+<overview>
+<p>Method such as <code>Integer.parseInt</code> that parse strings into numbers
+throw 
+<code>NumberFormatException</code> if the its argument cannot be parsed.
+This exception should be caught so that any parse errors can be handled.
+</p>
+
+</overview>
+<recommendation>
+
+<p>It is usually best to handle <code>NumberFormatException</code> in a <code>catch</code> clause
+surrounding the call to the parsing method.</p>
+
+</recommendation>
+<example>
+
+<p>In the following example, the first call to <code>Integer.parseInt</code> does not catch the exception.
+The second call does.
