Thread: reading string input then casting it to an int?

hi,

if someone inputs a number in a word (i.e. "two"), how can i take that input and convert it to an int?

that link is for converting an integer value to a String. Cuju has the right idea, though

I deleted it by accident lol, here it is again:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
 
 
public class ConvertString {
 
public static void main(String args[]) {
 
String input = "";
int number = 0;
Scanner key = new Scanner(System.in);
 
System.out.println("Enter a number");
input = key.next();
 
//CompareTo function
if(input.compareToIgnoreCase("two")==0) {
	number = 2;
	System.out.println(number);
}
 
//equals function
else if(input.equals("three")) {
	number = 3;
	System.out.println(number);
}
 
 
 
}
}
