who can tell what is the method parseInt( )?

int i = 5;
int j = i.parseInt("6");
what is the result and how to use the method parseInt( )?

string s="1234";
int Nb=Integer.parseInt("1234");// Nb==1234(an int)

parseInt(String) is a method used to convert the string into its equivalent integer value.But this should be applied with care.One should use it only when u are sure the string contains only numerals.
eg
String s="1234"
int i=Integer.parseInt(s);
its perfect
but
String s="abcd"
int i=Integer.parseInt(s);
Its not right.

yes vdeepak is right.
I didn't pay attention.
I should have done
int nb=Integer.parseInt(s)// Where s="1234"
So this method convert a string to an int.
But you can convert a string to a double too, like this:
Double nb=Double.parseDouble(s)

You can cast an int to a double, but not the way
you've suggested. Firstly, Double is a wrapper class and is treated as an object not a primitive
value. There's a big difference between Double and
double. Additionally, there is no parseDouble() method available in the Double class.
When using explicit casts you need to understand the difference between a narrowing conversion and a widening conversion. You can't explicitly cast a
double value to an int, but, you can cast an int to a double. A good book that describes this better than I can is "The Complete Java 2 Certification Guide" published by Sybex.
Here's some sample code to cast the int i to a double.
public class NumberCasts {
static String s="1234";
static int i=Integer.parseInt(s);
static double d = (double)i;
public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Variable d = " + d);
}
}
The output is "Variable d = 1234.0"

Sorry if my post was confused.
My english is not fluent.
In fact I was talking about string not int.

int nb=Integer.parseInt(s)// Where s="1234"

You can see that 1234 is between quote. It is a string.
YOU SAID

Additionally, there is no parseDouble() method available in the Double class.

This method exist see at the JAVA 1.3 API

parseDouble
public static double parseDouble(String s)
throws NumberFormatExceptionReturns a new double initialized to the value represented by the specified String, as performed by the valueOf method of class Double.
Parameters:
s - the string to be parsed.
Returns:
the double value represented by the string argument.
Throws:
NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable double.
Since:
1.2

valueOf(String)

Hope it helps!!!

As stated by Brent

Here's some sample code to cast the int i to a double.
public class NumberCasts {
static String s="1234";
static int i=Integer.parseInt(s);
static double d = (double)i;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Variable d = " + d);
}
}
The output is "Variable d = 1234.0"

You don't need an expicit cast when assigning an int value to a double variable.
The following code will also work fine .

static int i=Integer.parseInt(s); static double d = i;

this code will work also

It Will Work Fine (I hope)
