使用事件处理程序找不到符号错误

Question

I am having trouble trying to initialize a variable correctly. Earlier I was getting a Number Format Exception because I was parsing an integer inside of an empty text field. Now I have created an if statement that checks first to see if the field is empty, then parses an integer inside of it. The problem i'm having now is that my event handler can't recognize the variable, because it is inside the if statement. I tried declaring it outside of the if statement but that didn't work either. Any tips to point me in the right direction? Here is my code:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;

      while(i < 52){
         deck.add(i);
         i++;
      }
      final AtomicReference<String> result = new AtomicReference<>("go.");

      Collections.shuffle(deck);

Answer 1

Instead of

if(tfExpress.getText() != null && tfExpress.getText().equals(""))
{
     int express = Integer.parseInt(str);
}

try

final int express = (tfExpress.getText() != null && !tfExpress.getText().equals("")) : Integer.parseInt(str) : 0;

Answer 2

If str being empty is an acceptable behavior for your code, you need to define a default value for express if that is the case. If the default value were -1 , for example, you would do:

int express = (str != null && !"".equals(str)) ? Integer.parseInt(str) : -1;

And then later, you should treat the -1 case accordingly.

You need to initialize express like this, so it is effectively final and can be used in the lambda expression.
