Solved Multiplying strings and turning it into another string

Alright, so currently I'm making a small little prison plugin of my own and wanted to add multipliers to the plugin. Basically, instead of mining items and then clicking a sign/npc/using a command, I want it to just destroy the block and give me money. So I got that part done and it worked great. But I came across an issue. For some reason, I get an error saying "The operator * is undefined for the argument type(s) String, int" when I try to multiply the booster number (taken from the config) by 10. Here's what I put:

Code:

 
   String b = getConfig().getString("Booster/Multiplier Value");
   String v = b * 10;

I'm not sure if I'm making a silly little mistake, or just completely doing it wrong. Help would be appreciated.

 

You need to convert the string to an int
int test = Integer.parseInt(b);
Then do int v = test * 10

 

Thanks! I didn't know you had to convert the string first. I spent 20 minutes staring at that code

 

Or use config#getInt("YourPath");
