This 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 a number of 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.
MAX_VALUE
public final static int MAX_VALUE = 2147483647
- The largest value of type int.
 
MIN_VALUE
public final static int MIN_VALUE = -2147483648
- The smallest value of type int.
 
Integer
public Integer(int  value)
- Constructs a newly allocated Integer object that represents the primitive int argument.
- Parameters:
 value
- the value to be reprsented by the Integer
 
Integer
public Integer(String  s)
throws NumberFormatException
- Constructs a newly allocated Integer object that represents the value represented by the string The string is converted to an int value as if by the valueOf method (I-§1.8.22).
- Parameters:

- Throws
 - NumberFormatException  (I-§1.41)
- If the String does not contain a parsable integer.

- The result is 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:

getInteger
public static 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 to be 
obtained as if by the method System.getProperty (I-§1.18.10). The string value 
of this property is then interpreted as an integer value and an Integer object 
representing this value is returned. The full details of the possible numeric 
formats are given in I-§1.8.10.
- If there is no property with the specified name, or if the property does not 
have the correct numeric format, then null is returned.
- Parameters:
 nm
- property name
- Returns:
 - the Integer value of the property.
 
   
getInteger
public static 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 to be 
obtained as if by the method System.getProperty (I-§1.18.10). The string value 
of this property is then interpreted as an integer value and an Integer object 
representing this value is returned. The full details of the possible numeric 
formats are given in I-§1.8.10.
- If there is no property with the specified name, or if the property does not 
have the correct numeric format, then an Integer object that represents the 
value of the second argument is returned.
- Parameters:
 nm
- property name
val
- default value
- Returns:
 - the Integer value of the property.
 
   
getInteger
public static Integer getInteger(String  nm, Integer  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 to be 
obtained as if by the method System.getProperty (I-§1.18.10). The string value 
of this property is then interpreted as an integer value and an Integer object 
representing this value is returned.
- If the property value begins with "0x" or "#", not followed by a minus sign, 
the rest of it is parsed as a hexadecimal integer exactly as for the method 
Integer.valueOf (I-§1.8.23) with radix 16.
- If the property value begins with "0" then it is parsed as an octal integer 
exactly as for the method Integer.valueOf (I-§1.8.23) with radix 8.
- Otherwise the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as for 
the method Integer.valueOf (I-§1.8.23) with radix 10.
- The second argument is the default value. If there is no property of the 
specified name, or if the property does not have the correct numeric format, then the second argument is returned.
- Parameters:
 nm
- property name
val
- default value
- Returns:
 - the Integer value of the property.
 
      
hashCode
public int hashCode()
- Returns:
 - a hash code value for this object. 
 - Overrides:
 - hashCode in class Object  (I-§1.12.6).
 
intValue
public int intValue()
- Returns:
 - The int value represented by this object is returned.
 - Overrides:
 - intValue in class Number  (I-§1.11.3).
 
longValue
public long longValue()
- Returns:
 - The int value represented by this object is converted to type long and 
the result of the conversion is returned..
 - Overrides:
 - longValue in class Number  (I-§1.11.4).
 
parseInt
public static int parseInt(String  s)
throws NumberFormatException
- 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 '-' to indicate a negative value. 
- Parameters:

 - the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by 
the argument in hexadecimal (base 16).
 
  
toOctalString3
public static String toOctalString(int  i)
- Creates a string representation of the integer argument as an unsigned integer in base 8.
- The unsigned integer value is the argument plus 
 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 0's.

toString
public static String toString(int  i)
- Parameters:
 i
- an integer to be converted
- Returns:
 - a string representation of the argument in base 10.
 
toString
public static String toString(int  i, int  radix)
- Creates a string representation of the first argument in the radix specified 
by the second argument.
- If the radix is smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX (I-§1.2.3) or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX (I-§1.2.1), then the radix 10 is used instead.
- If the first argument is negative, the first element of the result is the ASCII 
minus characer '-' . If the first argument is not negative, no sign character 
appears in the result. The following ASCII characters are used as digits:
-         0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
- Parameters:
 i
- an integer
radix
- the radix
- Returns:
 - a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

 s
- the string to be parsed
- Returns:
 - a newly constructed Integer initialized to the value represented by the 
string argument.
 - Throws
 - NumberFormatException  (I-§1.41)
- If the string does not contain a parsable integer.
  
valueOf
public static Integer valueOf(String  s, int  radix)
