Question

I want to create a Java counter that counts the amount of wins a person has in a game. I tried the following:

int winCount=0;
winCounter=new Label(int winCount);

Eclipse tells me to convert winCount into a string, but I need it to work mathematically. How can I do this?

Answer 1

To convert winCount to a string when creating the label:

int winCount = 0;
winCounter = new Label(Integer.toString(winCount));

To convert back to an integer from the label’s value:

winCount = Integer.parseInt(winCounter.getText());
