7. Java: Subtract '0' from char to get an int... why does this work?    stackoverflow.com

This works fine:

int foo = bar.charAt(1) - '0';
Yet this doesn't - because bar.charAt(x) returns a char:

It seems that subtracting '0' from the char is casting it to an ...

15. convert string chars to int    coderanch.com

There are actually a lot of ways to parse out those numeric values. An easy way is to get the value using the substring(int startpos,int endpos) method and then use Integer.parseInt(String value) method upon it. Be aware that a RuntimeException (NumberFormatException) is thrown by the parseInt method. If you do not catch it, it will throw an exception if the String ...

20. Converting an int to a char    coderanch.com

Just reiterating that the method mentioned in the second post will not work as you are trying to cast an object (Integer) into a simple type (char). This should throw a compile time exception.

22. cast of int to char    coderanch.com

conversions Are performed automatically when mixed numeric types appear within an expression. Variables and constants are not altered, but their values are copied to intermediate areas of larger size or precision to prevent possible data loss during the calculation. This is known as a "widening" conversion. The order of conversion (from narrowest to widest) is as follows: byte | short char ...

Well, you can't. Both 'B' and 'b' are converted to 11 by the getNumericValue() method, just for one example. There are about 10 different Unicode characters that are converted to 1 -- you can find out what they are by writing a simple test program. In my experience answering these questions, usually people who are using getNumericValue() don't understand what it ...

34. getting ascii char from int only seems to work if int is less than 127    coderanch.com

Another problem is that "ASCII" is meaningless beyond decimal 127. (And 127 is the DELETE character, so you can't see it.) There have been a number of different versions of "extended ASCII" assigning characters to values 128-255, but there is no one standard. Java uses Unicode, which for the first 256 characters is the same as ISO-8859-1. The fact that you ...

You can use / 10 and % 10.

44. Can't Find Symbol Method CharAt(Int),Can't Find Symbol Method IsDigit(Char)    forums.oracle.com

Although a method name can be any legal identifier, code conventions restrict method names.

48. Can I store char value in int ?    forums.oracle.com

char represents a 2 byte unsigned integral type. It is treated specially by some language features and methods, but under the hood, it's really just a short unsigned int. Since all values that fit into a char will safely fit into an int, Java lets you assign a char value to an int and will implicitly widen the integer value stored ...

49. Int to char and general question    forums.oracle.com

Firstly, when I use the getNumericValue. what value am I getting? Because it's not ASCII, and I don't believe it's Unicode either, or is it (can't find a table to confirm this)? Secondly, how do I get a char back from the int I've gained from the getNumbericValue method. So I've the numeric value for 'a' is 10, but I wanna ...

51. why char is accepting final int only .    forums.oracle.com

Basically because in the second case the compiler consideres i to be equivalent to a compile-time constant (since it can easily tell with absolute certainty which value i has when the assignment to c happens). In the first case it is considered a variable and since an int is not guaranteed to fit into a char, you'll have to cast to ...

53. Int to Char...I don't know what the problem is here    forums.oracle.com

And for that matter, use increment/decrement assignment operators (like += and -=) instead of verbosely repeating the variable. And if you're going to use character-by-character case conversion, use the methods in Character don't do it like a C programmer circa 1982. And if this is anything other than a homework assignment, use encryption code provided in the JDK; don't reinvent it. ...

54. combine two ints into a long without using chars or strings.    forums.oracle.com

Hi I have two ints and i need to combine (not add) them into a long value. The reason for this is because I need the make keys for a DB containing both values. eg. int1 = 3567453647 int2= 6368535795 long combination = combine(int1, int2); and the value of combination should be 35674536476368535795 I know you can doing it by turning ...

55. Difference between char and int    forums.oracle.com

You could write your own parser, including your own tokenizer, from the ground up, using the methods in the String and Character classes, and maybe some regex to tokenize and then stacks and other data structures for the parsing. However, for all but very trivial cases, that will be well beyond your current ability.

56. Assignment of integer numerals to char    forums.oracle.com

Integer literals are of type int, so char c = 1 trying to put the int 1 on the RHS into the char c on the LHS. In general, you need to cast when you're trying to assign an int value to a char, but in this case the int expression is a compile time constant, so the compiler knows that ...
