Reg. Integer literals

[Sunita]

Hi,
I would likt know how to convert numbers from hexadecimal format to decimal and Vice versa.
For ex:
int i=0xf;
then the value of i in decimal format is 15.(This is clear).

But
if int i=0xff or i=0xffe
then what's the value of i in decimal format?
Regards

Hi Sunita
The hexadecimal representation is for the convenience of the
programmer for assignment and output. Internally ints are stored as bytes (binary). Two things on changing the representation:
int i = 0xFF;
System.out.println(i);
This will display the int as a decimal.
The wrapper class java.lang.Integer offers a few conversion methods (mostly static) that allow you to output the Integer in any of the representations returning a string.
int i = 10;
String s = new String(Integer.toHexString(i));
System.out.println(s);
Finally you can parse an int from a string giving the radix you want to use:
int j = Integer.parseInt("FF", 16);
System.out.println(j);
//output is 255
Just write some code with the java.lang.Integer class and find
out about all the representations.
Hope this will help
