Need To Solve The Equation

[moyphus]

Hi To All,

I have an equation in string like this

((BASIC+HRA)*(30/100))
Using replace function
Now i replaced this into values...
String formula = ((10000+3000)*(30/100))

whole thing as a string now 'Formula'...

How can i calculate this formula

float amt = formula;

Now i have an error...type casting....i can't calculate this amt

float amt = Float.parseFloat(formula);

and btw why are you storing equation result in string ?

better way :

float amt = ((10000+3000)*(30/100));

Regard,

float amt = Float.parseFloat(formula);

better way :

float amt = ((10000+3000)*(30/100));

Hi Thanks For The Reply...

i already used that,But its not worked.....If There any other solution to solve this,.,.,

Hi,.,

Actually Before that i have like this ,.,((BASIC+HRA)*(30/100))
This is coming from database as a whole equation...
I'm replacing the Strings into values based on that BASIC And HRA,,,.

So it is String type,...i need to calculate that based on that formula,.,.,

double amt = ((10000.0+3000.0)*(30.0/100.0));
System.out.println(amt);

Working fine.

Output : 3900.0

if still not working, Please post the code related to the problem.

Hi,,Tanx,.,

Here my code,

formula = compList.getPrformula();  // Here i'm getting value Like ((BASIC+HRA)*(30/100))
derFrom = compList.getDerivedFrom(); //Here, BASIC,HRA
derFrom1 = derFrom.split(",");      
for (int i=0;i<derFrom1.length;i++){
    CharSequence ch = "+";
    CharSequence ch1 = "-";
    CharSequence ch2 = "*";
    CharSequence ch3 = "/";
    String[] drFrom=null;
    if (derFrom1[i].contains(ch))
        drFrom = derFrom1[i].split("\\+");
    if (derFrom1[i].contains(ch1))
        drFrom = derFrom1[i].split("\\-");
    if (derFrom1[i].contains(ch2))
        drFrom = derFrom1[i].split("\\*");
    if (derFrom1[i].contains(ch3))
        drFrom = derFrom1[i].split("\\/");
    if (!("".equals(drFrom) || drFrom == null)){
    if (drFrom.length>0){
        comp = new ArrayList<String>();
        comp1 = new ArrayList<String>();
        String[] com={};
        for (int j = 0;j<this.availPayroll.size();j++){            comp.add(String.valueOf(this.availPayroll.get(j).getAmountStart()));
//Here In comp, i have 10000.00
                }
                for (int k=0;k<drFrom.length;k++){
                    for (int j=0;j<this.availPayroll.size();j++){
                        if (drFrom[k].equalsIgnoreCase(String.valueOf(this.availPayroll.get(j).getPrcompId()))) 
                            formula = formula.replaceAll(drFrom[k], this.comp.get(j));
here i'm replacing 10000.00 instead of BASIC
4000.00 instead of HRA
                    }
                }
            }
            }
            else {
                comp = new ArrayList<String>();
                for (int j = 0;j<this.availPayroll.size();j++){
                    comp.add(String.valueOf(this.availPayroll.get(j).getAmountStart()));
                }
                for (int j=0;j<this.availPayroll.size();j++){
                    if (derFrom1[i].equalsIgnoreCase(String.valueOf(this.availPayroll.get(j).getPrcompId())))   
                        formula = formula.replaceAll(derFrom1[i], this.comp.get(j));
here i'm replacing 10000.00 instead of BASIC
4000.00 instead of HRA
                }
            }

// Now ,formula = ((10000.00+4000.00)*(30/100))

            double amout = Double.valueOf(formula);

It Produces an error like "For Input String"

[javaAddict]

Is formula a String? :

formula = "((10000.00+4000.00)*(30/100))";

If yes then this will not work:

double amout = Double.valueOf(formula);

The String formula has to have a numeric value. Like "2" or "-100.345".
If it has value: "((10000.00+4000.00)*(30/100))" it will not work.
You need to extract the numbers from the String formula, turn them into numbers (parseDouble() or parseFloat()) and then apply the operators (+, -, *, /)
