Hi

I need help with this.
Why doesn't the following code work?:
I need to interpret a line of text as an integer.

String a = "yes";
String b = "ls";
int aa = Integer.valueOf("foo").intValue();
int bb = Integer.valueOf("bar").intValue();
System.out.println(aa);
System.out.println(bb);

This throws a NumberFormatException

How can I read a String as an Integer

Can you help me please.

Desperate,
--
