Problems converting Integer to String

Question

I am trying to add two numbers together from EditText fields. So far I have the code below that I believe converts the EditText field \'pos1_deg\' & \'pos2_deg\' into in

Answer 1

When you concatanate a String to a non-String the result is a String.

e.g.

int deg1 = 5;
int deg2 = 4;
result.setText("" + deg1 + deg2): // passes in "45" (a String)
result.setText("" + (deg1 + deg2)): // passes in "9" (a String)
result.setText(deg1 + deg2); // passes in 9 (an int), compile error
