Convert String to Int to compare values <,>

I have these strings

Code:

        String X1 = this.getConfig().getString("Location" + ".x");
        String Y1 = this.getConfig().getString("Location" + ".y");
        String Z1 = this.getConfig().getString("Location" + ".z");

which are obtained from the config.yml file and they are numbers like
x: 69
y: 67
z: 241

What I need is to convert those Strings into Int so I can then do a bigger than or smaller than that I need
Thanks in advanced

 

@tomisanhues3 To get an integer from a string, you can use

Code:

Integer.parseInt(String s);

 

Or simply use the method

getInt("Location" + ".x");

 

@Chloe-chan Unnecessary string concatenation (I guess it is assumed that the OP isn't using "Location" though)

 

But since they are literal strings, they are concatenated at compile-time, and not at runtime.

 

Doesn't make it right though. Still bad practice

 

Guys, off-topic...

I'm simply replying it based on how OP phrased his methods.

 

@tommyhoogstra
I don't know if I'd call it bad practise, but it definitely seems superfluous in this case

Either way, @Chloe-chan 's solution is probably the best one here, regardless of the concatenation thing

 

Not bad practice. In some cases it makes it more readable.
