Почему метод reverse() в классах StringBuffer/StringBuilder использует побитовый оператор?
Я хотел бы узнать о преимуществах этого.
public AbstractStringBuilder reverse() {
boolean hasSurrogate = false;
int n = count - 1;
for (int j = (n-1) >> 1; j >= 0; --j) {
char temp = value[j];
char temp2 = value[n - j];
if (!hasSurrogate) {
hasSurrogate = (temp >= Character.MIN_SURROGATE && temp <= Character.MAX_SURROGATE)
|| (temp2 >= Character.MIN_SURROGATE && temp2 <= Character.MAX_SURROGATE);
}
value[j] = temp2;
value[n - j] = temp;
}
if (hasSurrogate) {
// Reverse back all valid surrogate pairs
for (int i = 0; i < count - 1; i++) {
char c2 = value[i];
if (Character.isLowSurrogate(c2)) {
char c1 = value[i + 1];
if (Character.isHighSurrogate(c1)) {
value[i++] = c1;
value[i] = c2;
}
}
}
}
return this;
}
