Parsing Strings

Question

How do you add code that parses a string and gets three fields that are stored in the string?

I have to: In the Main class, add code that parses the string and gets the three fields that are stored in the string. Then, store this data in the Product object.

The code I have so far is:

package murach.ui;

import murach.business.Product;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String javaProduct = " ";


        //TODO: process productString and populate fields of product object


        System.out.println("Code:       " + product.getCode());
        System.out.println("Description:  " + product.getDescription());
        System.out.println("Price:      " + product.getPriceFormatted());
    }    
}

Sorry, I am new to programming. I think it is Product product = new Product(); — user8666554, Sep 24 '17 at 21:32
hmm what is product vs javaProduct? is this your actual compiling code? or did you just write it here in SO? Also what is the result you're trying to achieve? — Girauder, Sep 24 '17 at 21:50
Unsalvageable. Show the actual string (or a mock) containing the fields. — wp78de, Sep 25 '17 at 00:52

The best way to do that, is serializing and deserializing the object, to do that in your Product class implements Serializable .

( Serializable is the process of converting an object into a stream of bytes in order to store the object or transmit it to memory, a database, or a file. Its main purpose is to save the state of an object in order to be able to recreate it when needed. The reverse process is called deserialization).
