Is there an easy way to access the array elements after the parsing of String to Integer which would be different to my code?

Question

import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.text.ParseException;

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {

String initial_match_time_to_split = "20:10";

        String[] output = initial_match_time_to_split.split(":");

        int hours = Integer.parseInt(output[0]);
        int minutes = Integer.parseInt(output[1]);

        System.out.println(hours);
        System.out.println(minutes);

}
}

Answer 1

Take a look at the reference of the DateTimeFormatter class... or use LocalTime.parse method.

Answer 2

Just forgot... After parsing to LocalTime you can use get methods for hours and minutes. No need to use an array ;)

Answer 3

That's what's the formatter is for... you define your own format with it. That makes it possible to simply parse it after that.

Answer 4

You could use a for in loop, but idk if you'd consider that easier.

for(int t: output) {
System.out.println(t);
}

Answer 5

thank you for your answers but the code is not related to time, I can use - separater of numbers instead of :

Answer 6

thank you
