How to convert an integer value to string?

Question

How do I convert an integer variable to a string variable in Java?

Answer 1

There are at least three ways to do it. Two have already been pointed out:

String s = String.valueOf(i);

String s = Integer.toString(i);

Another more concise way is:

String s = "" + i;

See it working online: ideone

This is particularly useful if the reason you are converting the integer to a string is in order to concatenate it to another string, as it means you can omit the explicit conversion:

System.out.println("The value of i is: " + i);
