Or you can also do something like :-
String variable = request.getParemeter("anotherVariable");
try {
float value= Float.parseFloat(variable);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
float = 0;
}

Hi Hamid,
try this one,using a wrapper class
String variable = request.getParemeter("anotherVariable");
Float val= new Float(variable);//Its float wrapper
float value=val.floatValue();/*Its method of Float class converting the
Float object into primitive data type float */
Bye,

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
