Explain the Java parseint exception?
I want to convert a java.lang.String to a java.lang.Integer, assigning a default value of 0 if the String is not convertible. Here is what I came up with. I would appreciate an assessment of this approach.
To be honest, it feels a little squirrely to me:
String strCorrectCounter = element.getAttribute("correct");
Integer iCorrectCounter = new Integer(0);
try {
iCorrectCounter = new Integer(strCorrectCounter);
} catch (Exception ignore) { }
here is a solution regarding the Java parseint exception:
int tryParseInt(String value) {
try {
return Integer.parseInt(value);
} catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {
// Log exception.
return 0;
}
}you should catch NumberFormatException instead of exception.
