Subject: Casting
Hi all
I understand that what we get by
variable = request.getParemeter("anotherVariable")
is always a string
I need to use the variable in some calculations and need this as a float
But it seems casting doesnt work in servlet
Anybody has any idea as to how to convert this to a float
TIA
Hamid
