java joption and convert string to integer

Question

I am not quite sure what i am doing wrong with this code.

I am trying to import the joptionpane and then convert the string into an int my error comes at

**start = inputValue.Integer.parseInt();**
 JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane();
String inputValue = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please input a value"); 
start = inputValue.Integer.parseInt();

Answer 1

Try this:

start = Integer.parseInt(inputValue);

Answer 2

I think you meant start = Integer.parseInt(inputValue);
