Using a method is more useful for general objects that implement . You use `Parse` or `TryParse` methods on the numeric type you expect the string contains, such as the type. The method uses internally. The `Parse` method returns the converted number; the `TryParse` method returns a boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded, and returns the converted number in an `out` parameter. If the string isn't in a valid format, `Parse` throws an exception, but `TryParse` returns `false`.
