How to convert int array into int

Currently i started reading a book about alogirthms so I'm now trying some very simple algorithms to get comfortable with converting and so on.. In this small class I want to enable a school adding function with carry.

How can i convert the resulting Int Array into an int? I do not know how to convert them adequate..

The current result is [7, 8, 3, 7, 9, 0, 5, 6] and I want to concat the numbers into one Integer of (78379056). Which possibilities do I have?

public class Addition {

    public int[] addiere(int[] a, int[] b) {
        int res = 0;
        int[] c = new int[a.length];
        for(int i = a.length-1 ; i>=0 ; i--) {
            res = a[i]+b[i];
            if(res>=10) {
                c[i] = oneValue(res);
                a[i-1]+=1;
            } else c[i]=res;
            System.out.println("a -- "+a[i]+"  b -- "+b[i]+"  c -- "+c[i]);
        }
        return c;
    }

    public int oneValue(int t) {
        String res;
        int val;
        res=Integer.toString(t);

        res = res.substring(res.length()-1);
        val = Integer.parseInt(res);

        return val;

    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int[] a = {3,4,6,8,9,1,2,4};
        int[] b = {4,2,5,7,8,9,3,2};

        Addition add = new Addition();
        int[] result;

        //returns an array of Integers
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(add.addiere(a, b)));

        result = add.addiere(a, b);

        //HERE should be a method to convert the result ( Array of Integers ) just into a normal integer
    }

}

Eventually, you could multiply each number by a power of 10 and add them together. For example this code will return "1234".

int[] array = {1, 2, 3, 4};
int total = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
    if(array[i] > 9 && array[i] < 0)
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Only use digits");
    else
        total += array[i] * Math.pow(10, array.length - i - 1);
System.out.println(total);

It works in all cases, except cases with number. Make sure you handle the error.

(be carrefull to Integer.MAX_VALUE)

Given the array

int arr[] = { 7, 8, 3, 7, 9, 0, 5, 6 };

you can simply do:

long num = Long.parseLong(Arrays.stream(arr)
                                .mapToObj(String::valueOf)
                                .collect(Collectors.joining()));

which outputs

78379056

Explanation:

  1. In the mapToObj(...) we convert each element from an int to a String using the valueOf method.
  2. Next, we collect each of these individual Strings into one String by means of Collectors.joining()
  3. Now, we convert this String into a long. You can read up more about streams from the docs here

We use long here just in case the number is too big to be contained in an int.

You can use BigInteger to hold the number which is more than int max size as well as you can avoid NumberFormatException.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] ary = {2,1,4,7,4,8,3,6,4,7};

        StringBuilder numBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        for(int num:ary) {
            numBuilder.append(num);
        }
        BigInteger maxInt = BigInteger.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
        BigInteger finalNum = new BigInteger(numBuilder.toString());
        if(finalNum.compareTo(maxInt)>0) {
            //number is more the max size
            System.out.println("number is more than int max size");
        }else {
            int result = finalNum.intValueExact();
            System.out.println(result);
        }

    }

You can either convert the array into a String and use Integer.parseInt() to get this result or you use a simple loop adding up the numbers multiplied by 10 with their position exponent:

int r = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
    r += result[i] * Math.pow(10, result.length - i - 1);
}

I would prefer this solution.

The result for the array [7, 8, 3, 7, 9, 0, 5, 6] is 78379056.

Beside that you should consider using long instead of int if you have numbers out of the int range (78379056).

Edit: Here is a solution with Integer.parseInt():

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for (int i : result) {
    builder.append(i);
}
int r = Integer.parseInt(builder.toString());

Alternatively you can take a look at Nicholas K's answer.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] a =  {7, 8, 3, 7, 9, 0, 5, 6};


        int m = 1;
        int r = 0;

        for (int i=a.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
            r = a[i] * m + r;
            m = m * 10;
        }

        System.out.println(r);
    }

prints:

78379056
