Converting an int to String using just one object

[Prakash Prabhu]

Hi,

Is it possible to convert a int value to String using less than 2 objects ?
Two ways of doing it are like :

1. String strValue = Integer.parseInt(value).toString() ;

2. String strValue = "" + value;

In each case two objects are used :

1. The Integer object , the final String object
2. The StringBuffer object , the final String object

Here "value" is an int variable

Are there any other methods ?

Please do excuse if this sounds like a dumb question, but I
would just like to know the best way of converting an int to String.


Thanks,
Prakash

Use

String strValue = String.valueOf(value);

which is same as calling

String strValue = Integer.toString(value);
