Another Approach for Converting a String to Integer

Apart from parseInt() Method in Java there is another method for conversion of String to Integer. Below is the implementation of valueOf() method that is

valueOf() Method

The Integer.valueOf() method converts a String into an Integer object. Let us understand this by an example.

Below is the implementation of the above method:

Java




// Java Program to Demonstrate
// Working of valueOf() Method
 
// Main class
public class GFG {
    // Main driver method
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Custom wide-varied inputs to illustrate
        // usage of valueOf() method
        int decimalExample = Integer.valueOf("20");
        int signedPositiveExample = Integer.valueOf("+20");
        int signedNegativeExample = Integer.valueOf("-20");
        int radixExample = Integer.valueOf("20", 16);
        int stringExample = Integer.valueOf("geeks", 29);
 
        // Print statements
        System.out.println(decimalExample);
        System.out.println(signedPositiveExample);
        System.out.println(signedNegativeExample);
        System.out.println(radixExample);
        System.out.println(stringExample);
    }
}


Output
