    A Java Question

    Hello, I have a newbie question here. How do I convert the char and String data type to an integer in Java so that I can perform arithmetic operation?

    Thanks.

    like this?

    char crap = 'a';
    int othercrap = (int)crap;

    othercrap would have the ascii code value of 'a' then.

    If you want to decode them in decimal, use the Integer.parseInt() method (IIRC)

    something like

    Code:
      String mystr = "42";
      int theAnswer = Integer.parseInt(mystr);

    I strongly recommend keeping a link on hand to the api documentation on http://java.sun.com . A quick run through there before coming here would probably save you time.

    Will Integer.parseInt convert the String datatype to int? :P
    j/k, I just thought it was funny that it was mentioned 3 times. the java API owns j00.
