C and C++ programmers are accustomed to using the atoi() function to convert strings to numeric integer values. Although Java doesn’t have an atoi() method, it provides the same capability by way of the more obscure static parseInt() method of the Integer class. This code was tested using JDK1.1.6 under Win95.
class atoi02{ public static void main(String[] args){ int num = Integer.parseInt("-3625"); System.out.println( "The value of the int variable num is " + num); }//end main()}//end class atoi02
