Howdy-
Does anyone know how to convert a string to an integer equivalent, probably either ASCII or EBCDIC? I need to process the following:
if(string[num1] > string[num2])
This compiler doesn't like this. I can't tell what to use from the drop-down window, if anything.
Big Thanx!
instead of converting them, you can compare them directly using String's compareTo() method:
instead of : if(string[num1] > string[num2])
do this:
if(string[num1].compareTo(string[num2])>0){
//this happens if string[num1] is "larger" than string[num2]
}
You can try the following which should work:
try {
if(Integer.parseInt(string[num1]) > Integer.parseInt(string[num2])) {
}
catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
;
}
If the String somehow does not contain an int we can use the NumberFormatException to catch the error.
