Hi,

I have the following code:

String s = “556.666”

float e = Float.valueOf(s)

println('Resultado: ’ + e)

It works perfect

String s = “3.556.666”

float e = Float.valueOf(s)

println('Resultado: ’ + e)

It does not work

06-13-2018 11:16:53 AM - [ERROR] - Test Cases/Calculo Gasto Comun FAILED because (of) java.lang.NumberFormatException: multiple points

Help!

Hi Marcelo,

float is decimal number in Java. Decimal numbers have only one dot separator, so this is expected error. Is this number (556.666) supposed to be _five hundred fifty-six point triple-six_ \*\*or \*\*\_five hundred fifty-six thousands six hundred sixty-six?  
\_  
In second case, you have to remove dot and then parse String to int (as float is usually used for decimal numbers)

```auto
String s = "3.556.666".replace(".", "")
int e = Integer.parseInt(s)
println('Resultado: ' + e)

```
