I am getting mad, i need to create a token using this operator
PHP
a = "hello";
b = "world";
token = a | b;
well i need create the same in java [android] but i ever get error.
I alredy try to:
- cast the 2 strings to long but obvisuly i get an error on casting
- cast the 2 string in BitSet
- cast the 2 strings in Bit Array
but the final result was ever an error.
Someone can suggest me some tips please ?
I assume that you want to perform a bitwise operation on strings(which performs a bitwise operation on ASCII values of characters of these string in PHP). There is no such operator for String in Java, but you can do it using BitSet:
public String or(String a, String b) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
final String charsetName = "US-ASCII";
BitSet aBitSet = BitSet.valueOf(a.getBytes(charsetName));
aBitSet.or(BitSet.valueOf(b.getBytes(charsetName)));
return new String(aBitSet.toByteArray(), Charset.forName(charsetName));
}
As Sotirios said, you are probably(?) trying to concatenate strings. If that's the case, then String token=a+b; should do the job. Again, it's unclear what you ask.. You might want to take a look at the String documentation.
