在Java中将包含字符的字符串转换为整数

Question

I want to know if we can convert a string like "pink" to integer using java.

here is my example:

   string word = "pink";
    int i = Integer.parseInt(word);

I was thinking in a code that convert words to integers. because I want to convert all words in my project to integers and then apply binary search to search for a word in these document. I do not no if it is an applicable idea but I think that it will be fast if it is applicable.

Answer 1

You can make word to integer map like this.

List<String> allWords = Arrays.asList("cat", "Dog", "Fish", "Cat", "dog");
Map<String, Integer> wordMap = new HashMap<>();
for (String word : allWords)
    wordMap.computeIfAbsent(word.toLowerCase(), k -> wordMap.size());
System.out.println(wordMap);

->

{fish=2, cat=0, dog=1}
