Method to concatenate 2 Strings in Java
- by GooF
I have a method in Java that concatenates 2 Strings. It currently works correctly, but I think it can be written better.
public static String concat(String str1, String str2) {
String rVal = null;
if (str1 != null || str2 != null) {
rVal = "";
if (str1 != null) {
rVal += str1;
}
if (str2 != null) {
rVal += str2;
}
}
return rVal;
}
Here are some of the requirements:
If both str1 and str2 are null, the method returns null
If either str1 or str2 is null, it will just return the not null String
If str1 and str2 are not null, it will concatenate them
It never adds "null" to the result
Can anyone do this with less code?
