casting int as String

[B J H]

I want to do the following

int [] list;
String list;
i int;
.....
for (i=0; i<int.length, i++_
{
list.concat(lis t[i]);
list.concat(" ");
}

But list.concat expects a string, and I'm putting a int into it - how can I
make this work? How can I put an int into string.concat?

Thanks

Substitute

String list

with

StringBuffer list = new StringBuffer();

list.append(lis t[i]);

When you want the resultant string

do list.toString() ;

What are you trying to concatenate here? A string representing the
numerical digits in the int (ie, if list[i]=12345, you want to append
"12345" to your String), _or_ do you want to append the character with
the matching Unicode (or current codepage) value to your String (ie: if
list[i]=65, you want to append "A" to your String)?

If you can explain what it is you're trying to achieve, someone should
be able to help you better.

Sorry,

I have an array of integers. I want to create a string of these integers
with a space in between each one.

E.g.

int [] intarray;
String integerlist;

If the array contains say
10
12
15
45
51

then i want the string to look like this
"10 12 15 45 51"

Any suggestions ?

int[] intarray = {10, 12, 15, 45, 51 };

StringBuffer spaceSepInteger s =
new StringBuffer(in tarray.length * 2);

for (int i = 0; i < intarray.length ; ++i)
spaceSepInteger s.append(Intege r.toString(inta rray[i])).append(" ");

String integerlist = spaceSepInteger s.toString().tr im();

Crude but simple !

I hope this helps.

Thank you. I finally implemented it like this...

public String displayMarks()
{
StringBuffer list = new StringBuffer();
for (i=0; i < nummark; i++)
{
list.append(mar ks[i]);
list.append(" ");
}
return list.toString() ;
}

This seems to work fine me at the moment. The length of the array is
unknown, I hope that I don't run into problems if the array turns out to be
hundreds of integers long! :)

Thanks.

First off, you have to convert from int to String. There are a few
ways of doing this. Assuming 'i' is an integer:

0) Use Integer.toStrin g(i)
1) Use (""+i), or
2) Use something akin to the following:

StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
sb.append(i);

If you're going to be appending a bunch of ints together, use the last
option (#2) above -- it's quite a bit more efficient than the other two.
