RE: quick java question

I tried it, but have changed the var to a float after I sent the message. I tried var.hasNextFloat() but I get an error on that line that says something like "float cannot be dereferenced". I am checking to be sure a number (the var in question) is greater than 1 but less than another var and so thought I could just put this simple statement as another condition in the if statement, but I got the above error. I am using the latest Java.

Have a great day,
Alex

You can use the Scanner class to do what you want to do easily,
if you're
using Java 5.0.  For example,

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
if (sc.hasNextInt())
 int value = sc.nextInt();

I am new to this language.  What do I put in place of "aString"
and how do I use the exception in my if statement? Add a
throwsException to the end? Thanks.

Have a great day,
Alex

If you're expecting an integer, then you can do

Integer.parseInt(aString)

That will throw a NumberFormatException if it isn't a number.

Take care,
Sina

Hi all,
Is there a quick way of determining if the user input is a
number? I need it
to be a number; it throws an exception and exits the program if
it isn't.
Maybe something like:
if (input!=\int
I have no idea about the syntax, but something along those lines
is what I
am looking for.  Thanks for any help.

Have a great day,
Alex
