Converting a string to int in Groovy

Question

I have a String that represents an integer value and would like to convert it to an int  Is there a groovy equivalent of Java s Integer parseInt String

User · Answer

The way to use should still be the toInteger(), because it is not really deprecated.

int value = '99'.toInteger()

The String version is deprecated, but the CharSequence is an Interface that a String implements. So, using a String is ok, because your code will still works even when the method will only work with CharSequence. Same goes for isInteger()

See this question for reference : How to convert a String to CharSequence?

I commented, because the notion of deprecated on this method got me confuse and I want to avoid that for other people.

As an addendum to Don s answer  not only does groovy add a  toInteger   method to Strings  it also adds toBigDecimal    toBigInteger    toBoolean    toCharacter    toDouble    toFloat    toList    and toLong     In the same vein  groovy also adds is  eqivalents to all of those that return true if the String in question can be parsed into the format in question   The relevant GDK page is here

Use the toInteger   method to convert a String to an Integer  e g   int value    99  toInteger     An alternative  which avoids using a deprecated method  see below  is  int value    66  as Integer   If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion  use   String number    66   if  number isInteger        int value   number as Integer     Deprecation Update  In recent versions of Groovy one of the  toInteger   methods has been deprecated  The following is taken from org codehaus groovy runtime StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2 4 4         Parse a CharSequence into an Integer        param self a CharSequence     return an Integer     since 1 8 2     public static Integer toInteger CharSequence self        return Integer valueOf self toString   trim                deprecated Use the CharSequence version     see  toInteger CharSequence       Deprecated public static Integer toInteger String self        return toInteger  CharSequence  self       You can force the non-deprecated version of the method to be called using something awful like   int num     CharSequence   66   toInteger     Personally  I much prefer   int num   66 as Integer

I m not sure if it was introduced in recent versions of groovy  initial answer is fairly old   but now you can use   def num   mystring  isInteger     mystring toInteger     null   or  def num   mystring  isFloat     mystring toFloat     null   I recommend using floats or even doubles instead of integers in the case if the provided string is unreliable
