public final class Integer
extends Number
implements Comparable < Integer >

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.

Implementation note: The implementations of the "bit twiddling" methods (such as @link{#highestOneBit(int)} and @link{#numberOfTrailingZeros(int)}) are based on material from Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s Hacker's Delight , (Addison Wesley, 2002).

Method Detail

toString


public static String toString(int i,
                              int radix)
Returns 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 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. If uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result: 
 Integer.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()

Parameters:
i - an integer to be converted to a string.
radix - the radix to use in the string representation.
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)
Returns a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 16.

The unsigned integer value is the argument plus 2 32 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 '\u0061' through '\u0066'. If uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result: 
 Integer.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()

Parameters:
i - an integer to be converted to a string.
Returns:
the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16).
Since:
JDK1.0.2

public static String toOctalString(int i)
Returns a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 8.

The unsigned integer value is the argument plus 2 32 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 following characters are used as octal digits: 

 01234567
These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0037'.

Parameters:
i - an integer to be converted to a string.
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)
Returns a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 2.

The unsigned integer value is the argument plus 2 32 if 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 to be converted to a string.
Returns:
the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in binary (base 2).

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, if the specified name is empty or null, 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)

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.

The second argument is the default value. An Integer object that represents the value of the second argument is returned if there is no property of the specified name, if the property does not have the correct numeric format, or if the specified name is empty or null.

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.

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, as per the Integer.decode method, and an Integer object representing this value is returned.

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

Parameters:

-
DecimalNumeral , HexDigits , and OctalDigits are defined in §3.10.1 of the Java Language Specification .

The sequence of characters following an (optional) negative sign and/or radix specifier ("0x", "0X", "#", or leading zero) is parsed as by the Integer.parseInt method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or 8). This sequence of characters must represent a positive value or a NumberFormatException will be thrown. The result is negated if first character of the specified String is the minus sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the String.
