Try-Catch
Assume I have 3 Strings which potentially contain numeric values ...I intend to convert these Strings to a BigDecimal. If, for some reason one or more of the Strings do not contain a valid numeric value, I want to substitute a zero value....and then continue on processing the next assignment.
They question is if I can effectively use a try/catch to accomplish this
( without using a separate try/catch around each assignment. )
In the example below, the assignment to aBD and bBD would not occur since the NumberFormatException would engage after the first attempt
on assignment on cBD ...is there a way around this ?
Example:
String a= "900.12";
String b= "800.12";
String c= "XXX";
try {
BigDecimal cBD = new java.math.BigDecimal(c);
BigDecimal aBD = new java.math.BigDecimal(a);
BigDecimal bBD = new java.math.BigDecimal(b);
catch ( NumberFormatException nfe ) {
}
