How do you convert a string to a integer
[code]
out.print("Enter a time");
String s = scan.next();
char a = s.charAt(0);
char b = s.charAt(1);
int c = (int)a;
int d = (int)b;
int e = a*10;
int f = b*10;
[code/]
A person inputs number in a string
how bout it is 10
then how can i make the string multiply or to carry out calculations
So how do you put that 10 in a string and make it into an int so i can use calculations with it?
thank you

try{
	int intVersion = Integer.parseInt(stringVersion);
} catch(NumberFormatException e) {
	// Code to execute in the event that stringVersion isn't actually a Integer.
}

Where intVersion is the integer that stringVersion represents.

Look at the parseInt and valueOf methods in the Integer class.

[akash2004u]

use the parseInt Method of the Integer wrapper class


int i = Integer.parseInt("String to be converted");


make sure to catch this usually throws invalid number format exception

[ronaldjames]

You can also use

int int_value=Integer.decode("String to be converted");

OR

int int_value=Integer.valueOf("string to be converted");

You should throw NumberFormatException

As everyone says, Integer.parseInt() is the method to use.

Don't worry about all this catching of NumberFormatException. Plenty of time for that when your class covers exceptions. Teaching exceptions at the same time as converting String to int is like teaching gears to someone who is still trying to understand how a wheel works.
