int to string conversion using toStirng()

[Bhasker Reddy]

how do i convent int to string using toString() method..
the code i am using is
public class Test28
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Integer x=new Integer("4");
if (!(x instanceof String))
{
x=x.toString();
System.out.println("x ix not string");
}
else
{
System.out.println("x is string");
}
}
}

Reddy,
I think you have big mis-understanding about data types.
any how in your code
x=x.toString() is not correct
it will fire a compile time error.
Look at the following code.
Integer ix = new Integer(400);
Integer iy = new Integer(500);
int x;
int y;
String sx;
String sy;
x = ix.intValue();
y = iy.intValue();
sx = ix.toString();
sx = iy.toString();
System.out.println(x+y);
System.out.println(sx+sy);
I hope this will clear your ideas!!!

Hi there,
I agree that the questioner needs to know more abt primitive
datatypes and wrapper classes ! Anyhow, I even appreciate the
excellent example above.......

Hello,
Can someone explain why my output is

500???
Thanks.

The code above
sx = iy.toString();
^^^^^ Please note this change
sy = iy.toString();
