You can't use "armor" in a method as a substitute for the variable above.
Re choice of 27, what example did you see it used in?
Edit:
Oh, I see. Yeah the Integer API does have an example of a 27 radix. This is very esoteric stuff, and something you'll likely never use. I suggestion that you don't use this example, but instead I'd use the Integer.parseInt method that takes a single String as a parameter, the one that uses the default base-10 radix.
Okay, now i am bit confused. So I may just go the longer route and just individually label the parts I need for my algorithm to work (armor,combat level,etc). Thanks for trying though.
