多项式的toString方法

Question

这是一个toString方法，用于格式化多项式的项并将它们添加到String中。它的最终输出类似于“+ 2x ^ 2 + 2x + 1”我将如何去除第一个加号？感谢

//toString method for returning ReesePolynomials in polynomaial format(for ReeseClient)
       public String toString()
       {
          String output = "";
          //the following are situations for formatting the output of each term and adding them to String output
          for (int i = 0; i < TermLength; i++)  // For the number of terms stated by the user earlier, values will be given for each ReeseTerm in the poly array
             {  
                if (poly[i].getExpo() == 0 && poly[i].getCoeff() > 0)       
                {
                   output += " + " + poly[i].getCoeff();
                }

                else if (poly[i].getExpo() == 0 && poly[i].getCoeff() < 0)
                {
                   output += " " + poly[i].getCoeff();
                }

                else if (poly[i].getCoeff() == 1 && (poly[i].getExpo() != 0 && poly[i].getExpo() != 1))
                {
                   output += " + x^" + poly[i].getExpo();   
                }

                else if (poly[i].getCoeff() == 1 && (poly[i].getExpo() == 1))
                {
                   output += " + x";    
                }

                else if (poly[i].getExpo() == 1 && poly[i].getCoeff() > 0)
                {
                   output += " + " + poly[i].getCoeff() + "x";
                }

                else if (poly[i].getExpo() == 1 && poly[i].getCoeff() < 0)
                {
                   output += " " + poly[i].getCoeff() + "x";
                }

                else if (poly[i].getCoeff() < 0 && (poly[i].getExpo() > 1 || poly[i].getExpo() < -1))
                {
                   output += " " + poly[i].getCoeff() + "x^" + poly[i].getExpo();
                }

                else if (poly[i].getCoeff() == 0)
                {}

                else
                {
                   output += " + " + poly[i].getCoeff() + "x^" + poly[i].getExpo();
                }

             }

       return output;       // the final string output is returned to be printed when called upon in main
       }

Answer 1

在return语句之前，使用substring方法：

output = output.substring(2);

这将为您提供从索引2到结尾的所有字符。 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

您遇到的问题通常称为fencepost问题，或称为off-by-one错误。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

Answer 2

尝试
output = output.subString(2);
return output;
