Integer
class wraps a value of the primitive type
int
in an object. An object of type Integer
contains a single field whose type is int
.
Integer
class wraps a value of the primitive type
int
in an object. An object of type Integer
contains a single field whose type is int

In addition, this class provides several methods for converting
an int
to a String
and a String
to an
int
, as well as other constants and methods useful when
dealing with an int
.
This is a value-based class; programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.
Implementation note: The implementations of the "bit twiddling"
methods (such as highestOneBit
and
numberOfTrailingZeros
) are
based on material from Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s Hacker's
Delight, (Addison Wesley, 2002).

The returned list implements the optional Collection
methods, except
those that would change the size of the returned list. Those methods leave
the list unchanged and throw UnsupportedOperationException
.
Collection.toArray()
.
This method provides a way to wrap an existing array:
Integer[] numbers = ...
...
List<Integer> values = Arrays.asList(numbers);
This method also provides a convenient way to create a fixed-size list initialized to contain several elements:
List<String> stooges = Arrays.asList("Larry", "Moe", "Curly");
The list returned by this method is modifiable.
To create an unmodifiable list, use
Collections.unmodifiableList
or Unmodifiable Lists.

- the array by which the list will be backedNullPointerException
- if the specified array is null
The methods in this class all throw a NullPointerException
,
if the specified array reference is null, except where noted.
The documentation for the methods contained in this class includes
brief descriptions of the implementations. Such descriptions should
be regarded as implementation notes, rather than parts of the
specification. Implementors should feel free to substitute other
algorithms, so long as the specification itself is adhered to. (For
example, the algorithm used by sort(Object[])
does not have to be
a MergeSort, but it does have to be stable.)
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.
Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements. More formally,
lists typically allow pairs of elements e1
and e2
such that e1.equals(e2)
, and they typically allow multiple
null elements if they allow null elements at all. It is not inconceivable
that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by
throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we
expect this usage to be rare.
The List
interface places additional stipulations, beyond those
specified in the Collection
interface, on the contracts of the
iterator
, add
, remove
, equals
, and
hashCode
methods. Declarations for other inherited methods are
also included here for convenience.
The List
interface provides four methods for positional (indexed)
access to list elements. Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based. Note
that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value
for some implementations (the LinkedList
class, for
example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically
preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the
implementation.
The List
interface provides a special iterator, called a
ListIterator
, that allows element insertion and replacement, and
bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the
Iterator
interface provides. A method is provided to obtain a
list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.
The List
interface provides two methods to search for a specified
object. From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with
caution. In many implementations they will perform costly linear
searches.
The List
interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and
remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.
Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements,
extreme caution is advised: the equals
and hashCode
methods are no longer well defined on such a list.
Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that
they may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null elements,
and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to
add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically
NullPointerException
or ClassCastException
. Attempting
to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception,
or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former
behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an
operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in
the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an
exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation.
Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this
interface.
The List.of
and
List.copyOf
static factory methods
provide a convenient way to create unmodifiable lists. The List
instances created by these methods have the following characteristics:
UnsupportedOperationException
to be thrown.
However, if the contained elements are themselves mutable,
this may cause the List's contents to appear to change.
null
elements. Attempts to create them with
null
elements result in NullPointerException
.
subList
views implement the
RandomAccess
interface.
This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

differ from enumerations in two ways:

Enumeration
can be converted into an Iterator

using the Enumeration.asIterator()
method.String

, are

Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they are created. String buffers support mutable strings. Because String objects are immutable they can be shared. For example:
String str = "abc";
is equivalent to:
char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'}; String str = new String(data);
Here are some more examples of how strings can be used:
System.out.println("abc"); String cde = "cde"; System.out.println("abc" + cde); String c = "abc".substring(2, 3); String d = cde.substring(1, 2);
The class String
includes methods for examining
individual characters of the sequence, for comparing strings, for
searching strings, for extracting substrings, and for creating a
copy of a string with all characters translated to uppercase or to
lowercase. Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version
specified by the Character
class.
The Java language provides special support for the string concatenation operator ( + ), and for conversion of other objects to strings. For additional information on string concatenation and conversion, see The Java Language Specification.
Unless otherwise noted, passing a null
argument to a constructor
or method in this class will cause a NullPointerException
to be
thrown.
A String
represents a string in the UTF-16 format
in which supplementary characters are represented by surrogate
pairs (see the section Unicode
Character Representations in the Character
class for
more information).
Index values refer to char
code units, so a supplementary
character uses two positions in a String
.
The String
class provides methods for dealing with
Unicode code points (i.e., characters), in addition to those for
dealing with Unicode code units (i.e., char
values).
Unless otherwise noted, methods for comparing Strings do not take locale
into account. The Collator
class provides methods for
finer-grain, locale-sensitive String comparison.
javac
compiler
may implement the operator with StringBuffer
, StringBuilder
,
or java.lang.invoke.StringConcatFactory
depending on the JDK version. The
implementation of string conversion is typically through the method toString

For simple stand-alone Java applications, a typical way to write a line of output data is:
System.out.println(data)
See the println
methods in class PrintStream
.
