Integer

public final class Integer
extends Number implements Comparable<Integer>

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.lang.Number
     ↳ java.lang.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 highestOneBit and numberOfTrailingZeros) are based on material from Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s Hacker's Delight, (Addison Wesley, 2002).

Returns
double the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type double.

equals

Added in API level 1

getInteger

Added in API level 1
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 the 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.

  • If the property value begins with the two ASCII characters 0x or the ASCII character #, not followed by a minus sign, then the rest of it is parsed as a hexadecimal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 16.
  • If the property value begins with the ASCII character 0 followed by another character, it is parsed as an octal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 8.
  • Otherwise, the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 10.

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

See also:

getInteger

Added in API level 1
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 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 String: property name.
Returns
Integer the Integer value of the property.

See also:

getInteger

Added in API level 1
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 the 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 String: property name.
val int: default value.
Returns
Integer the Integer value of the property.

parseInt

Added in API level 1
int parseInt (String s, 
                int radix)

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 digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u002B') to indicate a positive 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 MIN_RADIX or larger than 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') or plus sign '+' ('\u002B') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
  • The value represented by the string is not a value of type int.

Examples:

Returns
int the integer represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Throws
NumberFormatException if the String does not contain a parsable int.

parseInt

Added in API level 1
int parseInt (String s)

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 or an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u002B') to indicate a positive 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 String: a String containing the int representation to be parsed

                int distance)

Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value left by the specified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the left hand, or high-order, side reenter on the right, or low-order.)

Note that left rotation with a negative distance is equivalent to right rotation: rotateLeft(val, -distance) == rotateRight(val, distance). Note also that rotation by any multiple of 32 is a no-op, so all but the last five bits of the rotation distance can be ignored, even if the distance is negative: rotateLeft(val, distance) == rotateLeft(val, distance & 0x1F).

Parameters
i int
distance int
Returns
int the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value left by the specified number of bits.

Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value right by the specified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the right hand, or low-order, side reenter on the left, or high-order.)

Note that right rotation with a negative distance is equivalent to left rotation: rotateRight(val, -distance) == rotateLeft(val, distance). Note also that rotation by any multiple of 32 is a no-op, so all but the last five bits of the rotation distance can be ignored, even if the distance is negative: rotateRight(val, distance) == rotateRight(val, distance & 0x1F).

Added in API level 1
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 232 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 int: an integer to be converted to a string.
Returns
String the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in binary (base 2).

toHexString

Added in API level 1
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 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 '\u0061' through '\u0066'. If uppercase letters are desired, the toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:
Integer.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()

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

toOctalString

Added in API level 1
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 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 following characters are used as octal digits:

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

Parameters
i int: an integer to be converted to a string.
Returns
String the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in octal (base 8).

toString

Added in API level 1

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

toString

Added in API level 1
String toString (int i)

Returns a 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 int: an integer to be converted.
Returns
String a string representation of the argument in base 10.

toString

Added in API level 1
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 toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:
Integer.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()

Parameters
i int: an integer to be converted to a string.
radix int: the radix to use in the string representation.
Returns
String a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.
