StringTokenizer, making a method help

[katiebear128]

Suppose an external file is made up entirely of integers. In the model we've been using in this unit, the file is actually read in, line by line, as a sequence of Strings. Using a StringTokenizer inside processLine() method can produce individual tokens that look like numbers, but are actually Strings that are composed of digits. To convert each token from String format to integer format, you need to use the parseInt() method from the Integer class. Thus

int birthYear = Integer.parseInt("1983");

correctly stores the integer 1983 into the birthYear integer variable.

For this assignment you should create a complete processLine method in the EchoSum class, so that it transforms each number in each line to integer format, and then sums the entries on the line and prints their sum on a separate line. For example, if the external text file looks like this:
1 2 3 4
3 4 7 1 11
2 3


your program should display this:
10
26
5

public void processLine(line){
int sum=0;
StringTokenizer s=new StringTokenizer(line);
while(s.hasMoreTokens()){
int i=Integer.parseInt(line);
sum+=i;
}
System.out.println(sum);

Right now it says runtime error, java.lang.NumberFormatException...

I'm wondering how I can fix my code to do what its supposed to do, I would really appreciate any help!

[doWhile]

int i=Integer.parseInt(line);

Given your input, the above would be similar to:

int i=Integer.parseInt("1 2 3 4");

Try it and see if this works. Are you sure you want to parse the line, or parse the token from the tokenizer?

[katiebear128]

I tried int i=Integer.parseInt(s); but it said error. Should I try it again?

[Junky]

Should I try it again?

Why? Do you think you will get a different result each time? You cannot parse the enter line. You cannot parse a StringTokenizer. But you can parse the individual elements in the StringTokenizer.

thanks Junky! You reminded me to use the nextToken() method. I completely forgot about that
