I will post all of my code with a comment on the line where the issue is. but the
string isnt empty to me... here is what i am trying to do. you click a number it appears in the solutionField. then hit plus, it will change the add option to true and others to false, then it will read that string in the solutionField which is the number that was clicked and set double firstNum equal to that. when i run the calculator it works fine. but this error occurs. also... it doesnt throw an error for equal, which is the same code so im a little more confused. I am only working on getting the add function to work without error right now, which is why everything else looks blah, thank you
by the way this is the error message
