Java – Convert IP address to Decimal Number

In this tutorial, we show you how to convert an IP address to its decimal equivalent in Java, and vice versa. For examples :

Bash

255.255.255.255  <->  4294967295
192.168.1.2      <->  3232235778

1. IP Address to Decimal

We show you two ways to convert an IP address to a decimal number

Normal power of 256

Bit shifting

1.1 First Example – Power of 256
The IP address is “base 256”, to convert

192.168.1.2

to decimal (base 10) the formula is:

Bash

192 x (256)^3 + 168 x (256)^2 + 1 x (256)^1 + 2 (256)^0 = ?
3221225472 + 11010048 + 256 + 2 = 3232235778

Java

public long ipToLong(String ipAddress) {

String[] ipAddressInArray = ipAddress.split("\\.");

long result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < ipAddressInArray.length; i++) {

int power = 3 - i;
int ip = Integer.parseInt(ipAddressInArray[i]);
result += ip * Math.pow(256, power);

}

return result;
}

Some developers prefer to use modular like this

Java

result += (Integer.parseInt(ipAddressInArray[i]) % 256 * Math.pow(256, power));

1.2 Second Example - Bit shifting
Review the binary bit shifting graph below :

Java

public long ipToLong(String ipAddress) {

long result = 0;

String[] ipAddressInArray = ipAddress.split("\\.");

for (int i = 3; i >= 0; i--) {

long ip = Long.parseLong(ipAddressInArray[3 - i]);

//left shifting 24,16,8,0 and bitwise OR

//1. 192 << 24
//1. 168 << 16
//1. 1   << 8
//1. 2   << 0
result |= ip << (i * 8);

}

return result;
}

Bash

192         00000000 00000000 00000000 11000000
-----------------------------------------------
192 << 24   11000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
Result      00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
Result |=   11000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

168         00000000 00000000 00000000 10101000
-----------------------------------------------
168 << 16   00000000 10101000 00000000 00000000
Result	    11000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
Result |=   11000000 10101000 00000000 00000000

1           00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001
-----------------------------------------------
1   << 8    00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000
Result	    11000000 10101000 00000000 00000000
Result |=   11000000 10101000 00000001 00000000

2           00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
-----------------------------------------------
2 << 0      00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
Result	    11000000 10101000 00000001 00000000
Result |=   11000000 10101000 00000001 00000010

Convert the final binary code to decimal, by hand calculation :) ~

Bash

Result      11000000 10101000 00000001 00000010
index       0 - 31, start from right.

2. Decimal to IP Address

We show you two bit shifting and "0xff" masking examples to convert a decimal number back to IP address. The bit shifting is very hard to explain in words, it's better review the binary flows below :

2.1 First Example.

Java

//ip = 3232235778
public String longToIp(long ip) {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(15);

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {

result.insert(0,Long.toString(ip & 0xff));

if (i < 3) {
sb.insert(0,'.');
}

ip = ip >> 8;
}
return result.toString();
}
