UInt32.Parse(String) Method in C# with Examples

Last Updated : 12 Jun, 2019

UInt32.Parse(String) Method is used to convert the string representation of a number to its 32-bit unsigned integer equivalent.

Syntax:

public static uint Parse (string str);

Here, str is a string containing a number to convert. The format of str will be [optional white space][optional sign]digits[optional white space]. The sign can be positive or negative. But negative sign can be used only with zero otherwise it will throw an OverflowException.

Return Value: It is a 32-bit unsigned integer equivalent to the number contained in str.

Exceptions:

ArgumentNullException: If str is null.
FormatException: If str is not in the correct format.
OverflowException: If str represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

Below programs illustrate the use of above-discussed method:

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate
// UInt32.Parse(String) Method
using System;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
  
        // passing different values
        // to the method to check
        checkParse("4294967295");
        checkParse("14244,784");
        checkParse("-457589");
        checkParse(" 784845");
    }
  
    // Defining checkParse method
    public static void checkParse(string input)
    {
  
        try {
  
            // declaring UInt32 variable
            uint val;
  
            // getting parsed value
            val = UInt32.Parse(input);
            Console.WriteLine("'{0}' parsed as {1}", input, val);
        }
  
        catch (OverflowException) {
            Console.WriteLine("Can't Parsed '{0}'", input);
        }
  
        catch (FormatException) {
            Console.WriteLine("Can't Parsed '{0}'", input);
        }
    }
}

Output:

'4294967295' parsed as 4294967295
Can't Parsed '14244, 784'
Can't Parsed '-457589'
' 784845' parsed as 784845

Example 2: For ArgumentNullException

// C# program to demonstrate
// UInt32.Parse(String) Method
// for ArgumentNullException
using System;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
  
        try {
  
            // passing null value as a input
            checkParse(null);
        }
        catch (ArgumentNullException e) {
  
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
        catch (FormatException e) {
  
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
  
    // Defining checkparse method
    public static void checkParse(string input)
    {
  
        // declaring UInt32 variable
        uint val;
  
        // getting parsed value
        val = UInt32.Parse(input);
        Console.WriteLine("'{0}' parsed as {1}", input, val);
    }
}

Output:

Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentNullException
