Integer.parse(String str) java.lang.NumberFormatException: Errors

Question

I keep getting number format expectations, even though I\'m trimming the strings and they don\'t contain non numerical characters bizarrely it works for some numbers and not

Answer 1

It's because 3020857508 exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE. You should use long to convert the string to number.

java> String n="3020857508";
//=> java.lang.String n = "3020857508"
java> Integer a = Integer.parseInt(n.trim());
//=> java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "3020857508"
java> Integer.MAX_VALUE
//=> java.lang.Integer res2 = 2147483647
java> Long a = Long.parseLong(n.trim());
//=>java.lang.Long a = 3020857508

The above is javarepl output.

If you are using JDK9 or above, you can see the same result in jshell.

jshell> String n="3020857508"
n ==> "3020857508"

jshell> Integer a = Integer.parseInt(n.trim())
|  Exception java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "3020857508"
|        at NumberFormatException.forInputString (NumberFormatException.java:65)
|        at Integer.parseInt (Integer.java:652)
|        at Integer.parseInt (Integer.java:770)
|        at (#2:1)

jshell> Integer.MAX_VALUE
$3 ==> 2147483647

jshell> Long a = Long.parseLong(n.trim());
a ==> 3020857508
