Hi,
Basically i want to multiply two cells in a single jTable and place the result in a third cell. In this case one cell is a float and the other is an int, the result needs to be a float.

My rubbish bit of code

with the above code i get the error

FrontEnd/front.java [2,490:1] inconvertible types
found : java.lang.String
required: java.lang.Float
saleSalesCheckoutTable.setValueAt((salesQuantityTextField.getText() * (Float)salesQuantityTextField.getText()),0,4) ;

Which pretty much points out that my types are mismathcing, but i've tried lots of different combinations and don't seem to be able to extract anything other than a string out of the cell values.

i also tried striping the code down into stages, in this case simply attemtping to extract an integer from a table cell

int value = myTable.getValueAt(i,2);

but get

FrontEnd/front.java [2,491:1] incompatible types
found : java.lang.Object
required: int
int value = myTable.getValueAt(i,2);
^
1 error
Errors compiling front.

Hi,
First convert the values into required data types and then set the product to table.

Object to premitive datatypes,

Integer in = new Integer(table.getValueAt(0,3).toString());
int value = in.intValue();

Hope this helps you.

All The Best.

when we do .getText() we get string , so convert the string to integer by using Interger constructor . or try parseInt(string s).
hope this might help.
