Hi Calvin
This will help you. You can read more about the Integer class

parseInt
public static int parseInt(
String s,
int radix)
throws NumberFormatException
Parses the string argument as a signed integer in the radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the string must all be digits of the specified radix (as determined by whether Character.digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value. The resulting integer value is returned.
An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:
The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus sign '-' ('\u002D') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
The value represented by the string is not a value of type int.
Examples:
parseInt("0", 10) returns 0
parseInt("473", 10) returns 473
parseInt("-0", 10) returns 0
parseInt("-FF", 16) returns -255
parseInt("1100110", 2) returns 102
parseInt("2147483647", 10) returns 2147483647
parseInt("-2147483648", 10) returns -2147483648
parseInt("2147483648", 10) throws a NumberFormatException
parseInt("99", 8) throws a NumberFormatException
parseInt("Kona", 10) throws a NumberFormatException
parseInt("Kona", 27) returns 411787
Parameters:
s - the String containing the integer representation to be parsed
radix - the radix to be used while parsing s.
Returns:
the integer represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Throws:
NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain a parsable int.
