I need these lines to output when a letter is typed instead of a whole number. I am not sure how to get it to do this: I have the code and what I need posted below if you can help me solve this issue, thank you.
This is what I am getting:
Input a valid whole number: abc
Input is not a valid number
Press any key to continue . . .
This is what I need:
Input a valid whole number: **ABC**
**ABC** is not a valid number
Press any key to continue . . .
below is what i have so far:
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FinalPractice
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
Scanner scanner = new Scanner( System.in );
PrintStream out = System.out;
out.print( "Input a valid whole number: " );
String input = scanner.next();
int number;
try {
number = Integer.parseInt(input);
} catch (Exception e) {
out.println("Input is not a valid number");
return;
}
if (number < 0) {
out.println(number + " is not a valid number");
return;
}
printDivisors(number);
}
private static void printDivisors(int x){
PrintStream out = System.out;
for (int i=1; i<x; i++) {
if (isDivisibleBy(x, i)){
out.println(x + " is divisible by " + i);
} else {
out.println(x + " is not divisible by " + i);
}
}
}
private static Boolean isDivisibleBy(int x, int divisor){
while (x > 0) {
x -= divisor;
if (x == 0){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
If I'm understanding correctly, you want your error message to include what the user actually inputted. Change
out.println("Input is not a valid number");
to
out.println (input + " is not a valid number");
This takes your variable input
, merges it with the rest of the String and it will then be displayed to the output console.
