// Java 13及之前:Switch语句的繁琐写法
public class SwitchExampleJava13 {

// 1. 基本Switch语句 - 容易遗漏break
public static String getDayName(int day) {
String result;
switch (day) {
case 1:
result = "Monday";
break;
case 2:
result = "Tuesday";
break;
case 3:
result = "Wednesday";
break;
case 4:
result = "Thursday";
break;
case 5:
result = "Friday";
break;
case 6:
result = "Saturday";
break;
case 7:
result = "Sunday";
break;
default:
result = "Invalid day";
break;
}
return result;
}

// 2. Switch在表达式中的使用 - 需要额外的变量
public static String getSeason(int month) {
String season;
switch (month) {
case 12:
case 1:
case 2:
season = "Winter";
break;
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
season = "Spring";
break;
case 6:
case 7:
case 8:
season = "Summer";
break;
case 9:
case 10:
case 11:
season = "Autumn";
break;
default:
season = "Invalid month";
break;
}
return season;
}

// 3. Switch返回值 - 复杂的三元表达式
public static int getDaysInMonth(int month, boolean isLeapYear) {
switch (month) {
case 1: case 3: case 5: case 7: case 8: case 10: case 12:
return 31;
case 4: case 6: case 9: case 11:
return 30;
case 2:
return isLeapYear ? 29 : 28;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid month: " + month);
}
}

// 4. 复杂业务逻辑 - 难以维护
public static String processOrder(OrderStatus status, boolean isVip) {
String result;
switch (status) {
case PENDING:
result = "Order is pending";
break;
case PROCESSING:
result = isVip ? "VIP order processing" : "Order processing";
break;
case COMPLETED:
result = isVip ? "VIP order completed" : "Order completed";
break;
case CANCELLED:
result = "Order cancelled";
break;
default:
result = "Unknown status";
break;
}
return result;
}
}

// Java 14:Switch表达式 - 简洁而强大
public class SwitchExampleJava14 {

// 1. 基本Switch表达式 - 箭头语法
public static String getDayName(int day) {
return switch (day) {
case 1 -> "Monday";
case 2 -> "Tuesday";
case 3 -> "Wednesday";
case 4 -> "Thursday";
case 5 -> "Friday";
case 6 -> "Saturday";
case 7 -> "Sunday";
default -> "Invalid day";
};
}

// 2. 多值case - 更简洁的分组
public static String getSeason(int month) {
return switch (month) {
case 12, 1, 2 -> "Winter";
case 3, 4, 5 -> "Spring";
case 6, 7, 8 -> "Summer";
case 9, 10, 11 -> "Autumn";
default -> "Invalid month";
};
}

// 3. 复杂表达式作为返回值
public static int getDaysInMonth(int month, boolean isLeapYear) {
return switch (month) {
case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 -> 31;
case 4, 6, 9, 11 -> 30;
case 2 -> isLeapYear ? 29 : 28;
default -> throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid month: " + month);
};
}

// 4. 代码块语法 - 处理复杂逻辑
public static String processOrder(OrderStatus status, boolean isVip) {
return switch (status) {
case PENDING -> {
System.out.println("Processing pending order");
yield "Order is pending";
}
case PROCESSING -> {
String prefix = isVip ? "VIP" : "Regular";
yield prefix + " order processing";
}
case COMPLETED -> {
if (isVip) {
System.out.println("VIP order completed with bonus");
yield "VIP order completed with bonus";
} else {
yield "Order completed";
}
}
case CANCELLED -> "Order cancelled";
default -> "Unknown status";
};
}

// 5. 类型模式匹配结合Switch
public static String describeObject(Object obj) {
return switch (obj) {
case String s -> "String: " + s;
case Integer i -> "Integer: " + i;
case Double d -> "Double: " + d;
case List<?> list -> "List with " + list.size() + " elements";
case null -> "Null object";
default -> "Unknown type: " + obj.getClass().getSimpleName();
};
}

// 6. 枚举的Switch表达式
public static String getTrafficLightAction(TrafficLight light) {
return switch (light) {
case RED -> "Stop";
case YELLOW -> "Caution";
case GREEN -> "Go";
};
}

// 7. 模式匹配的卫语句
public static String analyzeNumber(Object num) {
return switch (num) {
case Integer i when i > 100 -> "Large integer: " + i;
case Integer i when i > 10 -> "Medium integer: " + i;
case Integer i -> "Small integer: " + i;
case Double d when d > 100.0 -> "Large double: " + d;
case Double d -> "Double: " + d;
case null -> "Null value";
default -> "Unknown number type";
};
}
}

// 枚举定义
enum OrderStatus {
PENDING, PROCESSING, COMPLETED, CANCELLED
}

enum TrafficLight {
RED, YELLOW, GREEN
}

Switch表达式特性

  • 表达式而非语句:可以返回值
  • 箭头语法:简洁的case分支
  • 多值case:逗号分隔多个值
  • 代码块支持:yield关键字返回值
  • 模式匹配:类型检查与转换一体化
  • 卫语句:when子句添加额外条件

instanceof模式匹配特性

  • 类型检查与转换一体化:无需显式强制转换
  • 作用域限制:变量只在对应的分支中可见
  • 卫语句支持:when子句添加额外条件
  • null友好:可以显式处理null值
  • 类型安全:编译时保证类型正确性

// Java 13:记录类的基本用法
public class RecordsExampleJava13 {

// 1. 简单的数据类
public record Person(String name, int age) {}

// 2. 带验证的记录类
public record Email(String address) {
public Email {
if (address == null || !address.contains("@")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid email: " + address);
}
}
}

// 3. 带方法的记录类
public record Point(int x, int y) {
public double distanceFromOrigin() {
return Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y);
}

public Point move(int dx, int dy) {
return new Point(x + dx, y + dy);
}
}

// 4. 使用记录类
public static void demonstrateRecords() {
Person person = new Person("Alice", 30);
System.out.println("Person: " + person);
System.out.println("Name: " + person.name());
System.out.println("Age: " + person.age());

// Java 14:记录类的进一步改进
public class RecordsExampleJava14 {

// 1. 基本记录类(与Java 13相同)
public record Person(String name, int age) {}

// 2. 泛型记录类
public record Container<T>(T value) {
public boolean isPresent() {
return value != null;
}

public <U> Container<U> map(Function<T, U> mapper) {
return new Container<>(mapper.apply(value));
}
}

// 3. 嵌套记录类
public record Address(String street, String city, String zipCode) {}

public record Company(String name, Address headquarters) {}

public record Employee(String name, int id, Company company) {
// 计算属性
public String getFullAddress() {
return company.headquarters().street() + ", " +
company.headquarters().city() + " " +
company.headquarters().zipCode();
}

// 验证方法
public boolean isValid() {
return name != null && !name.trim().isEmpty() &&
id > 0 && company != null;
}
}

// 4. 记录类继承和接口实现
public interface Identifiable {
long getId();
String getType();
}

public record Product(long id, String name, double price) implements Identifiable {
@Override
public long getId() {
return id;
}

@Override
public String getType() {
return "PRODUCT";
}

// 额外的业务方法
public boolean isExpensive() {
return price > 100.0;
}

public Product withDiscount(double discount) {
return new Product(id, name, price * (1 - discount));
}
}

// 5. 结合模式匹配使用
public static String describeObject(Object obj) {
return switch (obj) {
case Person(var name, var age) -> "Person: " + name + " (" + age + " years old)";
case Address(var street, var city, var zipCode) ->
"Address: " + street + ", " + city + " " + zipCode;
case Employee(var name, var id, var company) ->
"Employee: " + name + " (ID: " + id + ") at " + company.name();
case Container<?>(var value) when value == null -> "Empty container";
case Container<?>(var value) -> "Container with: " + value;
case null -> "Null object";
default -> "Unknown object: " + obj.getClass().getSimpleName();
};
}

// 6. 记录类的序列化
public record UserData(String username, String email, LocalDate birthDate)
implements Serializable {

// 自定义序列化
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

// 验证构造函数
public UserData {
if (username == null || username.trim().isEmpty()) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Username cannot be empty");
}
if (email == null || !email.contains("@")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid email format");
}
if (birthDate != null && birthDate.isAfter(LocalDate.now())) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Birth date cannot be in the future");
}
}

// 计算属性
public int getAge() {
if (birthDate == null) return 0;
return Period.between(birthDate, LocalDate.now()).getYears();
}

// 工厂方法
public static UserData createGuest() {
return new UserData("guest", "guest@example.com", null);
}
}

// 7. 记录类在集合操作中的应用
public static void collectionOperations() {
List<Person> people = List.of(
new Person("Alice", 30),
new Person("Bob", 25),
new Person("Charlie", 35)
);

// 使用记录类的组件
List<String> names = people.stream()
.map(Person::name)
.collect(Collectors.toList());

// 分组统计
Map<Integer, List<Person>> byAge = people.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Person::age));

// 过滤和转换
List<String> adultNames = people.stream()
.filter(person -> person.age() >= 18)
.map(person -> person.name().toUpperCase())
.collect(Collectors.toList());

System.out.println("Names: " + names);
System.out.println("By age: " + byAge);
System.out.println("Adult names: " + adultNames);
}

// 8. 记录类与文本块结合
public static String generateReport(List<Employee> employees) {
StringBuilder report = new StringBuilder();

for (Employee emp : employees) {
report.append("""
Employee Report:
Name: %s
ID: %d
Company: %s
Address: %s

""".formatted(emp.name(), emp.id(),
emp.company().name(), emp.getFullAddress()));
}

return report.toString();
}
}

记录类特性

  • 自动生成方法:构造函数、getter、equals、hashCode、toString
  • 不可变对象:所有字段都是final的
  • 模式匹配友好:天然支持解构
  • 简洁的语法:一行代码定义完整的数据类
  • 类型安全:编译时保证数据完整性

// Switch表达式最佳实践
public class SwitchBestPractices {

// ✅ 推荐:使用箭头语法处理简单case
public static String getSimpleResult(int value) {
return switch (value) {
case 1 -> "One";
case 2 -> "Two";
case 3 -> "Three";
default -> "Other";
};
}

// ✅ 推荐:多值case分组
public static String getSeason(int month) {
return switch (month) {
case 12, 1, 2 -> "Winter";
case 3, 4, 5 -> "Spring";
case 6, 7, 8 -> "Summer";
case 9, 10, 11 -> "Autumn";
default -> throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid month: " + month);
};
}

// ✅ 推荐:复杂逻辑使用代码块
public static String processComplex(int value, boolean flag) {
return switch (value) {
case 1 -> {
System.out.println("Processing case 1");
yield "Result 1";
}
case 2 -> {
if (flag) {
yield "Result 2 with flag";
} else {
yield "Result 2 without flag";
}
}
default -> "Default result";
};
}

// ❌ 避免:过度复杂的Switch表达式
public static String avoidComplexSwitch(Object obj) {
// 不要把所有逻辑都放在switch中
// 对于复杂逻辑,考虑提取方法或使用其他设计模式
return switch (obj) {
case String s when s.length() > 10 && s.contains("special") -> {
// 复杂的处理逻辑...
yield "Complex result";
}
// ... 更多复杂case
default -> "Default";
};
}
}

if (obj instanceof String str) {
return "String: " + str.toUpperCase();
} else if (obj instanceof Integer num) {
return "Integer: " + (num * 2);
} else {
return "Other type";
}
}

// ✅ 推荐:结合Switch使用
public static String processWithSwitch(Object obj) {
return switch (obj) {
case String str when str.isBlank() -> "Empty string";
case String str -> "String: " + str.toUpperCase();
case Integer num when num > 100 -> "Large number: " + num;
case Integer num -> "Number: " + num;
case List<?> list when list.isEmpty() -> "Empty list";
case List<?> list -> "List with " + list.size() + " elements";
case null -> "Null object";
default -> "Unknown type: " + obj.getClass().getSimpleName();
};
}

// ✅ 推荐:卫语句使用
public static String analyzeWithGuards(Object obj) {
return switch (obj) {
case String str when str.length() > 100 -> "Very long string";
case String str when str.length() > 10 -> "Long string";
case String str -> "Normal string";
case Integer num when num > 1000 -> "Very large number";
case Integer num when num > 100 -> "Large number";
case Integer num -> "Normal number";
default -> "Other type";
};
}

// ❌ 避免:过度复杂的卫语句
public static String avoidComplexGuards(Object obj) {
// 卫语句应该保持简单
return switch (obj) {
case String str when isValidEmail(str) && isActiveUser(str) && hasPermission(str) -> {
// 过于复杂的条件判断
yield "Valid user";
}
// ... 更多复杂条件
default -> "Invalid";
};
}

// ✅ 推荐:提取复杂逻辑到方法
public static String extractComplexLogic(Object obj) {
return switch (obj) {
case String str when isValidUser(str) -> "Valid user: " + str;
case String str -> "Invalid user: " + str;
default -> "Not a string";
};
}

public record Email(String address) {
public Email {
if (address == null || !address.contains("@")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid email: " + address);
}
}
}

// ✅ 推荐:带方法的记录类
public record Point(int x, int y) {
public double distance(Point other) {
int dx = x - other.x;
int dy = y - other.y;
return Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);
}

public Point move(int dx, int dy) {
return new Point(x + dx, y + dy);
}
}

public record Container<T>(T value) {
public boolean isPresent() {
return value != null;
}

public <U> Container<U> map(Function<T, U> mapper) {
return new Container<>(mapper.apply(value));
}
}

// ✅ 推荐:记录类组合使用
public record Employee(String name, int id, Department dept) {}

public record Department(String name, Address location) {}

// 使用示例
public static void demonstrateUsage() {
Employee emp = new Employee("Alice", 123,
new Department("Engineering", new Address("123 Main St", "Anytown", "12345")));

System.out.println("Employee: " + emp);
System.out.println("Department: " + emp.dept().name());
System.out.println("Location: " + emp.dept().location().city());
