public final class Integer
extends Object

The Integer class wraps a value of the primitive type int in an object. An object of type Integer contains a single field whose type is int.

In addition, this class provides several methods for converting an int to a String and a String to an int, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with an int.

parseInt

public static int parseInt(String s)
                    throws NumberFormatException

Parses the string argument as a signed decimal integer. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits, except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002d') to indicate a negative value. The resulting integer value is returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the parseInt(java.lang.String, int) method.

Parameters:

s - a string.

Returns:

the integer represented by the argument in decimal.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable integer.

parseInt

public static int parseInt(String s,
                           int radix)
                    throws NumberFormatException

Parses the string argument as a signed integer in the radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the string must all be digits of the specified radix (as determined by whether Character.digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002d') to indicate a negative value. The resulting integer value is returned.

An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

• The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
• The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
• Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus sign '-' ('\u002d') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
• The integer value represented by the string is not a value of type int.

Examples:

 parseInt("0", 10) returns 0
 parseInt("473", 10) returns 473
 parseInt("-0", 10) returns 0
 parseInt("-FF", 16) returns -255
 parseInt("1100110", 2) returns 102
 parseInt("2147483647", 10) returns 2147483647

Parameters:

s - the String containing the integer.

radix - the radix to be used.

Returns:

the integer represented by the string argument in the specified radix.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable integer.

shortValue

public short shortValue()

Returns the value of this Integer as a short.

Returns:

the value of this Integer as a short.

Since:

JDK1.1

toBinaryString

public static String toBinaryString(int i)

Creates a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 2.

The unsigned integer value is the argument plus 2³²if the argument is negative; otherwise it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in binary (base 2) with no extra leading 0s. If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The characters '0' ('\u0030') and '1' ('\u0031') are used as binary digits.

Parameters:

i - an integer.

Returns:

the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in binary (base 2).

Since:

JDK1.0.2

toHexString

public static String toHexString(int i)

Creates a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 16.

The unsigned integer value is the argument plus 2³² if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in hexadecimal (base 16) with no extra leading 0s. If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The following characters are used as hexadecimal digits:

 0123456789abcdef
 

These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0039' and 'u\0039' through '\u0066'.

Parameters:

i - an integer.

Returns:

the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16).

Since:

JDK1.0.2

toOctalString

public static String toOctalString(int i)

Creates a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 8.

The unsigned integer value is the argument plus 2³² if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in octal (base 8) with no extra leading 0s.

If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The octal digits are:

 01234567
 

These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0037'.

Parameters:

i - an integer

Returns:

the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in octal (base 8).

Since:

JDK1.0.2

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String object representing this Integer's value. The value is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the integer value were given as an argument to the toString(int) method.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the value of this object in base 10.

toString

public static String toString(int i)

Returns a new String object representing the specified integer. The argument is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the argument and radix 10 were given as arguments to the toString(int, int) method.

Parameters:

i - an integer to be converted.

Returns:

a string representation of the argument in base 10.

toString

public static String toString(int i,
                              int radix)

Creates a string representation of the first argument in the radix specified by the second argument.

If the radix is smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX, then the radix 10 is used instead.

If the first argument is negative, the first element of the result is the ASCII minus character '-' ('\u002d'). If the first argument is not negative, no sign character appears in the result.

The remaining characters of the result represent the magnitude of the first argument. If the magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the magnitude will not be the zero character. The following ASCII characters are used as digits:

   0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
 

These are '\u0030' through '\u0039' and '\u0061' through '\u007a'. If the radix is N, then the first N of these characters are used as radix-N digits in the order shown. Thus, the digits for hexadecimal (radix 16) are

 0123456789abcdef.
 

Parameters:

i - an integer.

radix - the radix.

Returns:

a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

Character.MAX_RADIX, Character.MIN_RADIX

valueOf

public static Integer valueOf(String s)
                       throws NumberFormatException

Returns a new Integer object initialized to the value of the specified String. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal integer, exactly as if the argument were given to the parseInt(java.lang.String) method. The result is an Integer object that represents the integer value specified by the string.

In other words, this method returns an Integer object equal to the value of:

 new Integer(Integer.parseInt(s))
 

Parameters:

s - the string to be parsed.

Returns:

a newly constructed Integer initialized to the value represented by the string argument.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the string cannot be parsed as an integer.

valueOf

public static Integer valueOf(String s,
                              int radix)
                       throws NumberFormatException

Returns a new Integer object initialized to the value of the specified String. The first argument is interpreted as representing a signed integer in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the arguments were given to the parseInt(java.lang.String, int) method. The result is an Integer object that represents the integer value specified by the string.

In other words, this method returns an Integer object equal to the value of:

 new Integer(Integer.parseInt(s, radix))
 

Parameters:

s - the string to be parsed.

radix - the radix of the integer represented by string s

Returns:

a newly constructed Integer initialized to the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the String cannot be parsed as an int.
