C# SByte TryParse(String, SByte)

Description

SByte TryParse(String, SByte) tries to convert the string representation of a number to its SByte equivalent, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.

Syntax

SByte.TryParse(String, SByte) has the following syntax.

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]/*from  w w  w. j a  v  a  2s . c  o  m*/
public static bool TryParse(
  string s,
  out sbyte result
)

Parameters

SByte.TryParse(String, SByte) has the following parameters.

• s - A string that contains a number to convert.
• result - When this method returns, contains the 8-bit signed integer value that is equivalent to the number contained in s if the conversion succeeded, or zero if the conversion failed. The conversion fails if the s parameter is null or String.Empty, is not in the correct format, or represents a number that is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Returns

SByte.TryParse(String, SByte) method returns true if s was converted successfully; otherwise, false.

Example

The following example tries to convert the strings in an array to SByte values by calling the TryParse(String, SByte) method.

/*from   w ww .  j av  a  2s .  c om*/
using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    string[] numericStrings = {"-3.4", "12.3", "+12.3", "    3   ", "(12)", 
                               "-12", "+12", "18-", "987", "1,024"};
    sbyte number;
    foreach (string numericString in numericStrings)
    {
       if (sbyte.TryParse(numericString, out number)) 
          Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", numericString, number);
       else
          Console.WriteLine("Cannot convert '{0}' to an SByte.", numericString);
    }

  }
}
    

The code above generates the following result.
