Java Scanner - hasNextInt() Method



The java.util.Scanner.hasNextInt() method returns true if the next token in the scanner's input can be interpreted as an int value in the specified radix using the nextInt() method. The scanner does not advance past any input.

Syntax

public boolean hasNextInt(int radix)

Parameters

radix Specify the radix used to interpret the token.

Return Value

Returns true if and only if the scanner's next token is a valid int value.

Exception

Throws IllegalStateException, if the scanner is closed.

Example:

In the example below, the java.util.Scanner.hasNextInt() method is used to check whether the scanner's next token is a valid int value or not in the specified radix.

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    //String to scan
    String MyString = "Hello World 10 + 20 = 30.0";

    //creating a Scanner
    Scanner MyScan = new Scanner(MyString);

    while(MyScan.hasNext()) {
      //check if the next token is an int with radix 16
      //if yes, prints int value
      if(MyScan.hasNextInt(16))
        System.out.println("Int value is: "+ MyScan.nextInt(16));
      //if the next token is not an int
      else
        System.out.println("No Int Value found: "+ MyScan.next());
    }

    //close the scanner
    MyScan.close();
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

No Int Value found: Hello
No Int Value found: World
Int value is: 16
No Int Value found: +
Int value is: 32
No Int Value found: =
No Int Value found: 30.0
