Class Integer

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Number
- - java.lang.Integer

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<Integer>

public final class Integer
extends Number
implements Comparable<Integer>

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).

Throws:: NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain a parsable integer.

Methods

toString

public static 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 String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:

Integer.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()

Parameters:: i - an integer to be converted to a string.; radix - the radix to use in the string representation.
Returns:: a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.
See Also:: Character.MAX_RADIX, Character.MIN_RADIX

toUnsignedString

public static String toUnsignedString(int i,
                                      int radix)

Returns a string representation of the first argument as an unsigned integer value 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.

Note that since the first argument is treated as an unsigned value, no leading sign character is printed.

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 behavior of radixes and the characters used as digits are the same as toString.

Parameters:: i - an integer to be converted to an unsigned string.; radix - the radix to use in the string representation.
Returns:: an unsigned string representation of the argument in the specified radix.
Since:: 1.8
See Also:: toString(int, int)

toHexString

public static 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.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string s by calling Integer.parseUnsignedInt(s, 16).

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 String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:

Integer.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()

Parameters:: i - an integer to be converted to a string.
Returns:: the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16).
Since:: 1.0.2
See Also:: parseUnsignedInt(String, int), toUnsignedString(int, int)

toOctalString

public static 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.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string s by calling Integer.parseUnsignedInt(s, 8).

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 - an integer to be converted to a string.
Returns:: the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in octal (base 8).
Since:: 1.0.2
See Also:: parseUnsignedInt(String, int), toUnsignedString(int, int)

toBinaryString

public static 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.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string s by calling Integer.parseUnsignedInt(s, 2).

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 - an integer to be converted to a string.
Returns:: the string representation of the unsigned integer value represented by the argument in binary (base 2).

                    throws NumberFormatException

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 Character.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 first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus sign '-' ('\u002D') or plus sign '+' ('\u002B') provided that the string is longer than length 1.

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 - property name.
Returns:: the Integer value of the property.
Throws:: SecurityException - for the same reasons as System.getProperty

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:

Integer result = getInteger(nm, null);
return (result == null) ? new Integer(val) : result;

to avoid the unnecessary allocation of an Integer object when the default value is not needed.

Parameters:: nm - property name.; val - default value.
Returns:: the Integer value of the property.
Throws:: SecurityException - for the same reasons as System.getProperty
See Also:: System.getProperty(java.lang.String), System.getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

getInteger

public static 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 System.getProperty(java.lang.String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as an integer value, as per the decode method, and an Integer object representing this value is returned; in summary:

If the property value begins with the two ASCII characters 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.
If the property value begins with the ASCII character 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.
Otherwise, the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as by the method 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 - property name.; val - default value.
Returns:: the Integer value of the property.
Throws:: SecurityException - for the same reasons as System.getProperty
See Also:: System.getProperty(java.lang.String), System.getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

decode

public static Integer decode(String nm)
                      throws NumberFormatException

Decodes a String into an Integer. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:

DecodableString:: Sign_opt DecimalNumeral; Sign_opt 0x HexDigits; Sign_opt 0X HexDigits; Sign_opt # HexDigits; Sign_opt 0 OctalDigits
Sign:: -; +

DecimalNumeral, HexDigits, and OctalDigits are as defined in section 3.10.1 of The Java™ Language Specification, except that underscores are not accepted between digits.

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 - the String to decode.
Returns:: an Integer object holding the int value represented by nm
Throws:: NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain a parsable integer.
See Also:: parseInt(java.lang.String, int)

compareTo

public int compareTo(Integer anotherInteger)

Compares two Integer objects numerically.

Specified by:: compareTo in interface Comparable<Integer>
Parameters:: anotherInteger - the Integer to be compared.
Returns:: the value 0 if this Integer is equal to the argument Integer; a value less than 0 if this Integer is numerically less than the argument Integer; and a value greater than 0 if this Integer is numerically greater than the argument Integer (signed comparison).
Since:: 1.2

compare

public static int compare(int x,
                          int y)

Compares two int values numerically. The value returned is identical to what would be returned by:

Integer.valueOf(x).compareTo(Integer.valueOf(y))

Parameters:: x - the first int to compare; y - the second int to compare
Returns:: the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y
Since:: 1.7

compareUnsigned

public static int compareUnsigned(int x,
                                  int y)

Compares two int values numerically treating the values as unsigned.

Parameters:: x - the first int to compare; y - the second int to compare
Returns:: the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y as unsigned values; and a value greater than 0 if x > y as unsigned values
Since:: 1.8

toUnsignedLong

public static long toUnsignedLong(int x)

Converts the argument to a long by an unsigned conversion. In an unsigned conversion to a long, the high-order 32 bits of the long are zero and the low-order 32 bits are equal to the bits of the integer argument. Consequently, zero and positive int values are mapped to a numerically equal long value and negative int values are mapped to a long value equal to the input plus 2³².

Parameters:: x - the value to convert to an unsigned long
Returns:: the argument converted to long by an unsigned conversion
Since:: 1.8

divideUnsigned

public static int divideUnsigned(int dividend,
                                 int divisor)

Returns the unsigned quotient of dividing the first argument by the second where each argument and the result is interpreted as an unsigned value.

Note that in two's complement arithmetic, the three other basic arithmetic operations of add, subtract, and multiply are bit-wise identical if the two operands are regarded as both being signed or both being unsigned. Therefore separate addUnsigned, etc. methods are not provided.

Parameters:: dividend - the value to be divided; divisor - the value doing the dividing
Returns:: the unsigned quotient of the first argument divided by the second argument
Since:: 1.8
See Also:: remainderUnsigned(int, int)

remainderUnsigned

public static int remainderUnsigned(int dividend,
                                    int divisor)

Returns the unsigned remainder from dividing the first argument by the second where each argument and the result is interpreted as an unsigned value.

Parameters:: dividend - the value to be divided; divisor - the value doing the dividing
Returns:: the unsigned remainder of the first argument divided by the second argument
Since:: 1.8
See Also:: divideUnsigned(int, int)

highestOneBit

public static int highestOneBit(int i)

Returns an int value with at most a single one-bit, in the position of the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the specified int value. Returns zero if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement binary representation, that is, if it is equal to zero.

Parameters:: i - the value whose highest one bit is to be computed

Since:: 1.5

lowestOneBit

public static int lowestOneBit(int i)

Returns an int value with at most a single one-bit, in the position of the lowest-order ("rightmost") one-bit in the specified int value. Returns zero if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement binary representation, that is, if it is equal to zero.

Parameters:: i - the value whose lowest one bit is to be computed
Returns:: an int value with a single one-bit, in the position of the lowest-order one-bit in the specified value, or zero if the specified value is itself equal to zero.
Since:: 1.5

numberOfLeadingZeros

public static int numberOfLeadingZeros(int i)

Returns the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value. Returns 32 if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement representation, in other words if it is equal to zero.

Note that this method is closely related to the logarithm base 2. For all positive int values x:

floor(log₂(x)) = 31 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x)
ceil(log₂(x)) = 32 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x - 1)

Parameters:: i - the value whose number of leading zeros is to be computed
Returns:: the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value, or 32 if the value is equal to zero.
Since:: 1.5

numberOfTrailingZeros

public static int numberOfTrailingZeros(int i)

Returns the number of zero bits following the lowest-order ("rightmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value. Returns 32 if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement representation, in other words if it is equal to zero.

Parameters:: i - the value whose number of trailing zeros is to be computed
Returns:: the number of zero bits following the lowest-order ("rightmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value, or 32 if the value is equal to zero.

bitCount

public static int bitCount(int i)

Returns the number of one-bits in the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value. This function is sometimes referred to as the population count.

Since:: 1.5

rotateLeft

public static 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 - the value whose bits are to be rotated left; distance - the number of bit positions to rotate left
Returns:: the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value left by the specified number of bits.
Since:: 1.5

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).

Parameters:: i - the value whose bits are to be rotated right; distance - the number of bit positions to rotate right
Returns:: the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value right by the specified number of bits.
