Integer.parseInt() method

Hi to all
I'm trying to write a piece of a lexical analizer in Java and I need the method the does the contrary of Integer.parseInt() method in order to do the following:
once i have as input an integer and with the Integer.parseInt() method i know it's value I want to count it's digits. I'm sure there is a method that do the contrary of Integer.parseInt() method that I can't remeber.
Thanks for your help
Maddy

Integer.parseInt() takes in a String and returns an int value, so the contrary would take in an int value and return a String. Is this what you want?
You can use Integer.toString()
Also, when you call Integer.parseInt(String s), you should already have the number as a String (the argument).
Maybe I am not understanding the question right. If not, please explain exactly what you need.

  • NetBeans 6.5 - Integer.parseInt(String)

    Hello,
    I'm beginner with NetBeans 6.5.
    I created a simple hello-java application and a simple hello java-web JSF application.
    I have no error with hello-java application for these 2 lines:
    String name = "12345";
    int aInt = Interger.parseInt(name) ;
    but I get exception handler from java-web JSF application as below.
    Hope you help me to solve this, Thanks !

    they're different, i was trying to convert the string entered in a TextField to a number, and thought that I already hard coded '12345' in the code to see whether the parseInt works therefore i didn't enter anything in the TextField.

  • Integer.parseInt problems

    Hi everyone,
    I want to use the Integer.parseInt and Byte.parseByte methods to parse hex strings - the problem is that they don't parse negative 2's complement numbers, they explicitly need a minus sign in front of an otherwise unsigned number to show that it's negative.
    Examples:
    //System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(Integer.toHexString(-1), 16)); //NumberFormatException
    System.out.println(0xffffffff); // but this prints -1
    //System.out.println(Byte.parseByte("ff", 16)); //NumberFormatException
    System.out.println(Byte.parseByte("-1", 16)); // but this worksIs there some other method that will do what I need?
    Regards,
    Jonathan

    Here's a dirty solution:public class Test {
        private static char[] digits = new char[] {
            '0', '1', '2', '3',
            '4', '5', '6', '7',
            '8', '9', 'a', 'b',
            'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'
        public static void main (String[] parameters) {
            String number = Integer.toHexString (parameters[0].equals ("+") ? Integer.MAX_VALUE : parameters[0].equals ("-") ? Integer.MIN_VALUE : Integer.parseInt (parameters[0]));
            if ((number.length () == 8) && (getPosition (number.charAt (0)) >= 8)) {
                String newNumber = "";
                for (int i = 0; i < number.length (); i ++) {
                    newNumber += digits[15 - getPosition (number.charAt (i))];
                number = "";
                boolean carry = true;
                for (int i = 7; i >= 0; i --) {
                    int position = getPosition (newNumber.charAt (i));
                    if (carry) {
                        position = (position + 1) % 16;
                        carry = (position == 0);
                    number = digits[position] + number;
                number = "-" + number;
            int numberAsInt;
            try {
                numberAsInt = Integer.parseInt (number, 16);
            } catch (NumberFormatException exception) {
                // -8000000
                numberAsInt = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
            System.out.println (numberAsInt);
        private static int getPosition (char digit) {
            int position = 0;
            while ((position < digits.length) && (digits[position] != digit)) {
                position ++;
            return position;
    }Start with java Test <yourNumber>: + for Integer.MAX_VALUE, - for Integer.MIN_VALUE.
    I don't claim it's good or efficient: it's working though. There's lots of things to improve.

  • Integer.parseInt, NumberFormatException

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert numbers back and forth with parseInt and toHexString.
    The number that I want to manipulate is 56789abc.
    String str = Integer.toHexString(1450744508);
    int i = 0;
    try
    i = Integer.parseInt(str, 16);
    catch(NumberFormatException e)
    e.printStackInfo();
    I'm not sure why I'm getting NumberFormatException, since I think
    56789ABC doesn't cross the line. It's not out of boundary.
    Any suggestion or help really be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    I don't know what you're talking about.
    Integer.parseInt("56789ABC", 16);gives 1450744508
    Works fine.

  • String equivalent of Integer.parseInt()

    Integer.parseInt() reads an integer that is being inputted right? what im looking though is some sort of a String equivalent of Integer.parseInt.
    ex:

    n = ? (nString);
    a keyword that reads the text inputted.

  • Integer.parseInt()

    Hi!
    I have a problem that for an experienced programmer like you should be easy.
    I have in my program:
    int num = Integer.parseInt(numbers);
    And I get:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "195400011111111111111113"
    It (195400011111111111111113) looks like not an integer,and I tried:
    long num = Integer.parseInt(numbers);
    But I get the same error.
    What could I do?
    Thank you,
    Nata

    That number is too big for an int, so Integer.parseInt doesn't like it. It doesn't matter if you put a long on the left side of the equals sign, Integer.parseInt only handles ints.
    Do you know about the Long class? Have you looked at its docs to see if it might have something that can help you?

  • Class of Integer.parseInt

    Hi..,
    I really need help. I am trying to make a really simple program. And that I want to make an argument class so that I can reuse it again and again without typing the long word (Integer...)
    Here is the problem:
    Rational r2 = new Rational(toInt(args[0]));
    I think I should make a toInt method, but I don't know how. It is quite confusing. I think this toInt method, we should put it inside the main method. But i don't know yet.
    Please Help me!

    well with the way you wrote it, toInt is a class, not a method. What you are probably envisioning is a class with a constructor which takes a String parameter and returns an int. Unfortunately, constructors don't return values. You can try using the object wrapper class Integer though.
    One suggestion, if you hate the typing for getting arg parameters, make a method which takes the whole args array and parses them into a nice int array or some other data structure you dream up to make it easier?

  • Error in Integer conversion method  equals(...)???

    Example:
    Integer I = new Integer(0);
    If (i.equals(0))
    �.
    As far as I know, equals(Object obj)�. Therefore, i.equals(0) should generate a compilation error. However, I teststed this with JCreator with the latest 1.6.0_03 jdk. It accepts it and treat the �0� as the actual value.
    Therefore, if I do:
    Integer I = new Integer(0);
    If (i.equals(0))
    �.
    i.equals(0) return true. Shouldn't it be invalid instead? If returning true is correct, your documentation should reflect so. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/numberclasses.html.
    Input is greatly appreciated.

    That's due to autoboxing. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/autoboxing.html
    If you want to see something really screwy, what do you think this returns?
    Object o = true ? new Integer(1) : new Double(2.0);

  • Is there any way to use Integer.parseInt using jstl

    Hi
    actually i m getting a string in a varible i need to convert it to int so that i can use it for further calculation.
    so plz tell how to do that...
    thanks

    The exception clearly states the variable isn't a valid number. Print out the value and see what it is.
    And no, you can't set the 'JSTL variable' for the simple reason that there are no 'JSTL variables' ( at least none that are public ). You're probably thinking of the EL. And no, you can't do anything there either.

  • ParseInt integer too big

    Hello,
    In my application I have a form field which a non-negative number should be entered in.
    In order to make my application maximally user-friendly, I validate that field if it has a value entered, if the value entered is a number and if the number entered is negative.
    I validate the string with a Integer.parseInt() method. If it throws a NumberFormatException, then the input string is not a number (empty or text) and I display a message "The input string is not a number...". When it doesn't throw anything, then I validate the number to negativity.
    But when I enter string "5000000000" (five billions), the result is NumberFormatException and the resulting message is "The input string is not a number...", which is obviously bad. Is there a way to know whether the NumberFormatException was thrown because of invalid string or because of too large number was entered?
    Moreover, if value -5000000000 (minus five billions) was entered, I would like to display message "Input number must be non-negative...", instead of "Number too big...".
    Thanks
