parsing - In Java, how do I parse a string bigger than int size

Question

I have a string bigger than 2,147,483,647 and I need to parse it. Integer.parseInt doesn't do they job, it throws an exception.

Answer 1

Integer.parseInt couldn't do the job, unless you were happy to lose data. Think about what you're asking for here.

Try Long.parseLong(String) or new BigInteger(String) for really big integers.
