Aside from Integer.parseInt()
handling the minus sign (as documented), are there any other differences between Integer.valueOf()
and Integer.parseInt()
?
And since neither can parse ,
as a decimal thousands separator (produces NumberFormatException
), is there an already available Java method to do that?
Actually, valueOf
uses parseInt
internally. The difference is parseInt
returns an int
primitive while valueOf
returns an Integer
object. Consider from the Integer.class source:
public static int parseInt(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
return parseInt(s, 10);
}
public static Integer valueOf(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException {
return Integer.valueOf(parseInt(s, radix));
}
public static Integer valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
return Integer.valueOf(parseInt(s, 10));
}
As for parsing with a comma, I'm not familiar with one. I would sanitize them.
int million = Integer.parseInt("1,000,000".replace(",", ""));
