so when casting like in the statement below :-

int randomNumber=(int) (Math.random()*5)

it causes the random no. generated to get converted into an int..

Also there's this method I just came across Integer.parseInt() which does the same !

i.e return an integer

Why two different ways to make a value an int ?

Also I made a search and it says parseInt() takes string as an argument.. So does this mean that parseInt() is ONLY to convert String into integer ?

What about this casting then (int) ?? Can we use this to convert a string to an int too ?

sorry if it sounds like a dumb question..I am just confused and trying to understand

Help ?
