To convert String to int in Java you can use one of the following options-
- Integer.parseInt(String str) method which returns the passed String as int.
- Integer.valueOf(String str) method which returns the passed String as Integer.
Java example to convert String to int using Integer.parseInt()
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
public class StringToInt { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "12"; try{ int num = Integer.parseInt(str); System.out.println("value - " + num); // can be used in arithmetic operations now System.out.println(num+"/3 = " + num/3); }catch(NumberFormatException exp){ System.out.println("Error in conversion " + exp.getMessage()); } } } |
Output
|
1 2 |
value - 12 12/3 = 4 |
Java example to convert String to int using Integer.valueOf
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
public class StringToInt { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "12"; try{ Integer num = Integer.valueOf(str); System.out.println("value - " + num); // can be used in arithmetic operations now System.out.println(num+"/3 = " + num/3); }catch(NumberFormatException exp){ System.out.println("Error in conversion " + exp.getMessage()); } } } |
Output
|
1 2 |
value - 12 12/3 = 4 |
In this example you can see that valueOf() method returns Integer object, because of autoboxing it can directly be used as int value though.
NumberFormatException
In the examples you can see a try-catch block which catches NumberFormatException which is thrown if an invalid number string is passed for converting to int.

public class StringToInt { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "123ab"; try{ Integer num = Integer.valueOf(str); System.out.println("value - " + num); // can be used in arithmetic operations now System.out.println(num+"/3 = " + num/3); }catch(NumberFormatException exp){ System.out.println("Error in conversion " + exp.getMessage()); throw exp; } } } |
Output

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
