In Java, type conversion mainly involves the following methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Implicit type conversion: Java will automatically perform type conversion when the destination type’s range is greater than the original type’s range, such as assigning an int type to a long type.<\/li>\n
  2. When the target type has a smaller range than the original type, it is necessary to use a type casting to convert the data, such as converting a long to an int.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    long<\/span> num1<\/span> =<\/span> 100<\/span>;\r\nint<\/span> num2<\/span> =<\/span> (int<\/span>) num1;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Automatic boxing and unboxing: The process of automatically converting between primitive data types and wrapper classes. Boxing is the conversion of a primitive data type into the corresponding wrapper class, while unboxing is the conversion of a wrapper class into the corresponding primitive data type.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      int<\/span> num1<\/span> =<\/span> 100<\/span>;\r\nInteger<\/span> num2<\/span> =<\/span> num1; \/\/ \u81ea\u52a8\u88c5\u7bb1<\/span>\r\n\r\nint<\/span> num3<\/span> =<\/span> num2; \/\/ \u81ea\u52a8\u62c6\u7bb1<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. String conversion: Using the static method valueOf() in the String class allows for converting data of other types into a string, while using the static method parseXXX() in the wrapper class allows for converting a string into the corresponding primitive data type.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        int<\/span> num1<\/span> =<\/span> 100<\/span>;\r\nString<\/span> str1<\/span> =<\/span> String.valueOf(num1); \/\/ int\u8f6c\u6362\u4e3aString<\/span>\r\n\r\nString<\/span> str2<\/span> =<\/span> \"200\"<\/span>;\r\nint<\/span> num2<\/span> =<\/span> Integer.parseInt(str2); \/\/ String\u8f6c\u6362\u4e3aint<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
