Ignore Symbol

Hello everyone,

Alright, this is my 2nd day programming. I have a program where the user types a double into an input box. I'm telling the user to type a percent. How can I make it, so that if the user types

"15" OR "15%"

That they both equal 15?
In other words, eliminate the "%"?

Thanks!

this:

string.replaceAll("\\%", "");

will return string with all percents removed. i.e.,

public class Fubar
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    String string1 = "15";
    String string2 = "15%";
    System.out.println(stripPercent(string1));
    System.out.println(stripPercent(string2));
    
    int int1 = Integer.parseInt(stripPercent(string1));
    int int2 = Integer.parseInt(stripPercent(string2));
    
    System.out.println(int1 + int2);
  }

  private static String stripPercent(String string)
  {
    return string.replaceAll("\\%", "");
  }
}
