Java String to int

We can convert String to int in java using Integer.parseInt() method..

Scenario
It is generally used if we have to perform mathematical operations on the string that contains number. Whenever we get data from textfield or textarea, entered data is received as a string. If entered data is integer, we need to convert string to int. To do so, we use Integer.parseInt() method.

Signature

The parseInt() is the static method of Integer class. The signature of parseInt() method is given below:


public static int parseInt(String s)  
Java String to int Example
Let's see the simple code to convert string to int in java.

int i=Integer.parseInt("200");  

Let's see the simple example of converting String to int in java.

public class StringToIntExample{  
public static void main(String args[]){  
String s="200";  
int i=Integer.parseInt(s);  
System.out.println(s+100);//200100 because + is string concatenation operator  
System.out.println(i+100);//300 because + is binary plus operator  
}}  


Output:

200100
300


Java int to String

We can convert int to String in java using String.valueOf() and Integer.toString() methods.

Scenario

It is generally used if we have to display number in textfield because everything is displayed as a string in form.
1) String.valueOf()
The String.valueOf() method converts int to String. The valueOf() is the static method of String class. The signature of valueOf() method is given below:


1.         public static String valueOf(int i)  

Java int to String Example using String.valueOf()
Let's see the simple code to convert int to String in java.
1.         int i=10;  
2.         String s=String.valueOf(i);//Now it will return "10"  

Let's see the simple example of converting String to int in java.

1.         public class IntToStringExample1{  
2.         public static void main(String args[]){  
3.         int i=200;  
4.         String s=String.valueOf(i);  
5.         System.out.println(i+100);//300 because + is binary plus operator  
6.         System.out.println(s+100);//200100 because + is string concatenation operator  
7.         }}  

Output:
300

Java String to long

We can convert String to long in java using Long.parseLong() method.

Scenario

It is generally used if we have to perform mathematical operations on the string that contains long number. Whenever we get data from textfield or textarea, entered data is received as a string. If entered data is long, we need to convert string to long. To do so, we use Long.parseLong() method.

Signature

The parseLong() is the static method of Long class. The signature of parseLong() method is given below:
1.         public static long parseLong(String s)  

Java String to long Example
Let's see the simple code to convert string to long in java.
1.         long l=Long.parseLong("200");  

Let's see the simple example of converting String to long in java.
1.         public class StringToLongExample{  
2.         public static void main(String args[]){  
3.         String s="9990449935";  
4.         long l=Long.parseLong(s);  
5.         System.out.println(l);  
6.         }} 

Output:
9990449935

Java long to String

We can convert long to String in java using String.valueOf() and Long.toString() methods.

Scenario

It is generally used if we have to display long number in textfield because everything is displayed as a string in form.
1) String.valueOf()
The String.valueOf() is an overloaded method. It can be used to convert long to String. The valueOf() is the static method of String class. The signature of valueOf() method is given below:
1.         public static String valueOf(long i)  

Java long to String Example using String.valueOf()
Let's see the simple code to convert int to String in java.
1.         long i=9993939399L;//L is the suffix for long  
2.         String s=String.valueOf(i);//Now it will return "9993939399"  

Let's see the simple example of converting String to int in java.
1.         public class LongToStringExample1{  
2.         public static void main(String args[]){  
3.         long i=9993939399L;  
4.         String s=String.valueOf(i);  
5.         System.out.println(s);  
6.         }}

9993939399


Java String to float

We can convert String to float in java using Float.parseFloat() method.

Scenario

It is generally used if we have to perform mathematical operations on the string that contains float number. Whenever we get data from textfield or textarea, entered data is received as a string. If entered data is float, we need to convert string to float. To do so, we use Float.parseFloat() method.

Signature

The parseFloat() is the static method of Float class. The signature of parseFloat() method is given below:
1.         public static int parseFloat(String s)  

Java String to float Example
Let's see the simple code to convert string to float in java.
