To convert a string to a double
value in Java, you can use the Double.parseDouble
method. This method takes a string as an argument and returns the double
value represented by that string.
Here's an example of how to use the Double.parseDouble
method:
String s = "3.14"; double d = Double.parseDouble(s); // d is 3.14
However, if the input string is not a valid representation of a double
value, the Double.parseDouble
method will throw a NumberFormatException
. For example, if the input string is empty or contains non-numeric characters, the Double.parseDouble
method will throw a NumberFormatException
.
Here's an example of how you can handle the NumberFormatException
:
String s = "3.14"; try { double d = Double.parseDouble(s); } catch (NumberFormatException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
It's a good idea to handle this exception in a try-catch
block, as shown in the example above, to avoid your program crashing if the input string is not a valid representation of a double
value.
You can find more information about the Double.parseDouble
method and examples of how to use it in the Java documentation.
