Recallthatwehadusedthefollowingstatementinsampleprogramsdiscussedduringthelecture. number1=Integer.parseInt(args[0]); args[0] is of data type String. The String has to be converted it into a number before applying any mathematical operator. The method parseInt takes a string as an argument and converts it into data typeinteger.ThismethodisdefinedinclassInteger.Notehere,thatwearenotcreatinganyobjectof thisclass;ratherweareinvokingthemethodusingtheclassnameitself.Letusunderstandmoreabout classIntegerandthemethodparseInt().
