Type Casting

[robmif76]

Hi all,

Is it possible to type cast a String variable into an integer?

I'm tryong with the following code but I'm getting an error on compilation saying inconvertible types.

void yearsWorked(String sWorkYear)
{
int iYrsWorked;

iYrsWorked = (int) sWorkYear;
}

Cheers
Rob

This is the correct way:

iYrsWorked = Integer.parseInt(sWorkYear);

Hi Rob,

u can convert a string to int using the way suggested by Stijn147, but it will be better if u put it in a try-catch block, as it can throw NumberFormatException. The more complete way thus is:-

try{
int intIntegerForm = Integer.parseInt(strStringForm);
}catch(NumberFormatException objNumberFomatException){
objNumberFomatException.printStackTrace();
}
