How to check the input is an integer or not in Java? [duplicate]

Question

In my program I want an integer input by the user. I want an error message to be show when user inputs a value which is not an integer. How can I do this. My program is to find area of circle. In which user will input the value of radius. But if user inputs a character I want a message to be shown saying Invalid Input.

This is my code:

int radius, area;
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the radius:\t");
radius=input.nextInt();
area=3.14*radius*radius;
System.out.println("Area of circle:\t"+area);

Answer 1

If you are getting the user input with Scanner, you can do:

if(yourScanner.hasNextInt()) {
    yourNumber = yourScanner.nextInt();
}

If you are not, you'll have to convert it to int and catch a NumberFormatException:

try{
    yourNumber = Integer.parseInt(yourInput);
}catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
    //handle exception here
}

Answer 2

You can try this way

 String input = "";
 try {
   int x = Integer.parseInt(input); 
   // You can use this method to convert String to int, But if input 
   //is not an int  value then this will throws NumberFormatException. 
   System.out.println("Valid input");
 }catch(NumberFormatException e) {
   System.out.println("input is not an int value"); 
   // Here catch NumberFormatException
   // So input is not a int.
 }
