Hi Guys,
I'm new to Java and hoping someone can help me with this code.
I started to work on this exercise to create a calculator app, and Im really stuck on two things:

1. NumberFormatExeption - NetBeans IDE keep show me this error:  

  }catch(NumberFormatExeption e){
  required: Throwable
  found:    NumberFormatExeption


2. I can't figure it out how to assign the values from JTextField num1, num2 to double numbe1 and number2

Here is the code, the part Im struggling with is marked with stars:
Thanks in advance,






                           package calculator;


                                import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;

                                    }

mostly this exception will also comes with if you are passing empty string to Double.parseDouble("") method ( i mean while caliculating the result)

for finding this place s.o.p statements(to know what values are stored in those variables i mean num1.getText() & num2.getText()) before you are caliculating the results

try once that

i think **this is also one reason for getting that kind of exception every time **

happy coding
