Passing arguments in multiple lines

[Nich Aquilina]

Hi,

Is there any way to split code in more than one line? to avoid scrolling? This especiallyin constructor, for example:-

Worker(String name, String firstName, String dateOfBirth, String........)

Thanks
Nich

I am not entirely sure what you mean by this, but if you mean just to avoid horizontal scrolling then why not just put the next param on a new line?

e.g.

public ClassTest(int one, int two, int three,
                     int four) {
 
}

although if you mean knowing that you are going to be receiving multiple params of the same type, i.e. above, and you want to reduce the code, then couldnt you use a varargs e.g.

 
public ClassTest(int...values) {
     for (int i : values) {
        System.out.println(i);
    }
}

Not sure if that is what you wanted but hope it helps,

John

Java doesn't distinguish between new lines and other white space (outside of comments and String literals). That is, everywhere you can use a space character, you can also use a new line. Both of the following code snippets are totally valid Java code:

public void foo(int i1, int i2) {return;}

public
void
foo
(
int
i1
,
int
i2
)
{
return
;
}

Both aren't styles I would recommend, though...

Thanks guys, that was it. Not the extreme one but worked great.

ManualWorker(String familyName,
String firstName,
String dateOfBirth,
String employeeNumber,
String dateOfFirstEmployment,
