Question

I’ve been looking at this http://blog.javia.org/assembly-java/ and in particular this bit #6: Don’t use String. Use char array instead.
Does anyone have an example of storing and retrieving data in this way?

For example I have arrays like this

int[] myInts = new int[256];
int[] myotherInts = new int[256];
byte[] mybytes = new byte[someLength];

Answer 1

Essentially:

String text = "To be or not to be";

char[] textArray = new char[3];
text.getChars(9, 12, textArray, 0);

So all of your strings are stored in a single array, and then extracted separately using getChars().
