Groovy - toString()

The method is used to get a String object representing the value of the Number Object.

If the method takes a primitive data type as an argument, then the String object representing the primitive data type value is returned.

If the method takes two arguments, then a String representation of the first argument in the radix specified by the second argument will be returned.

Syntax

String toString() 
static String toString(int i)

Parameters

i − An int for which string representation would be returned.

Return Value

• toString() − This returns a String object representing the value of this Integer.

• toString(int i) − This returns a String object representing the specified integer.

Example

Following is an example of the usage of this method −

class Example { 
   static void main(String[] args) { 
      Integer x = 5;
		
      System.out.println(x.toString()); 
      System.out.println(Integer.toString(12)); 
   } 
}

When we run the above program, we will get the following result −
