Test a variable type

TothProc

Hi,

I have a code which get data from the CSV. file. There should be few empty or string among the floats. How can I test it? I use Table object to handle the data. If I get data from the table (getFloat, getInt or similar) there is a chance to get an error. How can I test without error?

Thank you.

Table class defines these fields to represent missing or non-parsable values:

https://GitHub.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/data/Table.java#L73

protected String missingString = null;
protected int missingInt = 0;
protected long missingLong = 0;
protected float missingFloat = Float.NaN;
protected double missingDouble = Double.NaN;

If another missing value is preferable over any of those defaults, we can change them respectively w/:

setMissingString(), setMissingInt(), setMissingLong(), setMissingFloat(), setMissingDouble()

For example: table.setMissingInt(MIN_INT); Then: *-:)

int age = table.getInt("age");
if (age == MIN_INT)  System.err.println("Invalid age!");
