value, 'NO_MIDDLE_NAME', '') INTO vVar_Value FROM DUAL;
exception
when others then
raise;
end;
any advice would be most apprectiated.
thanks in advance.

Why the heck are you using select from dual?
Just use vVar_Value := REPLACE( vVar_Value, 'NO_MIDDLE_NAME', ''); and everything will be OK
in SQL limit for varchar2 is 4K, only in PL/SQL you can use 32K

How do you make an object, whose name is equal to a String?

Ok, heres my situation, I have a vector full of strings which i've enumerated.. and i need to create a bunch of JCheckBox's whose names are equal to the strings in the Enumeration..
I tried going:
          Enumeration Type = TypeList.elements();
          while(Type.hasMoreElements()){
               String T = (String)Type.nextElement();
               list.add(new JCheckBox(""+T));
which makes them appear in the GUI, but i dont know how i would then be able to add an actionListener onto that checkbox, or indeed how i would go about accessing any of them when they dont have actual names.
ANy Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yeh.. i dont get this.. I've got them to appear in the JPanel with:
          Enumeration Type = TypeList.elements();
     boxMap = new HashMap();
          while (Type.hasMoreElements()) {
               String T = (String) Type.nextElement();
               JCheckBox b = new JCheckBox(T);
               boxMap.put(T,b);
               list.add(b);
               b.addActionListener(ch);
Thats all well and good, but when i try and see which one has been clicked using a similar fashion:
               if(ae.getSource() instanceof JCheckBox) {          //checkbox
               Enumeration sourceCheck = TypeList.elements();
               System.out.println((JCheckBox)ae.getSource().getAccessibleContext());
          Map SourceMap = new HashMap();
               JCheckBox compare = (JCheckBox) ae.getSource();
          while (sourceCheck.hasMoreElements()) {
               String T = (String) sourceCheck.nextElement();
               System.out.println(T);
               JCheckBox b = new JCheckBox(T);
               SourceMap.put(T,b);
               if(compare == b)
                    System.out.println("Oh My : "+T);
               System.out.println("ZoomJ I have been clicked");
in my action performed method it doesnt seem to be able to compare them.. its definately registering that its been clicked because it prints out the 'ive been clicked ' message, and it prints out all the correct names from the Vector, but it doesn't seem to compare them..

Help with StuckThread in java.lang.String.equals(String.java:619)

I periodically get a stuck Execute thread on my Weblogic 8.15 server
during a call to a Stateless Session Bean. When I do thread dumps, the
thread is always stuck in the same place (in
java.lang.String.equals(String.java:619) or in the call immediately above it
java.util.LinkedList.indexOf(LinkedList.java:397)). Even though the thread
dump indicates that the thread is in a runnable state, if I do multiple
thread dumps over a period of time, the stack trace always indicates that
the thread is in the same place. The thread remains stuck until Weblogic is
restarted. Other client applictions can make session bean calls, but each
stuck thread seems to still take up lots of CPU time. I have let the stuck
threads run overnight, and the stack trace from the thread dump always shows
them executing the same String/LinkedList code. In each case, our code is
trying to iterate over a collection
Does anybody know what could cause this problem, and how to fix it? I get
StuckThreadMaxTime errors in the log:

String equal method Vs Object equal method.

hello, Can anybody explain me difference between equal method in String class and equal method in Object class. We have equal method in object classes. and object class is the super class of all classes, so why we need equal method in String class.

We have equal method in object classes. and object class is the super class of all classes, so why we need equal method in String class.Because "equal" means different things for different objects. For a String, "equal" would mean that both Strings being compared have the exact same characters, in the same sequence. For an Integer, "equals" would mean that both objects have the same integer value.

On String Equality (using ==)

Hello. I am trying to create a program that will merge sentences on their first similar word occurence, i.e.:
Given "good day. i would like to see you at the office"
and "how are you feeling today?"
It will produce "good day. i would like to see you feeling today".
If there are no similar words, the program will just concatenate the Strings.
I tested the examples above and I got "good day. i would like to see you at the office how are you feeling today". Obviously, something's wrong.
So I fiddled around my code putting printlns here and there. Then I found out that my comparison loops doesn't stop. Equality ( == ) always evaluates to false.
On my tester class, I tried the following:
String intro = "good day. i would like to see you at the office";
String outtro = "how are you feeling today?";
String[] fooArray = intro.split(" ");
String[] barArray = intro.split(" ");
String foo = fooArray[7];
String bar = barArray[2];
System.out.println("Is foo equal to bar? " + foo == bar);The abovementioned code returned false.
Then I tried the following
String intro = "good day. i would like to see you at the office";
String outtro = "how are you feeling today?";
String[] fooArray = intro.split(" ");
String[] barArray = intro.split(" ");
String foo = fooArray[7];
String bar = barArray[2];
System.out.println("How about chars? " + foo.charAt(0) == bar.charAt(0));This time around, it returned true.
So I'm guessing that maybe I should just create a function that will loop through the chars of the String and compare them.
However, I am bothered by how Java handled foo == bar . Can someone explain to me why this happened? Is there a workaround to this one or should I always create a function that loops through chars everytime I want to compare Strings?
Thanks!

== compares references for equality. When you want to compare two Object instances for equality you use the equals method. This applies not only to String but any other type of Object..

Why does setSelectedItem perform a simple equality (==) check?

I have a list base component (a TileList) loaded by creating
objects out of a web service response. Now, let's say I have
another web service that periodically refresh the "selected item".
In the response handler of both the services, raw dynamic
objects are converted to strongly typed actionscript classes which
implements the UID interface. I'd like to use setSelectedItem
method on the list to refresh the selected one, but it doesn't
work. Reading the sources, I saw that it performs a standard
equality check (== operator), which means that the very same
instance of an object must be passed in, in order for the
comparison to match.
The result of this is that I must cycle the entire items
collection, perform the comparison by hand, then pass in the
matching instance. I think this is a waste of time and code,
because internally the same cycle will be repeated again.. doesn't
the UID interface exist to avoid this kind of things? Am I missing
something?
Thank you in advance

Sorry but no, the title does not say it all, not by a long shot. You give us absolute nothing on which to base a diagnosis and offer suggestions. If you're having problems importing a CD, post details, including results of the CD/DVD Drive tests from the Diagnostics under the Help menu in iTunes, and perhaps someone can offer suggestions.
If you want to downgrade just look through the forum. Instructions have been posted in a number of threads.

Equal opportunities for all queues

Hi!
My application receives messages from several queues. I use separate MyListener instance for every queue. I synchronized the onMessage method on static Object, so only one message from all queues is processed in given moment:
MyListener implements MessageListener
static Object object;
onMessage (Message message)
synchronized (object)
//process
Do the "synchronized" and "onMessage" promise equal opportunities for all input queues? Can you give a link to relevant documentation?

According to the JMS specification, a session is a single threaded context that shields applications from worrying about thread safety. So if you create all the queue receivers from the same session, you shouldn't need to synchronize onMessage. To promote equal opportunities, you'll want to synchronize as little as possible - but this is really a JMS implementation issue and you'll probably need to experiment a little to find out if any starvation occurs.

Deployment Optimizer - Equal weightage for all the locations in the network

Hello All,
I am having difficulty in assigning equal weightage for all the locations in the deployment network. My scenario is as described below:
Deployment Source location: LOC1
Destination locations: LOC2, LOC3
I am running Heuristics to plan LOC2, LOC3 & LOC1, followed by
a Deployment Optimizer run at LOC1 to deploy to LOC2 & LOC3.
ATD quantity at LOC1 is always calculated after saftisfying the requirements at LOC1 and the remainder is deployed to LOC2 & LOC3 based on the cost settings. This seems to be the case even if I don't run the heuristics at LOC1 and start deployment optimizer after running the heuristics at LOC2 and LOC3.
The need at this client place is that all three locations are equally important even though LOC1 is the only deploying source location.
This applies for all demand categories i.e. Sales orders, Forecast and forecast at all the three locations.
I would appreciate if anybody has done this kind of configuration before and let me know how to model this.
Thanks,
Venkat

Have you follow all this checking ?
If you think that you already follow all the steps, but the value is not as per your config, you can raise ticket to SAP about it.
But I suggest you to double check your computation.
To determine a vendor's price level, the system compares the vendor's effective price with the market price for the material.
   1. The system first checks whether the buyer has maintained a market price for the material or the material group.
   2. If not, the system calculates the market price which is equal to the average of the effective prices for all vendors supplying this material. Prices from purchase orders and prices for subcontracting are dealt with separately.
   3. The system then applies the effective price for the vendor from the conditions.
   4. The vendor's effective price is then compared with the market price and the percentage variance determined.
   5. The system then assigns a score to the variance in accordance with the settings made in Customizing.
   6. This score is valid for the material, that is, at info record level. Since the score the vendor receives for a subcriterion is based not on an individual material, but on the total of all the materials he supplies, the following steps are necessary:
   7. The system repeats the comparison between effective price and market price for each of the vendor's materials.
   8. The system calculates an average from the sum of the scores determined. This average represents the vendor's score for the subcriterion Price Level.

BI analysis authorization- checking for not equal to values

hello,
the info provider (ZIC_COPA) is having auth. relevant char. are 0COMP_CODE, PLANT, 0SALESORG.
When i am executing query which is built on ZIC_COPA info provider. It is checking all above charcteristics value. But in RSECADMIN i found that system is checking for not equal to values. For ex. please see below RSECADMIN trace. It is checking not equal to values for PLANT. does anybody know why it is checking NOT PLANT IN values??
0COMP_CODE
0PLANT
0SALESORG
SQL Format:
COMP_CODE IN ('1000',,'3200')

I just posted something about this too, and while I feel that its wrong to "bump" an old post, this issue has still stayed unresolved and my frustration is peaking. In my thread my problem is i can't even use the KXdrivers on an x64 operating system, so this things an expensi've paper weight. Great.
Creative makes good sound cards, NO DOUBT about that. Their customer service on the other hand however, is absolute trash. I have read that "statement" as well, and it seems an easy way out to just say "yeah we addressed it, so please, shut up about it already". And I agree, it is NOT a fix, for all of us. If one would take the time to read the forum, its not only ABIT motherboards. Even in that one thread, one if the first couple of replies a guy says "but I have a gigabyte motherboard". Surprise surprise, he was ignored by the mod who posted that (she answered some other poster's question with "read the instructions please" .
