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.
 
Implementation note: The implementations of the "bit twiddling"
 methods (such as highestOneBit and
 numberOfTrailingZeros) are
 based on material from Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s Hacker's
 Delight, (Addison Wesley, 2002).

The sequence of characters following an optional
 sign and/or radix specifier ("0x", "0X",
 "#", or leading zero) is parsed as by the Integer.parseInt method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or
 8).  This sequence of characters must represent a positive
 value or a NumberFormatException will be thrown.  The
 result is negated if first character of the specified String is the minus sign.  No whitespace characters are
 permitted in the String.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| nm | String:
          theStringto decode. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Integer | an Integerobject holding theintvalue represented bynm |

 double.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| double | the numeric value represented by this object after conversion
          to type double. | 
boolean equals (Object obj)

 true if and only if the argument is not
 null and is an Integer object that
 contains the same int value as this object.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| obj | Object:
          the object to compare with. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueif the objects are the same;falseotherwise. |

Returns the value of this Integer as a
 float.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| float | the numeric value represented by this object after conversion
          to type float. | 
Integer getInteger (String nm, Integer val)
Returns the integer value of the system property with the
 specified name.  The first argument is treated as the name of a
 system property.  System properties are accessible through the
 getProperty(java.lang.String) method.
 The string value of this property is then interpreted as an
 integer value, as per the Integer.decode method,
 and an Integer object representing this value is
 returned.
 
0x or the ASCII character #, not
      followed by a minus sign, then the rest of it is parsed as a
      hexadecimal integer exactly as by the method
      valueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 16.
 0 followed by another character, it is parsed as an
     octal integer exactly as by the method
     valueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 8.
 valueOf(java.lang.String, int)
 with radix 10.
 The second argument is the default value. The default value is
 returned if there is no property of the specified name, if the
 property does not have the correct numeric format, or if the
 specified name is empty or null.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| nm | String:
          property name. | 
| val | Integer:
          default value. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Integer | the Integervalue of the property. | 
Integer getInteger (String nm)
Determines the integer value of the system property with the specified name.
The first argument is treated as the name of a system property.
 System properties are accessible through the
 getProperty(java.lang.String) method. The
 string value of this property is then interpreted as an integer
 value and an Integer object representing this value is
 returned. Details of possible numeric formats can be found with
 the definition of getProperty.
 
If there is no property with the specified name, if the specified name
 is empty or null, or if the property does not have
 the correct numeric format, then null is returned.
 
In other words, this method returns an Integer
 object equal to the value of:
 
  getInteger(nm, null)
 
    | Parameters | |
|---|---|
| nm | String:
          property name. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Integer | the Integervalue of the property. | 
Integer getInteger (String nm, int val)
Determines the integer value of the system property with the specified name.
The first argument is treated as the name of a system property.
 System properties are accessible through the getProperty(java.lang.String) method. The
 string value of this property is then interpreted as an integer
 value and an Integer object representing this value is
 returned. Details of possible numeric formats can be found with
 the definition of getProperty.
 
The second argument is the default value. An Integer object
 that represents the value of the second argument is returned if there
 is no property of the specified name, if the property does not have
 the correct numeric format, or if the specified name is empty or
 null.
 
In other words, this method returns an Integer object
 equal to the value of:
 
  getInteger(nm, new Integer(val))
 
 but in practice it may be implemented in a manner such as:
 to avoid the unnecessary allocation of anInteger result = getInteger(nm, null); return (result == null) ? new Integer(val) : result;
Integer
 object when the default value is not needed.
    | Parameters | |
|---|---|
| nm | String:
          property name. | 
| val | int:

     to zero. | 
int parseInt (String s, int radix)
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 digit(char, int) returns a
 nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an
 ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to
 indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign '+'
 ('\u002B') to indicate a positive value. The
 resulting integer value is returned.
 
An exception of type NumberFormatException is
 thrown if any of the following situations occurs:
 
null or is a string of
 length zero.
 MIN_RADIX or
 larger than MAX_RADIX.
 '-' ('\u002D') or plus sign
 '+' ('\u002B') provided that the
 string is longer than length 1.
 int.
 Examples:
 parseInt("0", 10) returns 0
 parseInt("473", 10) returns 473
 parseInt("+42", 10) returns 42
 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 | String:
          theStringcontaining the integer
                  representation to be parsed | 
| radix | int:
          the radix to be used while parsings. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the integer represented by the string argument in the specified radix. | 
| Throws | |

| NumberFormatException | if the Stringdoes not contain a parsableint. | 
int parseInt (String s)
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 or an
 ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u002B') to
 indicate a positive 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 | String:
          aStringcontaining theintrepresentation to be parsed | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the integer value represented by the argument in decimal. | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| NumberFormatException | if the string does not contain a parsable integer. | 
int reverse (int i)
Returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bits in the
 two's complement binary representation of the specified int
 value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| i | int | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the value obtained by reversing order of the bits in the
     specified intvalue. | 
int reverseBytes (int i)
Returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bytes in the
 two's complement representation of the specified int value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| i | int | 
| Returns | |

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.  (Bits shifted out of the left hand, or
 high-order, side reenter on the right, or low-order.)
 
Note that left rotation with a negative distance is equivalent to
 right rotation: rotateLeft(val, -distance) == rotateRight(val,
 distance).  Note also that rotation by any multiple of 32 is a
 no-op, so all but the last five bits of the rotation distance can be
 ignored, even if the distance is negative: rotateLeft(val,
 distance) == rotateLeft(val, distance & 0x1F).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| i | int | 
| distance | int | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary
     representation of the specified intvalue left by the
     specified number of bits. | 
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.  (Bits shifted out of the right hand, or
 low-order, side reenter on the left, or high-order.)
 
Note that right rotation with a negative distance is equivalent to
 left rotation: rotateRight(val, -distance) == rotateLeft(val,
 distance).  Note also that rotation by any multiple of 32 is a
 no-op, so all but the last five bits of the rotation distance can be
 ignored, even if the distance is negative: rotateRight(val,
 distance) == rotateRight(val, distance & 0x1F).

| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary
     representation of the specified intvalue right by the

String toBinaryString (int i)
Returns a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 2.
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 binary (base 2) with no extra leading 0s.
 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 | int:
          an integer to be converted to a string. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in binary (base 2). | 
String toHexString (int i)
Returns 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
 0s. 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 '\u0061' through
 '\u0066'. If uppercase letters are
 desired, the toUpperCase() method may
 be called on the result:
 
  Integer.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()
 
    
    | Parameters | |
|---|---|
| i | int:
          an integer to be converted to a string. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16). | 
String toOctalString (int i)
Returns 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 0s.
 
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 octal
 digits:
 
 01234567
 
 These are the characters '\u0030' through
 '\u0037'.
    
    | Parameters | |
|---|---|
| i | int:
          an integer to be converted to a string. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in octal (base 8). | 
String toString ()
Returns a String object representing this
 Integer's value. The value is converted to signed
 decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if
 the integer value were given as an argument to the toString(int) method.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | a string representation of the value of this object in base 10. | 
String toString (int i)
Returns a 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 | int:
          an integer to be converted. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | a string representation of the argument in base 10. | 
String toString (int i, int radix)
Returns 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 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. If uppercase letters are
 desired, the toUpperCase() method may
 be called on the result:
 
  Integer.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()
 
    | Parameters | |
|---|---|
| i | int:
          an integer to be converted to a string. | 
| radix | int:
          the radix to use in the string representation. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | a string representation of the argument in the specified radix. | 
Integer valueOf (String s)
Returns an Integer object holding 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 | String:
          the string to be parsed. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Integer | an Integerobject holding the value
             represented by the string argument. | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| NumberFormatException | if the string cannot be parsed as an integer. | 
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. 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 | String:
          the string to be parsed. | 
| radix | int:
          the radix to be used in interpretings | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Integer | an Integerobject holding the value
             represented by the string argument in the specified
             radix. | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| NumberFormatException | if the Stringdoes not contain a parsableint. | 
Integer valueOf (int i)
Returns an Integer instance representing the specified
 int value.  If a new Integer instance is not
 required, this method should generally be used in preference to
 the constructor Integer(int), as this method is likely
 to yield significantly better space and time performance by
 caching frequently requested values.
 This method will always cache values in the range -128 to 127,
 inclusive, and may cache other values outside of this range.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| i | int:
          anintvalue. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Integer | an Integerinstance representingi. |
