Bob was asking for the string representation of an integer IP number. His solution is correct, straightforward and does not require the instantiation of three intermediate objects just for getting a simple string. Your one-liner however creates a BigInteger, then a byte array and finally an instance of InetAddress which still is not a string. It's toString method may or may not return the resolved host name in addition to the IP number string representation. That's not quite the original requirement.
