parseInt(java.lang.String, int)
Method Detail

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 digets in the order shown. Thus, the digits for hexadecimal (radix 16) are 0123456789abcdef. If uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:
 Integer.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()
 
Parameters:
i - an integer.
radix - the radix.
Returns:
a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.
See Also:
Character.MAX_RADIX, Character.MIN_RADIX

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'. If the uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:
 Long.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()
 
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

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

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.

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:

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
 parseInt("-2147483648", 10) returns -2147483648
 parseInt("2147483648", 10) throws a NumberFormatException
 parseInt("99", 8) throws a NumberFormatException
 parseInt("Kona", 10) throws a NumberFormatException
 parseInt("Kona", 27) returns 411787

getInteger

public static Integer getInteger(String nm)
Determines the integer value of the system property with the specified name.

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through the System.getProperty(java.lang.String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as an integer value and an Integer object representing this value is returned. Details of possible numeric formats can be found with the definition of getProperty.

If there is no property with the specified name, or if the property does not have the correct numeric format, then null is returned. In other words, this method returns an Integer object equal to the value of:

 getInteger(nm, null)
 
Parameters:
nm - property name.
Returns:
the Integer value of the property.
See Also:
System.getProperty(java.lang.String), System.getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

getInteger

public static Integer getInteger(String nm,
                                 int val)
Determines the integer value of the system property with the specified name.

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through getProperty, a method defined by the System class. The string value of this property is then interpreted as an integer value and an Integer object representing this value is returned. Details of possible numeric formats can be found with the definition of getProperty.

If there is no property with the specified name, or if the property does not have the correct numeric format, then an Integer object that represents the value of the second argument is returned.

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

 getInteger(nm, new Integer(val))
 
but in practice it may be implemented in a manner such as:
 Integer result = getInteger(nm, null);
 return (result == null) ? new Integer(val) : result;
 
to avoid the unnecessary allocation of an Integer object when the default value is not needed.
Parameters:
nm - property name.
val - default value.
Returns:
the Integer value of the property.
See Also:
System.getProperty(java.lang.String), System.getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

getInteger

public static Integer getInteger(String nm,
                                 Integer val)
Returns the integer value of the system property with the specified name. The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through getProperty, a method defined by the System class. The string value of this property is then interpreted as an integer value, as per the Integer.decode method, and an Integer object representing this value is returned.

The second argument is the default value. If there is no property of the specified name, or if the property does not have the correct numeric format, then the second argument is returned.

Parameters:
nm - property name.
val - default value.
Returns:
the Integer value of the property.

decode

public static Integer decode(String nm)
                      throws NumberFormatException
Decodes a String into an Integer. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers, in the following formats:
     [-]    
     [-] 0x     
     [-] #      
     [-] 0    
 
The constant following an (optional) negative sign and/or "radix specifier" is parsed as by the Integer.parseInt method with the specified radix (10, 8 or 16). This constant must be positive or a NumberFormatException will result. The result is made negative if first character of the specified String is the negative sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the String.
Parameters:
nm - the String to decode.
Returns:
the Integer represented by the specified string.
Throws:
NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain a parsable integer.

Since:
JDK1.2

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)
Compares this Integer to another Object. If the Object is a Integer, this function behaves like compareTo(Integer). Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException (as Integers are comparable only to other Integers).
Specified by:
compareTo in interface Comparable
Parameters:
o - the Object to be compared.
Returns:
the value 0 if the argument is a Integer numerically equal to this Integer; a value less than 0 if the argument is a Integer numerically greater than this Integer; and a value greater than 0 if the argument is a Integer numerically less than this Integer.
