Objects to variables

Hi. Some of you may havve seen the connection between this and my last post.

Basically the problem is I have to compare two int values passed in to a method.

The code which my tutor gave me declares integers as objects

Code:

---

new Integer ( 12 );

---

Does anyone know how I convert this to an int? :confused:

try Integer.intValue()

and probably you could also say

Integer1.equals(Integer2)

to compare them
