Java.lang.Integer class

Java.lang.Integer class in Java ^{geeksforgeeks.org}

Integer class is a wrapper class for the primitive type int which contains several methods to effectively deal with a int value like converting it to a string representation, and vice-versa. An object of Integer class can hold a single int value.

• Constructors:

  1. Integer(int b): Creates a Integer object initialized with the value provided.

     Syntax : public Integer(int b)
     Parameters :
     b : value with which to initialize
     

  2. Integer(String s): Creates a Integer object initialized with the int value provided by string representation.

     Defalut radix is taken to be 10.
     Syntax : public Integer(String s) 
                 throws NumberFormatException
     Parameters :
     s : string representation of the int value 
     Throws :
     NumberFormatException : If the string provided does not represent any int value.
     

• Methods:

  1. toString() : Returns the string corresponding to the int value.
  2. toHexString() : Returns the string corresponding to the int value in hexadecimal form, that is it returns a string
  3. toOctalString() : Returns the string corresponding to the int value in octal form, that is it returns a string
  4. toBinaryString() : Returns the string corresponding to the int value in binary digits, that is it returns a string representing the int value in hex characters-[0/1]
  5. valueOf() : returns the Integer object initialised with the value provided.
     • valueOf(String val,int radix): Another overloaded function which provides function similar to new
     • valueOf(String val): Another overloaded function which provides function similar to
  6. parseInt() : returns int value by parsing the string in radix provided. Differs from valueOf() as it returns a
  7. getInteger() : returns the Integer object representing the value associated with the given system property or null if it does not exist.
  8. decode() : returns a Integer object holding the decoded value of string provided. String provided must be of the following form else NumberFormatException will be thrown- Decimal- (Sign)Decimal_Number
  9. rotateLeft() : Returns a primitive int by rotating the bits left by given distance in two’s complement form of the value given. When rotating left, the most significant bit is moved to the right hand side, or least significant position i.e. cyclic movement of bits takes place. Negative distance signifies right rotation.
  10. rotateRight() : Returns a primitive int by rotating the bits right by given distance in the twos complement form of the value given. When rotating right, the least significant bit is moved to the left hand side, or most significant position i.e. cyclic movement of bits takes place. Negative distance signifies left rotation.
