convert integer to string

[AlnavPlatinum]

In java, how do you convert an integer to a string?

1 = '1'

Thanks

int value=5;
String str=Integer.toString(value);

I alwys used following as ComputerJy used,

int int_value=100;
String string_value=Integer.toString(int_value);

> String str=""+5;

Not a good idea. This creates a temporary StringBuilder.

Yeah I know, but there are people who still do it that way

Like me, but being lazy is my excuse.

All the more reason not to show new people this approach, or say that it's not good, no?
