How to convert from int to String?
<p>I'm working on a project where all conversion from int to string made in such manner:</p>

<pre><code>int i = 5;
String strI = "" + i;
</code></pre>

<p>I'm not familiar with Java. Is this usual practice or this code smells as I suppose?</p>

<p><em>edit:</em></p>

<p>Actually my question was is this code smells and why, but not how to convert.</p>
