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.
Integer class Constructors
- Integer(int value) - Constructs a newly allocated Integer object that represents the specified int value.
- Integer(String s) - Constructs a newly allocated Integer object that represents the int value indicated by the String parameter.
Example:
int b = 55;
String str= "45";
// Construct two Integer objects
Integer x = new Integer(b);
Integer y = new Integer(str);
Integer class Methods
A diagram shows a list of APIs/Methods that Integer class provides.
In this post, we will learn a few important methods of the Integer wrapper class provides.
toString() methods
- String toString() - Returns a String object representing this Integer's value.
- static String toString(int i) - Returns a String object representing the specified integer.
- static String toString(int i, int radix) - Returns a string representation of the first argument in the radix specified by the second argument.
Example: Example to demonstrate above all toString() methods.
private static void toStringMethods() {
// toString()
System.out.println("toString(b) = " + Integer.toString(b));
// toHexString(),toOctalString(),toBinaryString()
// converts into hexadecimal, octal and binary forms.
System.out.println("toHexString(b) =" + Integer.toHexString(b));
System.out.println("toOctalString(b) =" + Integer.toOctalString(b));
System.out.println("toBinaryString(b) =" + Integer.toBinaryString(b));
}
Output:
toString(b) = 55
toHexString(b) =37
toOctalString(b) =67
toBinaryString(b) =110111
valueOf() Methods
- static Integer valueOf(int i) - Returns an Integer instance representing the specified int value.
- static Integer valueOf(String s) - Returns an Integer object holding the value of the specified String.
- static Integer valueOf(String s, int radix) - Returns an Integer object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument.
Example:
private static void valueOfMethods() {
// valueOf(): return Integer object
// an overloaded method takes radix as well.
Integer z = Integer.valueOf(b);
System.out.println("valueOf(b) = " + z);
z = Integer.valueOf(bb);
System.out.println("ValueOf(bb) = " + z);
z = Integer.valueOf(bb, 6);
System.out.println("ValueOf(bb,6) = " + z);
}
Output:
valueOf(b) = 55
ValueOf(bb) = 45
ValueOf(bb,6) = 29
parseInt() methods
- static int parseInt(String s) - Parses the string argument as a signed decimal integer.
- static int parseInt(String s, int radix) - Parses the string argument as a signed integer in the radix specified by the second argument.
Example:
private static void parseIntMethods() {
// parseInt(): return primitive int value
// an overloaded method takes radix as well
int zz = Integer.parseInt(bb);
System.out.println("parseInt(bb) = " + zz);
zz = Integer.parseInt(bb, 6);
System.out.println("parseInt(bb,6) = " + zz);
}
Output:
parseInt(bb) = 45
parseInt(bb,6) = 29
rotateLeft() and rotateRight() methods
- static int rotateLeft(int i, 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.
- static int rotateRight(int i, int distance) - Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value right by the specified number of bits.
Example:
private static void rotateMethods() {
// rotateLeft and rotateRight can be used
// to rotate bits by specified distance
int valrot = 2;
System.out.println("rotateLeft(0000 0000 0000 0010 , 2) =" + Integer.rotateLeft(valrot, 2));
System.out.println("rotateRight(0000 0000 0000 0010,3) =" + Integer.rotateRight(valrot, 3));
}
Output:
rotateLeft(0000 0000 0000 0010 , 2) =8
rotateRight(0000 0000 0000 0010,3) =1073741824
decode() method
- static Integer decode(String nm) - Decodes a String into an Integer.
Example:
private static void decodeMethods() {
// decode() : decodes the hex,octal and decimal
// string to corresponding int values.
String decimal = "45";
String octal = "005";
String hex = "0x0f";
Integer dec = Integer.decode(decimal);
System.out.println("decode(45) = " + dec);
dec = Integer.decode(octal);
System.out.println("decode(005) = " + dec);
dec = Integer.decode(hex);
System.out.println("decode(0x0f) = " + dec);
}
Output:
decode(45) = 45
decode(005) = 5
decode(0x0f) = 15
getInteger() methods
- static Integer getInteger(String nm) - Determines the integer value of the system property with the specified name.
- static Integer getInteger(String nm, int val) - Determines the integer value of the system property with the specified name.
- static Integer getInteger(String nm, Integer val) - Returns the integer value of the system property with the specified name.
Example:
private static void getIntegerMethods() {
// getInteger(): can be used to retrieve
// int value of system property
int prop = Integer.getInteger("sun.arch.data.model");
System.out.println("getInteger(sun.arch.data.model) = " + prop);
System.out.println("getInteger(abcd) =" + Integer.getInteger("abcd"));
// an overloaded getInteger() method
// which return default value if property not found.
System.out.println("getInteger(abcd,10) =" + Integer.getInteger("abcd", 10));
}
Output:
getInteger(sun.arch.data.model) = 64
getInteger(abcd) =null
getInteger(abcd,10) =10
int,byte,short,long,double,float value() methods
private static void valueMethods() {
// Construct two Integer objects
Integer x = new Integer(b);
// xxxValue can be used to retrieve
// xxx type value from int value.
// xxx can be int,byte,short,long,double,float
System.out.println("bytevalue(x) = " + x.byteValue());
System.out.println("shortvalue(x) = " + x.shortValue());
System.out.println("intvalue(x) = " + x.intValue());
System.out.println("longvalue(x) = " + x.longValue());
System.out.println("doublevalue(x) = " + x.doubleValue());
System.out.println("floatvalue(x) = " + x.floatValue());
}

shortvalue(x) = 55
intvalue(x) = 55
longvalue(x) = 55
doublevalue(x) = 55.0
floatvalue(x) = 55.0

numberOfTrailingZeros() and numberOfLeadingZeros() methods
// numberOfTrailingZeroes and numberOfLeaadingZeroes
// can be used to count prefix and postfix sequence of 0
System.out.println("Integer.numberOfTrailingZeros(value)=" + Integer.numberOfTrailingZeros(value));
System.out.println("Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros(value)=" + Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros(value));
highestOneBit() method
// highestOneBit returns a value with one on highest
// set bit position
System.out.println("Integer.highestOneBit(value)=" + Integer.highestOneBit(value));
lowestOneBit() method
// highestOneBit returns a value with one on lowest
// set bit position

// signum() returns -1,0,1 for negative,0 and positive
// values
