Question

I’m trying to compare input values. Here’s a sample of what I want to say.

           if(text.input != float)
           {
              //code to calculate
           }

I don’t want to allow values other than numbers being entered. Is this correct?

Answer 1

You should do something like

try {
  float value = Float.valueOf(text.input);
  // Do something with value - it's OK.
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
  // text.input is not a float, handle appropriately...
}
