converting from objects to primitive types

[Judy Liddle]

I am grabbing data from a hashmap.
I am not sure if I am most efficiently getting int values.
I am currently casting to (Integer) and then using intValue().
Integer iNMC = (Integer) row.get("NMC");
int FMC = iFMC.intValue();
Is there a more efficient way to do this?

You could reduce it to this and avoid a bit of overhead.
int FMC = ((Integer) row.get("NMC")).intValue();
Otherwise, I don't think there is anything else you can do.
