It converts a data type to a string. E.g: int n=3; String s=Integer.toString(n); //now s also stores 3 as its value. now, you can manipulate the number using string methods note: Thanks Dan Walker for telling my mistake. We should use wrapper class to convert a data type to a string.

For example: int x = 5; string con = x.ToString();

Muhd Khairul Amirin Bin Yaacob Nitrocell Just to point out a primitive int won't have access to toString(), it should be an object (like Integer)

Aruna Devi this is almost the same as previous answers, and also has the error that int, as a primitive, has no methods so you cannot invoke toString() on it
