Method Detail

getCharacters

public static char[] getCharacters(String s)

Return the character array corresponding to the String without copying it. This method, unlike the toCharArray method of String, uses no memory. This method should be used with care as it is non-standard and allows the contents of a String to be overwritten. Use in user programs will make the programs non-standard and non-portable.

Parameters:

s - the String whose characters are required

Returns:

the character array (uncopied)
