Why Integer.getInteger does not work?

Question

I have the following code:

game.log.fine(\"HERE\" + bestMove.get(\"score\"));
Integer bestScore = Integer.getInteger(bestMove.get(\"score\"));
game.log.fine(         


        

Answer 1

I would use the Integer.valueOf(String n) method.

Integer bestScore = Integer.valueOf(bestMove.get("score"));

From this blog, the reason they gave,

Integer.getInteger(String) converts a String to a number by assuming the String is the name of a system property numeric representation. In other words. Integer.getInteger("12345") is likely to yield null.
