Convert string number to integer number [duplicate]

Question

I have "1" as a string, and I would like to convert it to decimal, 1, as integer.

I tried charAt(), but it returns 49, not 1 integer.

So, what is required to convert the "1" string to 1 integer?

49 is the numerical equivalent for the character 1. To get the numerical value of a single character, you can do this: c - '0'. So, '1' - '0' = 1. — Obicere

@Obicere - Yep, while that's almost certainly not what the OP wanted, it's worthwhile to point it out. An important step in understanding the difference between a (conceptual) number and it's physical representation. — Hot Licks

@HotLicks it will be extremely useful if he wishes to create his own method for parsing it. — Obicere

@Obicere - Yes, especially if his instructor assigns him the task of writing a number parser from scratch. (And it seems to be a popular assignment, and one that many folks break their pick on.) — Hot Licks

Use Wrapper Class.

Examples are below

int

int a = Integer.parseInt("1"); // Outputs 1

float

float a = Float.parseFloat("1"); // Outputs 1.0

double

double a = Double.parseDouble("1"); // Outputs 1.0

long

long a = Long.parseLong("1"); // Outputs 1

Or Float, or Double, depending on the type of data.

int one = Integer.parseInt("1");

Ideally you should be catching errors too:

int i;
String s = "might not be a number";
try {
   i = Integer.parseInt(s);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
   //do something
}

Integer.parseInt does exactly that.

int foo = Integer.parseInt("1");

String s = "1";
