I wonder, in general, where the line should be drawn? Java coding
guidelines recommend that 1 and -1 can be used as literals, but other
integer constants should defined as a "constant" by the programmer.
I'm not sure that single character strings, or characters, should be
treated the same way. I can see cases for it, and I can see reasons for
not doing so, as Daniel implies.
Here's a grab from a recent discussion on transforming \u sequences in a
Java string. This is the bit in the Properties object that scans a line
read from a properties file for special escape sequences. I don't think
that the Java source APIs are the be-all and end-all of code style, but
it is a large public body of well-reviewed code. Note the abundant use
of single character constants, with out a programmer introduced
constant. It seems to read OK to me.
while (keyLen < limit) {
c = lr.lineBuf[keyLen];
//need check if escaped.
if ((c == '=' || c == ':') && !precedingBackslash) {
valueStart = keyLen + 1;
hasSep = true;
break;
} else if ((c == ' ' || c == '\t' || c == '\f') &&
!precedingBackslash) {
valueStart = keyLen + 1;
break;
}
if (c == '\\')
precedingBackslash = !precedingBackslash;
else
precedingBackslash = false;
keyLen++;
}
