Something to work with.

Posted by simul on June 10, 2001 at 10:05 PM

Try putting the value from your substring into a number like this:

int parsedNumber = Integer.paresInt(num.substring(0,2));

use logical and '&&' or logical or '||' in your if statment to match on more than one condition. Like this:

if(parsedNumber == 12 || parsedNumber == 25 || parsedNumber == 35){
//will execute if any of the conditions match.
}

hope this helps.

> I need to see if the first two digits are 12,25,35 etc. depending on these numbers I need to assign values to variable. How can I achieve this. I have the following code it works fine with one:

> if (num.substring(0,2).equals("25")){
> cata = "A";
> order = num;
> }
> else {
> cata = "B";
> ctr = num;

> ==================================
> if (num.substring(0,2).equals("25")){ here I need to have if the values .equals("12" "25" "35" etc) how can I do this.
