Binary value in java 6

Question

I have this binary value :

11001001111001010010010010011010.

In java 7, if I declare:

int value = 0b11001001111001010010010010011010;

and print the value I get -907729766.

How can I achieve this in Java 6 as well?

Answer 1

You have to parse it as a long first, then narrow it into int.

String s = "11001001111001010010010010011010";
int i = (int)Long.parseLong(s, 2); //2 = binary
System.out.println(i);

Prints:

-907729766
