Question

For an assignment I have almost ready but can't seem to get past the error .. the file items.txt data

12345,Ballpeen Hammer,25,18.75

56789,Phillips Screwdriver,120,10.95

24680,Claw Hammer,35,15.98

13579,Box Wrench,48,20.35

28967,Hex Wrench,70,19.98

the file activity.txt data

D,12345,0

R,12345,100

S,12345,45

The error i am getting again and again it tells me the error

You are getting that exception because the number that you are trying to parse has space with it. trim() is a function in java which is used to remove space before and after a string. Read this to know more about trim.

Answer 2

Try using below method while calling parseInt in InventoryItemTest while reading items.txt.

Integer getIntVal(String val){
 return val!=null ? Integer.parseInt(val.trim()) : null;
}

Eg:

if(getIntVal(lines[0])>=20000 && getIntVal(lines[0])<=79999) { 
                inventoryItems[i] = new InventoryItem(getIntVal(lines[0]), lines[1], getIntVal(lines[2]), Double.parseDouble(lines[3]));
                i++;
           } 

Answer 3

Use trim() wherever you are accessing your lines[] array.

 if (Integer.parseInt(lines[0].trim().trim()) >= 20000 && Integer.parseInt(lines[0].trim()) <= 79999)
 {
      inventoryItems[i] = new InventoryItem(Integer.parseInt(lines[0].trim()), lines[1].trim(), Integer.parseInt(lines[2].trim()), Double.parseDouble(lines[3].trim()));
      i++;
 }
