Convert Char to Integer in Java

The document outlines three methods to convert a char representing a number into its corresponding integer value in Java: using Character.getNumericValue(), subtracting '0' from the char, and using Integer.parseInt() on a String. Each method is demonstrated with code examples, and it notes that the subtraction method is the most efficient for single-digit conversions. All methods effectively achieve the desired conversion.

To convert a char representing a number (e.g.

, '5') into its corresponding


integer value in Java, you can use the following methods:

1. Using [Link]()

This method converts a char to its numeric value.

Copy the codechar ch = '5';

int num = [Link](ch);

[Link](num); // Output: 5

2. Using Subtraction with '0'

Since characters representing digits ('0' to '9') are sequential in Unicode,


subtracting '0' from the char gives the integer value.

Copy the codechar ch = '5';

int num = ch - '0';

[Link](num); // Output: 5

3. Using [Link]()

If the char is part of a String, you can convert it using [Link]().

Copy the codechar ch = '5';

int num = [Link]([Link](ch));

[Link](num); // Output: 5

All these methods work effectively, but the second method (subtracting
'0') is the most efficient for single-digit conversions.
