Integer.valueOf() vs. Integer.parseInt() [duplicate]

Actually, valueOf uses parseInt internally. The difference is parseInt returns an int primitive while valueOf returns an Integer object. Consider from the Integer.class source:

public static int parseInt(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
    return parseInt(s, 10);
}

public static Integer valueOf(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException {
    return Integer.valueOf(parseInt(s, radix));
}

public static Integer valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
    return Integer.valueOf(parseInt(s, 10));
}

As for parsing with a comma, I’m not familiar with one. I would sanitize them.

int million = Integer.parseInt("1,000,000".replace(",", ""));
