Hello all.
Sorry if I'm posting this to the wrong list.
I have a feature ask for Java.
Please add support for the default values in constructor/method parameters.
Something like this:
class MyClass {
MyClass(int param1 = 0, String param2 = "Java", boolean param3 = false) {
...
}
}
So all the following usages would be valid:
new MyClass(100,"Java is cool",true);
new MyClass(100,"Java is cool");
new MyClass(100);
new MyClass();
I have downloaded the most recent version of JDK, and this example gives me a
compile error. So I have to write 3 or 4 versions of the constructor with
different signatures. This makes code hard to understand.
I have switched to Java after PHP, and it's very annoying that such a nice
language still lacks this very efficient and useful feature.
Thanks,
W
