Convert String Type Variables into Int in Java

public class IntToString {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int num1 = 98; 
    String str1 = String.valueOf(num1);
    System.out.println(str1);    
  }
}

• This program carries out the task of transforming a given string value into its Integer equivalent.
• For the conversion purpose valueOfmethod of Integer class, is employed.
• First a String type variables str1 is declared.
• Then the variable is passed to valueOf() method as argument.
• The very next step involves the assignment of the resulting value to int type variable num1.
• Finally, the result is displayed.
• This method valueOf() differs from parseInt() in a sense that it first converts the values into an integer object then those objects are turned into integer values.
• This process is termed as ‘unboxing’, specifically in Java.
