toString() giving errors

[alexandra12]

Hello,


I am wondering if someone can guide me as to what I am doing wrong in my code.

I have a String and an int variable. I need to pass the int variable into the string variable - so I need to parse the int variable from an int into a string.

Here is part of my code

//getter - setter

public int getNum(){
		
		return num;
	}
	
	public void setNum(int num) {
		this.num =(num);
		
	}

Here is the code calling for the setNum function

String tmpString;

if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("num")){
			north.setNum(Integer.toString(tmpString));
			north.setNum(String.valueOf(num));
			north.setNum(String.valueOf(Integer.toString(tmpString)));
			
		}

As you can see I have tried it a few ways - but I am getting errors

sample error from Eclipse
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:470)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:511)

I am also getting different errors - saying to change from int function to a string function which I dont want to do.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You left off the first line of the error message. What was the exception?


The setNum() method takes an int value as an argument. Do any of the methods you tried return an int value?

The Integer class has a method to convert a String to an int. The eclipse error message shows you have tried it.
What was the value of the String you tried to convert?

String tmpString;
// ...
north.setNum(Integer.toString(tmpString));

Umm... that compiles?
