No that won't work.  The OP already showed us that trying to create an 
Integer from float-string succeeds.

RC, I think what you want to do is *validate* your data before you try 
to parse it.

If the data must contain only decimal digits, use a regex to match that 
before you call Integer.parse().  If the data must contain at least one 
"." and one decimal digit, then use a regex to verify that fact, again 
before calling Double.parse().

Parse() doesn't validate data, I guess, just parses it.  Validation you 
do yourself.
