Convert Object to Integer in java

I found this very tricky. I first converted Object to String then used java’s Integer.parseInt(String s) method to change String to Integer. Then I added int value to the converted value, wihch verifies the object has been successfully converted to int.

public class  ObjectToInt {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
      Object object = "123";
      int value = 0 ; //int value = zero

      /** Type Cast Object to String */
      String tempString = (String) object;

      /** use Integer.parseInt(String s) method to */
      /** change to int value */

      value = Integer.parseInt((String)object);

      //Finally Check the value
      System.out.print(value+2);
  }
}
