Constructor Detail

Integer

public Integer(int value)

Create an Integer object representing the value of the int argument.

Parameters:

value - the value to use

Integer

public Integer(String s)

Create an Integer object representing the value of the argument after conversion to an int.

Parameters:

s - the string to convert

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain an int

See Also:

valueOf(String)

Method Detail

toString

public static String toString(int num,
                              int radix)

Converts the int to a String using the specified radix (base). If the radix exceeds Character.MIN_RADIX or Character.MAX_RADIX, 10 is used instead. If the result is negative, the leading character is '-' ('\\u002D'). The remaining characters come from Character.forDigit(digit, radix) ('0'-'9','a'-'z').

Parameters:

num - the int to convert to String

radix - the radix (base) to use in the conversion

Returns:

the String representation of the argument

toHexString

public static String toHexString(int i)

Converts the int to a String assuming it is unsigned in base 16.

Parameters:

i - the int to convert to String

Returns:

the String representation of the argument

toOctalString

public static String toOctalString(int i)

Converts the int to a String assuming it is unsigned in base 8.

Parameters:

i - the int to convert to String

Returns:

the String representation of the argument

toBinaryString

public static String toBinaryString(int i)

Converts the int to a String assuming it is unsigned in base 2.

Parameters:

i - the int to convert to String

Returns:

the String representation of the argument

toString

public static String toString(int i)

Converts the int to a String and assumes a radix of 10.

Parameters:

i - the int to convert to String

Returns:

the String representation of the argument

See Also:

toString(int, int)

parseInt

public static int parseInt(String str,
                           int radix)

Converts the specified String into an int using the specified radix (base). The string must not be null or empty. It may begin with an optional '-', which will negate the answer, provided that there are also valid digits. Each digit is parsed as if by Character.digit(d, radix), and must be in the range 0 to radix - 1. Finally, the result must be within MIN_VALUE to MAX_VALUE, inclusive. Unlike Double.parseDouble, you may not have a leading '+'.

Parameters:

radix - the radix (base) to use in the conversion

Returns:

the String argument converted to int

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as an int

parseInt

public static int parseInt(String s)

Converts the specified String into an int. This function assumes a radix of 10.

Parameters:

s - the String to convert

Returns:

the int value of s

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as an int

See Also:

parseInt(String, int)

valueOf

public static Integer valueOf(String s,
                              int radix)

Creates a new Integer object using the String and specified radix (base).

Parameters:

s - the String to convert

radix - the radix (base) to convert with

Returns:

the new Integer

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as an int

See Also:

parseInt(String, int)

valueOf

public static Integer valueOf(String s)

Creates a new Integer object using the String, assuming a radix of 10.

decode

public static Integer decode(String str)

Convert the specified String into an Integer. The String may represent decimal, hexadecimal, or octal numbers.

              | # ) HexDigit { HexDigit } )
    | ( [ - ] 0 { OctalDigit } )
 DecimalNumber:
        DecimalDigit except '0' { DecimalDigit }
 DecimalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 10) has value 0 to 9
 OctalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 8) has value 0 to 7
 DecimalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 16) has value 0 to 15
 

Finally, the value must be in the range MIN_VALUE to MAX_VALUE, or an exception is thrown.

NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as a int

NullPointerException - if s is null
