trying to convert an int into string
String M;
if (milli2 == 1000)
{
// String M = new Integer(milli2).toString();
String a = milli2 + "";
String a = "M";
}
else if (milli2 == 2000)
{
//String (M + M) = new Integer(milli2).toString();
String a = milli2 + "";
String a = "MM";
}
else if (milli2 == 3000)
{
//String (M + M + M) = new Integer(milli2).toString();
String a = milli2 + "";
String a = "MMM";
}
else
System.out.println("here is your number " + a);
I have tried a few different ways to do this, none are working. Essentially milli2 has previously been initialized, it gets a number. Depending on the number I want it to get a M, MM or MMM.
Thanks in advance

Consider using a switch statement
//...
String a;
switch(milli2)
{
case 1000: a = "M"; break;
case 2000: a = "MM"; break;
case 3000: a = "MMM"; break;
default: a = "DEFAULT_VALUE"; break;
}
System.out.println("here is your number " + a);
//...
#
You could just use Integer.toString(int n)
or maybe even toString() alone will work for you.
int i;
String n;
String n = i.toString();
I'm pretty sure Java already has pre-built number-to-String conversions. There should be no reason to code your own.
Edit: N/m me ... helps if I read the entire question first.

You're welcome. It is important to notice how I declared the String variable _outside_ the switch-block, so as to make it visible to the System.out.println() call.
