String manipulation
am a beginner Java programmer so bear with me. I have a question about a project I am working on. I want to receive an
integer (max 30 digits) from the user, then count how many odd, even, and zeros was entered. I have the logic down right:
using modulus to determine if odd or even, and using the ASCII code for zero to determine if it is a zero.
My question is do I need to convert the string to an int or leave it as a string. I am a bit puzzled as how this works.
Any help in the form of example code or relative support would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

A 30 digit number is very large. Not sure if it fits into integer or long.
You can do it this way if you want without converting the input into an integer or long.
1. Read in the number from the console. It will be a string.
2. Check the last digit of the number for whether it is even or odd. The last digit determines eveness or oddness.
3. Loop through the string from beginning to end, counting evens, odds, and zeros.

Sorry, I didn't notice about the 30 digits max. If it's that long, you should use a BigInteger object instead:
BigInteger number = new BigInteger("99999999999999
BigInteger remainder = number.mod(new BigInteger("2"));
System.out.println("Odd: " + (remainder.intValue() != 0));
System.out.println("Even: " + (remainder.intValue() == 0));
System.out.println("isZero
BigInteger number = new BigInteger("99999999999999
BigInteger remainder = number.mod(new BigInteger("2"));
System.out.println("Odd: " + (remainder.intValue() != 0));
System.out.println("Even: " + (remainder.intValue() == 0));
System.out.println("isZero

The last line should be:
System.out.println("Is zero: " + (number.signum() == 0));
System.out.println("Is zero: " + (number.signum() == 0));
If you wish to discover the properties of the individual digits, then it looks like you've got it pretty well taped. No, you don't need to convert it to a numerical value.

I appreciate everyone's help in this matter. I decided to leave it as a string then compare each digit in a for loop.
It is probably more coding than necessary but it worked.
Code below:
public void process(){
String integerString = getIntegerString();
int evenDigits = 0;
int oddDigits = 0;
int zeroDigits = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < integerString.length(); i++){
char c = integerString.charAt(i);
if (c == '0') zeroDigits++;
if (c == '0') evenDigits++;
if (c == '1') oddDigits++;
if (c == '2') evenDigits++;
if (c == '3') oddDigits++;
if (c == '4') evenDigits++;
if (c == '5') oddDigits++;
if (c == '6') evenDigits++;
if (c == '7') oddDigits++;
if (c == '8') evenDigits++;
if (c == '9') oddDigits++;
}
System.out.println(integer
+ evenDigits + " even digits, "
+ oddDigits + " odd digits, and "
+ zeroDigits + " zero digits.");
}

}
System.out.println(integer
+ evenDigits + " even digits, "
+ oddDigits + " odd digits, and "

Yes, you could do:
for (int i = 0; i < integerString.length(); i++){
char c = integerString.charAt(i);
if ((c % 2) == 0) {
evenDigits++;
}
else {
oddDigits++
}
if (c == '0') zeroDigits++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < integerString.length(); i++){
char c = integerString.charAt(i);
if ((c % 2) == 0) {
evenDigits++;
}
else {
oddDigits++
}
if (c == '0') zeroDigits++;
}
try {
int number = Integer.parseInt(theString
boolean isOdd = (number % 2) != 0;
boolean isEven = (number % 2) == 0;
boolean isZero = (number == 0);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
System.out.println("Invali
