- The java.lang.Integer.toString() is an inbuilt method in Java which is used to return the String object representing this Integer’s value.
Syntax :
public static String toString()
Parameters: The method does not accept any parameters.
Return Value:The method returns the string object of the particular Integer value.
Below program illustrates the Java.lang.Integer.toString() method:
// Java program to illustrate the
// toString() Method
import
java.lang.*;
public
class
Geeks{
public
static
void
main(String[] args) {
Integer obj =
new
Integer(
8
);
//It will return a string representation
String stringvalue1 = obj.toString();
System.out.println(
"String Value= "
+
stringvalue1);
Integer obj3 =
new
Integer(
10
);
//It will return a string representation
String stringvalue3 = obj3.toString();
System.out.println(
"String Value = "
+
stringvalue3);
}
}
Output:String Value= 8 String Value = 10
- The java.lang.Integer.toString(int a) is an inbuilt method in Java which is used to return a String object, representing the specified integer in the parameter.
Syntax :public static String toString(int a)
Parameters: The method accepts one parameter a of integer type and refers to the integer needed to be converted to string.
Return Value: The method returns the string representation of the argument in a particular base.
Examples:
For base 8: Input: int a = 75 Output: "75" For base 10: Input: int a = -787 Output: "-787"
Below programs illustrate the Java.lang.Integer.toString(int a) method:
Program 1:// Java program to illustrate the
// toString(int a) method

void
main(String[] args) {
Integer obj =
new
Integer(
8
);
// It will return a string representation
// in base 8
String stringvalue1 = obj.toString(
75
);
System.out.println(
"String Value = "
+
stringvalue1);
Integer obj2 =
new
Integer(
8
);
// It will return a string representation
// in base 2
String stringvalue2 = obj2.toString(
6787
);
System.out.println(
"String Value = "
+
stringvalue2);
Integer obj3 =
new
Integer(
10
);
// It will return a string representation
// in base 10
String stringvalue3 = obj3.toString(-
787
);
System.out.println(
"String Value = "
+
stringvalue3);
}
}
Output:String Value = 75 String Value = 6787 String Value = -787
Program 2: For decimal and string parameters.
Note: This results in an error and as well for the absence of suitable Integer constructor.// Java program to illustrate the

- The java.lang.Integer.toString(int a, int base) is an inbuilt method in Java which is used to return a string representation of the argument a in the base, specified by the second argument base. If the radix/base is smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX, then the base 10 is used. The ASCII characters which are used as digits: 0 to 9 and a to z.
Syntax:public static String toString(int a, int base)
Parameter: The method accepts two parameters:
- a: This is of integer type and refers to the integer value that is to be converted.
- base: This is also of integer type and refers to the base that is to be used while representing the strings.
Return Value: The method returns a string representation of the specified argument in the specified base.
Examples:
Input: a = 71, base = 2 Output: 1000111 Input: a = 314, base = 16 Output: 13a
