    Question Help for java beginner

    import java.util.Scanner;
    2
    3 public class HexToDecimalConversion {
    4 /** Main method */
    5 public static void main(String[] args) {
    6 // Create a Scanner
    7 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    8
    9 // Prompt the user to enter a string
    10 System.out.print("Enter a hex number: ");
    11 String hex = input.nextLine();
    12
    13 System.out.println("The decimal value for hex number "
    14 + hex + " is "+ );
    15 }
    16
    17 public static int hexToDecimal(String hex) {
    18 int decimalValue = 0;
    19 for (int i = 0; i < hex.length(); i++) {
    20 char hexChar = hex.charAt(i);
    21 decimalValue = decimalValue * 16 + hexCharToDecimal(hexChar);
    22 }
    23
    24 return decimalValue;
    25 }
    26
    27public static int hexCharToDecimal(char ch) {
    28 if (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'F')
    29 return 10 + ch - 'A';
    30 else // ch is '0', '1', ..., or '9'
    31 return ch - '0';
    32 }
    33 }



    the above code implements the hexToDecimal(String
    hexString) method, which converts a hex string into a decimal number. Implement
    the hexToDecimal method to throw a NumberFormatException if the
    string is not a hex string.

    Please don't post multiple copies of the same question. I deleted your duplicate thread.

    Also, please see the link in my signature on asking questions the smart way before you post again. For example, what's your actual question? Where are you stuck? Simply dumping your homework assignment here is not going to get you very far.

    Okay, that's fine, but that doesn't make it any easier to answer a question that has not been asked.
