In Java how to parse a string to a float and compare the value?

I have a small code snippet as shown below, which as you can see has a hard-coded value for checking server version. Now my intention is, if the server version is 11.3.0 or higher, then the if should be entered, but i am not able to figure out a way, Integer.parseInt won't work i guess as i parses int not float.

String serverVersion = DatamodelVersion.getInstance().getVersion();
if(serverVersion.equalsIgnoreCase("11.3.0"))
{
    outstr = new FileOutputStream(confFile);
    prop.setProperty("NTFSDriver", "11.3.0/x86/tntfs.ko");
    prop.setProperty("NTFSDriver_x64", "11.3.0/x86_64/tntfs.ko");

    prop.store(outstr, "");

    update = true;
    System.out.println("Updated the tuxera conf file successfully");
    logger.logDebugAlways("Updated the tuxera conf file successfully");

}

Try this 

String serverVersion = DatamodelVersion.getInstance().getVersion();
String[] version = serverVersion.split("\\.");
if (Integer.parseInt(version[0]) > 11 || (Integer.parseInt(version[0]) == 11 && Integer.parseInt(version[1]) >= 3))
{
    outstr = new FileOutputStream(confFile);
    prop.setProperty("NTFSDriver", "11.3.0/x86/tntfs.ko");
    prop.setProperty("NTFSDriver_x64", "11.3.0/x86_64/tntfs.ko");

    prop.store(outstr, "");

    update = true;
    System.out.println("Updated the tuxera conf file successfully");
    logger.logDebugAlways("Updated the tuxera conf file successfully");
}

11.3.0 is not a float number. What about to use following code instead:

int Compare(String ver1, String ver2)
{
String[] ver1s = ver1.Split("\.");
String[] ver2s = ver2.Split("\.");
if(ver1s.length > ver2.length) return 1;
if(ver2s.length > ver1.length) return -1;
for(int i = 0;i < ver1s.length;i++)
{
   if(Integer.valueOf(ver1s[i]) > Integer.valueOf(ver2s[i])) return 1;
   if(Integer.valueOf(ver2s[i]) > Integer.valueOf(ver1s[i])) return -1;
}
return 0;
}

You could try splitting the number into 3 parts, like so:

String[] bits = serverVersion.split(".");

Then, use a for loop and Integer.parseInt to parse each section of the number, and compare each.

You have a Version class here : http://nvn.svn.sourceforge.net

It should be used like this

Version v = Version.parse(DatamodelVersion.getInstance().getVersion());

and store numbers in the standard format MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD.REVISION

A version number is neither an integer, nor a float. Your best bet is using a specialized class:

public class Version implements Comparable<Version> {

  public Version(int major, int minor, int revision) {
    // set fields
  }

  public int compareTo(Version other) {
    // compare major minor and revision
  }

  public boolean equals(Object other) {
    // code here
  }      

  // parse a version in X.Y.Z form
  static Version parse(String version) {
    return new Version(//...);
  }
}

Using this you may decide to later add support for versions like 1.3.4-ALPHA or -RC1 and the like.

Split the version number by "."

Then compare one by one with your reference data.

String serverVersion = DatamodelVersion.getInstance().getVersion();
serverVersion.split('.')[0] // and so on..

You need to define your own method for checking version numbers, based on the rules these numbers must follow in your domain.

Based on the information you've provided, I would do a String split on . and compare each value in turn (as an integer) against 11, 3 and 0 respectively.

there is not a built-in function in Java to transform 11.3.0 to float, because 11.3.0 is not a valid float number.

for strings containing a valid float number, you could use Float.valueOf in Java.
