How to handle the NumberFormatException (unchecked) in Java?
The NumberFormatException is an unchecked exception thrown by parseXXX() methods when they are unable to format (convert) a string into a number.
The NumberFormatException can be thrown by many methods/constructors in the classes of java.lang package. Following are some of them.
- public static int parseInt(String s) throws NumberFormatException
- public static Byte valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException
- public static byte parseByte(String s) throws NumberFormatException
- public static byte parseByte(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException
- public Integer(String s) throws NumberFormatException
- public Byte(String s) throws NumberFormatException
There are situations defined for each method, where it can throw a NumberFormatException. For instance, public static int parseInt(String s) throws NumberFormatException when
- String s is null or length of s is zero.
- If the String s contains non-numeric characters.
- Value of String s doesn’t represent an Integer.
Example1
public class NumberFormatExceptionTest {
public static void main(String[] args){
int x = Integer.parseInt("30k");
System.out.println(x);
}
}Output
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "30k" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:65) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:580) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:615) at NumberFormatExceptionTest.main(NumberFormatExceptionTest.java:3)
How to handle NumberFormatException
We can handle the NumberFormatException in two ways
- Use try and catch block surrounding the code that can cause NumberFormatException.
- )Another way of handling the exception is the use of throws keyword.
Example2
public class NumberFormatExceptionHandlingTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
new NumberFormatExceptionHandlingTest().intParsingMethod();
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
System.out.println("We can catch the NumberFormatException");
}
}
public void intParsingMethod() throws NumberFormatException{
int x = Integer.parseInt("30k");
System.out.println(x);
}
}In the above example, the method intParsingMethod() throws the exception object that is thrown by Integer.parseInt(“30k”) to its calling method, which is the main() method in this case.
Output
We can catch the NumberFormatException
