Integer.parseInt("5.843"); Error

[Cemi]

My error:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "5.843"
at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unk nown Source)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
at test.main(test.java:50)

Why does it not want to parse my String "5.843" to int?

The code I use for the parsing is

valuta[s] = Integer.parseInt(((Node) lstNm.item(0)).getNodeValue());

I've also tried replacing the code which gets the String with the value from the xml file with just the string "5.843" and it still gives the same error.

I've googled the error but I can't seem to find an answer.

Thank you.

I've googled the error but I can't seem to find an answer.

your string is a double and not an int so try

System.out.println((int)(Double.parseDouble("5.843")));

parse the double and then cast it to an int.

Of course! Feel really dumb now, was kinda obvious :(

Thank you! :D

NumberFormatException, always explain about that. As it named, once you comes-up with such an error check the format at RUNTIME. Keep in mind, this error cannot detect at the compile time, only at RUNTIME

Can you please mark the thread solved if you satisfied with the answer.
