Floats.tryParse() in Guava

Question

I found the only method:

Ints.tryParse()

Is there any similar methods for Double/Float in Guava?

If not, what are the causes of absence?

Thx.

Answer 1

We (well, I) have an implementation in the works that finished code review less than 24 hours ago. It should hopefully be released in 14.0. (The other integral types besides int, including the unsigned types, are going in a separate code review that's just started.)
