Integer valueOf() Method in Java

  1. The java.lang.Integer.valueOf(int a) is an inbuilt method which is used to return an Integer instance representing the specified int value a.

    Syntax : 

    public static Integer valueOf(int a)

    Parameters : The method accepts a single parameter a of integer type representing the parameter whose Integer instance is to be returned.



    Return Value : The method returns an Integer instance representing a.

    Examples :

    Input: a = 65
Output: 65

Input: a = -985
Output: -985

    Below programs illustrate the java.lang.Integer.valueOf(int a) method.
    Program 1: For a positive number.

The java.lang.Integer.valueOf(String s, int radix) is an inbuilt method which returns an Integer object, holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the base given by the second argument.
    

    Syntax : 
    

    public static Integer valueOf(String str, int base)
    

    Parameter: The method accepts two parameters:
    

      

    • str: This is of String type which is to be parsed.
      • 

    • base  This is of Integer type and refers to the base to be used to interpret str.
      • 

    

    Return Value : The method returns an Integer object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified base or radix.
    

    Examples: 
    

    Input: str = "1101"
       base = 2
Output: 13

Input: str = "101"
       base = 4
Output: 17
