public String(String original) {
this.value = original.value;
this.hash = original.hash;
}
I dont understand how original is being conver
String
has two properties:
/** The value is used for character storage. */
private final char value[];
/** Cache the hash code for the string */
private int hash; // Default to 0
Because you're inside the constructor of String
, you have access right to its private field value[]
and hash
.
You cann't access those private
fields from outside of String class, hence it will throw a compilation error if you attempt to do it.
