Exactly what does the parse() do?
Have a great day,

a) I see you're writing in java;
b) I am not a java programmer;
c) Regarding converting strings to integers, here is some code
that
might prove helpful?
Convert string to int
public class ConvertStringToInt {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String aString = "78";
int aInt = Integer.parseInt(aString);
U should obviously chop off the letter portion of the string in
order
to get the int value. I'm sure also that java must have a
char2int
function so that u could convert it to its ascii equivalent if u
need
to do that.

Hi all
I am still working on Battleship for my class. I tell the user
to type in coordinates as expected in battleship, that is, a1 or
g4. I use a string to store that input, lowercase the string,
then convert it to a char array and cast the first element (the
letter) to an int, then subtract 97 since a actually means the
first gameboard slot (0, ascii a is 97 and 97?97=0). I take the
second element, the number, and cast to an int but subtract 49.
The problem is that my professor wants nothing less than a 15x15
grid. If I continue converting the way I am, then a1 and a12
look the same to the program since array[1]=1 and that is all it
looks for. How can I tell it that I want all elements after 0
to
be strung together to form an integer, but not added? Take b15.
I don't want to turn elements 1 and 2 into 6 but rather keep
them
as 1 and 5 but string them together as 15. Maybe there is a way
to convert a string to an int? Thanks for any help.
Have a great day,
Alex
