    Hi and welcome to the forum ncode



    Convert String to Int. Also, I would like the conversion to produce and error if the data type is wrongly assign
    Your favorite search engine is the better place for a question so vague. The only way to answer that here is to break out a full lesson on the subject, or just post working code.



    Also, I would like the conversion to produce an error if the data type is wrongly assign.
    Didn't you just say that on the line above too?



    Do some research and post a question when you get stuck. Don't forget to include your code (in tags) and error messages.

    there is an Integer class called in java a wrapper class that converts a valid numerical String into a process-able integer number

    Integer (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)

    you dont need to worry about monitoring if the String being parsed is valid/invalid, this class will throw you an exception if you attempt passing an invalid String number
