我想添加我自己的0.02c，关于在哪里放置异常处理的一般问题时两个相互竞争的考虑因素:

The "wider" the responsibility of the try-catch block (i.e. outside the loop in your case) means that when changing the code at some later point, you may mistakenly add a line which is handled by your existing catch block; possibly unintentionally. In your case, this is less likely because you are explicitly catching a NumberFormatException The "narrower" the responsibility of the try-catch block, the more difficult refactoring becomes. Particularly when (as in your case) you are executing a "non-local" instruction from within the catch block (the return null statement).

性能:就像Jeffrey在他的回复中所说的，在Java中这并没有太大的区别。

通常，为了代码的可读性，在哪里捕获异常的选择取决于您是否希望循环继续处理。

在您的示例中，您在捕获异常时返回。在这种情况下，我会在循环中放入try/catch。如果你只是想捕捉一个坏值，但继续处理，把它放在里面。

第三种方法:您总是可以编写自己的静态ParseFloat方法，并在该方法中而不是在循环中处理异常处理。使异常处理与循环本身隔离!

class Parsing
{
    public static Float MyParseFloat(string inputValue)
    {
        try
        {
            return Float.parseFloat(inputValue);
        }
        catch ( NumberFormatException e )
        {
            return null;
        }
    }

    // ....  your code
    for(int i = 0; i < max; i++) 
    {
        String myString = ...;
        Float myNum = Parsing.MyParseFloat(myString);
        if ( myNum == null ) return;
        myFloats[i] = (float) myNum;
    }
}

我同意所有关于性能和可读性的帖子。然而，在某些情况下，这确实很重要。其他一些人也提到了这一点，但通过例子可能更容易理解。

考虑这个稍微修改过的例子:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String[] myNumberStrings = new String[] {"1.2345", "asdf", "2.3456"};
    ArrayList asNumbers = parseAll(myNumberStrings);
}

public static ArrayList parseAll(String[] numberStrings){
    ArrayList myFloats = new ArrayList();

    for(int i = 0; i < numberStrings.length; i++){
        myFloats.add(new Float(numberStrings[i]));
    }
    return myFloats;
}

如果你想让parseAll()方法在有任何错误时返回null(就像原来的例子一样)，你可以把try/catch放在外面，像这样:

public static ArrayList parseAll1(String[] numberStrings){
    ArrayList myFloats = new ArrayList();
    try{
        for(int i = 0; i < numberStrings.length; i++){
            myFloats.add(new Float(numberStrings[i]));
        }
    } catch (NumberFormatException nfe){
        //fail on any error
        return null;
    }
    return myFloats;
}

实际上，您可能应该在这里返回一个错误，而不是null，通常我不喜欢有多个返回，但您可以理解。

另一方面，如果你想让它忽略问题，并解析任何它能解析的字符串，你可以把try/catch放在循环的内部，像这样:

public static ArrayList parseAll2(String[] numberStrings){
    ArrayList myFloats = new ArrayList();

    for(int i = 0; i < numberStrings.length; i++){
        try{
            myFloats.add(new Float(numberStrings[i]));
        } catch (NumberFormatException nfe){
            //don't add just this one
        }
    }

    return myFloats;
}

这取决于故障处理。如果你只是想跳过error元素，请尝试内部:

for(int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
    String myString = ...;
    try {
        float myNum = Float.parseFloat(myString);
        myFloats[i] = myNum;
    } catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
        --i;
    }
}

在任何其他情况下，我宁愿到外面去试试。代码更可读，更干净。如果返回null，在错误情况下抛出一个IllegalArgumentException可能会更好。

As long as you are aware of what you need to accomplish in the loop you could put the try catch outside the loop. But it is important to understand that the loop will then end as soon as the exception occurs and that may not always be what you want. This is actually a very common error in Java based software. People need to process a number of items, such as emptying a queue, and falsely rely on an outer try/catch statement handling all possible exceptions. They could also be handling only a specific exception inside the loop and not expect any other exception to occur. Then if an exception occurs that is not handled inside the loop then the loop will be "preemted", it ends possibly prematurely and the outer catch statement handles the exception.

如果循环在生活中扮演清空队列的角色，那么循环很可能在队列真正清空之前就结束了。非常常见的错误。

在你的例子中没有功能上的区别。我觉得你的第一个例子可读性更强。
