Need help with "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException:"

[Sunshineserene]

Hi, I am getting this error for my codes:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "{ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0},"

at java.lang.Double.parseDouble(Double.java:510)
at MatchApplet.init(DPTest.java:126)

May I know what is wrong with my codes, which part?

[JamesCherrill]

Can't tell without the your code, but if you're trying to parse that "{" at the beginning of your input string, that could be the cause of your problem.

Even if I don't put {, the same error message still comes out.

[~s.o.s~]

The exception says that you are passing an entire line to the parseDouble method instead of passing a String which contains a valid double representation. After reading the line, split it (look into the split method of String class) based on whatever separator char you have in the file (comma or space). For each split chunk, remove any superfluous spaces by invoking trim() on that chunk. After that call Double.parseDouble() and you should be good to go.

[JamesCherrill]

I'm looking at lines 90-100
I see you read a line and then split it into tokens, but then you try to parse the whole line as just one Double value. If the line contains multiple tokens, then it presumably has more than 1 Double in it. Maybe you should be parsing each token individually?

[Sunshineserene]

Thanks people! I will try it out and see if it works! (:

[Sunshineserene]

Hey guys, I trim away the white spaces already but it still doesn't work?

Here is the codes.

[JamesCherrill]

~s.o.s~ and I have already told you what the problem is. You still haven't done what we said. Read our posts again.

[Sunshineserene]

I thought I did? Line 98 to 102?

[JamesCherrill]

You carefully trim and split the string to print it (that's good), but then you ignore that and try to parse the original un-split string.

[Sunshineserene]

Oh. But how would I know which is the splited string now? What variable?

[JamesCherrill]

You don't have a variable with the split string in it yet. You need to create a new String array to hold the split-up string, then loop thru that array parsing the Doubles one at a time.

[Sunshineserene]

Erm JamesCherrill, can you please explain more in detail? I don't quite get it.

[JamesCherrill]

I don't know how to make that any clearer without giving you the actual code - which is against the forum guidelines. Just re-read all the previous posts very carefully and slowly.

Okay this is what I've done up so far. I can run my program already, but the output is wrong. It seems like there's smth wrong with the file read part where I try to parse it. I don't know why it can't work. It should read the file (Testing) and parse it then passed into another part of my program, but the info passed is not right. Lines 115-134

[JamesCherrill]

Getting closer, but you still need to parse the split-up numbers in the string one at a time in a loop, a bit like this:

String[] temp;    // temp is an array, one element for each number
temp = str.split(",");  // split up using the commas as deimiters
for (String s : temp) {   // for each of the elemnets in temp
   s = s.trim();   // remove extra blanks
   Double d = Double.parseDouble(s); // parse the number thateremians
   // do whatever with d (print it first to see if its right)
}

[Sunshineserene]

Line 3: for (String s : temp) {

You are equating temp to s?
