I neeed help with development! (Strings)

Hello there! I have wonderer a while now how to make strings in bukkit. What i mean by that is if i type (Example: /setmessage 1 Hello There Everyone!

And it says that message when someone does /showmessage 1)



I mean i wonder how to set things without configs!


Hope you understand!

Thanks for a reply!

PHP:

if (args.length > 1) {
  StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
  for (int i = 1; i < args.length; i++) {
    strBuilder.append(args[i]);
    strBuilder.append(" ");
  }
  String message = strBuilder.toString();
  Bukkit.broadcastMessage(message);
  }

You'd add checks before that for the label and such, but, if all of that was added and I'd do for example hi im a message it would broadcast "im a message".

JVM build appenders on its own, you can STRING + STRING

 

If you use String concatenation in a loop (something like:

Code:

String s ="";
for(int i =0; i <100; i++)
{
    s +=", "+ i;
}

then you should use a StringBuilder (not StringBuffer) instead of a String, because it is much faster and consumes less memory.
If you have a single statement:

Code:

String s ="1, "+"2, "+"3, "+"4, "....;

then you can use Strings, because the compiler will use StringBuilder automatically

 

much faster and consume less memory to use char[] directly (as you may know String is wrapper over char[])

 

The amount of conversion and work into passing char/byte arrays into string constructors and accounting for encoding is more work than necessary compared to StringBuilders/appending. The only reason to store text in a primitive data array would be for temporarily storing things like password text to protect from core dumping exposure.
