using numberformat

[roaan]

Hi ,

I am trying to use number format in java to achieve the same functionality of that of Integer.parseInt(String s)

String s = "845";
int x = Integer.parseInt(s);
System.out.println(x);

NumberFormat formatter = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
Number n = formatter.parse(s); // I get an error here.

What is the issue here. So how do we use numberformat to get the same function?

Number parse(String source) - Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce a number.

try
Long x = (Long) formatter.parse("123");

EDIT:
what kind of error? did you catch the exception?

Hi,

It works now as you pointed it out. I was not catching the ParseException as well.

Thanks,
Rohan.
