[solved]getting an int from a string?

So if a player types /mycommand args
and the args contain an int rather then a string.
how would i use this like an int say if i wanted to do args[0] + args[2]?

 

Integer.parseInt(someString) must be surrounded with a try/catch

 

You could do something like this using Integer.parseInt(String)

Code:java

 
int a = 0;
int b = 0;
try {
a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
b = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
} catch(NumberFormatException ex) {}
 
 
System.out.println(a + b);

ok so i made a new variable and added them together how would i send the answer variable as a string to a player?

Code:

int result = a + b;
player.sendMessage(result);

 

yeah that's what i did xD it says The method sendMessage(String) in the type CommandSender is not applicable for the arguments (int)

 

String.valueOf(result);

 

I prefer something like 1024+"". Just add "" to the int and it'll be a string.

 

Note that you do not need to surround the method in try/catch blocks, but it is advised unless you know that whatever you are converting to an integer consists of an integer every time.

 

thanks everyone for the help.
