Метод getCountriesFoundedBetween()
может быть реализован по-другому, без необходимости использования вложенных циклов, как показано ниже.
private static String[] getCountriesFoundedBetween(int min, int max) {
if (max < min) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("'max' less than 'min'");
}
String[] countriesFoundedBetween;
int countriesMatched = 0;
int[] indexes = new int[biggestCountries.length];
if (biggestCountries != null && biggestCountries.length > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < biggestCountries.length; i++) {
if(countryData[i][COUNTRY_AGE_FOUNDED] >= min &&
countryData[i][COUNTRY_AGE_FOUNDED] <= max) {
indexes[countriesMatched++] = i;
}
}
countriesFoundedBetween = new String[countriesMatched];
for (int i = 0; i < countriesMatched; i++) {
countriesFoundedBetween[i] = biggestCountries[indexes[i]][COUNTRY_NAME];
}
}
else {
countriesFoundedBetween = new String[0];
}
return countriesFoundedBetween;
}
Приведенный выше код также возвращает пустой массив, а не null, что предпочтительнее для методов, возвращающих массивы.
Вот полный пример использования населения для определения крупнейших стран.
public class Countrys {
private static final int CHINA = 0;

private static final int NIGERIA = 6;
private static final int BANGLADESH = 7;
private static final int RUSSIA = 8;
private static final int MEXICO = 9;
private static final int COUNTRY_NAME = 0;
private static final int COUNTRY_CONTINENT = 1;
private static final int COUNTRY_POPULATION = 0;
private static final int COUNTRY_AGE_FOUNDED = 1;
private static int[][] countryData = new int[][]{{1_427_647_786, 1949},
{1_352_642_280, 1950},
{ 328_239_523, 1776},

{ 128_932_753, 1810}};
private static String[][] biggestCountries = new String[][]{{"China" , "Asia"},
{"India" , "Asia"},
{"U.S.A." , "North America"},
{"Indonesia" , "Asia"},
{"Pakistan" , "Asia"},
{"Brazil" , "South America"},
{"Nigeria" , "Africa"},
{"Bangladesh", "Asia"},
{"Russia" , "Europe"},
{"Mexico" , "North America"}};
private static String[] getCountriesFoundedBetween(int min, int max) {
if (max < min) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("'max' less than 'min'");
}
String[] countriesFoundedBetween;
int countriesMatched = 0;
int[] indexes = new int[biggestCountries.length];
if (biggestCountries != null && biggestCountries.length > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < biggestCountries.length; i++) {
if(countryData[i][COUNTRY_AGE_FOUNDED] >= min &&
countryData[i][COUNTRY_AGE_FOUNDED] <= max) {
indexes[countriesMatched++] = i;
}
}
countriesFoundedBetween = new String[countriesMatched];
for (int i = 0; i < countriesMatched; i++) {
countriesFoundedBetween[i] = biggestCountries[indexes[i]][COUNTRY_NAME];
}
}
else {
countriesFoundedBetween = new String[0];
}
return countriesFoundedBetween;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] result = getCountriesFoundedBetween(1950, 1980);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(result));
}
}
Выполнение приведенного выше кода дает следующий результат:
[India, Nigeria, Bangladesh]
