Integer 

Introduction

The Java Integer class wraps a value of primitive type int in an object. An object of type Integer contains a single field whose type is int.

Field

Following are the fields for java.lang.Integer class −

• static int MAX_VALUE − This is a constant holding the maximum value an int can have, 2³¹-1.
• static int MIN_VALUE − This is a constant holding the minimum value an int can have, -2³¹.
• static int SIZE − This is the number of bits used to represent an int value in two’s complement binary form.
• static Class<Integer> TYPE − This is the class instance representing the primitive type int.

Class constructors

Sr.No.	Constructor & Description

Getting int from a String Example

The following example shows the usage of Integer class to get int from a string.

Open Compiler

packagecom.tutorialspoint;publicclassIntegerDemo{publicstaticvoidmain(String[] args){// create a String s and assign value to itString s ="+120";// create a Integer object iInteger i;// get the value of int from string
      i =Integer.valueOf(s);// print the valueSystem.out.println("Integer value of string "+ s +" is "+ i );}}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Integer value of string +120 is 120
