How to Handle the NumberFormatException in Java
The NumberFormatException is one of the most common runtime exceptions you'll encounter in Java. It's an unchecked exception that occurs when you try to convert a string to a numeric value, but the string format isn't compatible with the target number type. Simply put, if you attempt to parse "hello" as an integer or "12.5" as an integer, Java throws a NumberFormatException because these strings can't be converted to the expected numeric format.
