## java.lang
Class Integer

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Integer

    @TransactionType(value=NOT_SUPPORTED)
    public final class Integer

extends Object

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`.

Instances of the Integer class are not bound to any context and can be passed between contexts without any restrictions. Objects created and returned by the methods of this class are owned by the caller. In particular, a call to the `toString(int, int)` returns a String instance bound to the owner context of the caller.

See Runtime Environment Specification for the Java Card Platform, Connected Edition, chapter 7 for details regarding transfer of ownership.

Since:
  JDK1.0, CLDC 1.0, Java Card 3.0

Constructor Detail

### Integer

    public Integer(int value)

  Constructs a newly allocated `Integer` object that represents the primitive `int` argument.

  Parameters:
    `value` - the value to be represented by the `Integer`.

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 digits in the order shown. Thus, the digits for hexadecimal (radix 16) are

  >       0123456789abcdef

  >       .

  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 `0`s. 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'`.

  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 `0`s.

  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 `0`s. 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:

  - The first argument is `null` or is a string of length zero.
  - The radix is either smaller than `Character.MIN_RADIX` or larger than `Character.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'`) provided that the string is longer than length 1.
  - The integer value represented by the string is not a value of type `int`.

  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

  Parameters:
    `s` - the `String` containing the integer.
    `radix` - the radix to be used.
  Returns:
    the integer represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
  Throws:
    `NumberFormatException` - if the string does not contain a parsable integer.

### parseInt

    public static int parseInt(String s)
                        throws NumberFormatException

  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. 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` - a string.
  Returns:
    the integer represented by the argument in decimal.

                           throws NumberFormatException

  Returns a new Integer object initialized to the value of the specified String. The first argument is interpreted as representing a signed integer in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the arguments were given to the `parseInt(java.lang.String, int)` method. The result is an `Integer` object that represents the integer value specified by the string.

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

  >      new Integer(Integer.parseInt(s, radix))

  Parameters:
    `s` - the string to be parsed.
    `radix` - the radix of the integer represented by string `s`
  Returns:
    a newly constructed `Integer` initialized to the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
  Throws:
    `NumberFormatException` - if the String cannot be parsed as an `int`.

### valueOf

    public static Integer valueOf(String s)
                           throws NumberFormatException

  Returns a new Integer object initialized to the value of the specified String. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal integer, exactly as if the argument were given to the `parseInt(java.lang.String)` method. The result is an `Integer` object that represents the integer value specified by the string.

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

  >      new Integer(Integer.parseInt(s))

  Parameters:
    `s` - the string to be parsed.
  Returns:
