Evaluating User Input For String Or Int

Jan 14, 2015

I have to take a users input. The general gist of the problem is I want to convert a decimal number entered by the user inputs into it's binary equivalent....the conversion part I know how to do.

I'm stuck at the user input phase. If the user inputs a decimal number within the correct range (lets say between 0-5000 for this example) the conversion goes ahead as planned and the program outputs on the screen the binary equivalent.

If on the other hand the user inputs a number outside of this range ... OR a String OR and empty space, an error message is given and the user is asked to try again. I don't know how to handle it if the user enters the different types...int or String.

Scanning Known String And Not Input Typed By User?

Jul 29, 2014

I'm having an issue with my program that needs 2 lines of input when I only want one. First I call Scan.nextLine(); to fetch a word. Then I want Scan.findInLine(word).charAt(number); to scan the string word for a letter instead of having to put another line in the console. How do I make Scan.findInLine(word).charAt(number); scan a single String instead of scanning input typed by the user?

Getting User Input From TextArea And Storing It As String Value

Jan 20, 2015

I am having trouble with getting a user input once they enter it in to a JTextArea and then storing it in to a string value. See, I wanted the user to enter an answer in to the JTextArea, and then once I store it in to a string value, I would be able to use it later. I wanted to after storing the variable to print it on to a JLabel, but nothing is showing up... Heres my code.

static String usera[]= new String [10];
for (int i=0; i< usera.length; i++) {
//These are the JTextArea names
usera[0]= Question1.getText();
usera[1]= Question2.getText();

[Code].....

I already initialized the JLabels earlier in my code, and I did not feel the need to post all my code here. This is where I am trying to get the string variable and then printing it out.

Continuously Get User Input Until Empty String Entered

Jul 26, 2014

I have the code below that just keeps getting the user's name and displaying it until the user enter's an empty string. Well, to simulate that, I just hit the keyboard instead of entering any name but for some reasons I am not seeing in my code, the programme just keeps looping.
 
System.out.println("Enter your name :
");
Scanner st = new Scanner(System.in);
while(st.hasNext()){
System.out.println("Enter your name :
");
String name = st.nextLine();
System.out.println(name);
if(name==" ") break;
}
System.out.println("you are out of the while loop now!!");

How To Compare Int To A Empty String To Input Error Message To User

Apr 16, 2015

I made a guess a number program but I am having issue figuring out a way that when a user enter's in nothing for the program to spit out a message saying "hey entering nothing doesn't work try again" then ask for input. I have done some research and from what I have found is to read the input in as a String rather than int, and use something like Integer.valueOf() to get the integer value but I am completely lost on how to apply that to my program here is my code

//import statements
import java.util.*; //for scanner class
// class beginning
public class Guess {
public static void main(String[] args ) {
//Declare variables area
int guess, secretNumber = (int) (Math.random() * 10 + 1), lowGuess,highGuess;

Reading Input With Scanner And Checking If User Entered Empty String?

Apr 7, 2015

The project is a program that allows the user to enter students and enter grades for each student. One of the requirements is that if there is already a grade stored for the student that it will display the previous grade. IF the user then enters a new grade the new grade will be stored. IF the user simply presses enter (enters an empty string) nothing is done. I have everything working except for the requirement of doing nothing if the user enters an empty string. If I just press enter at this point I get a NumberFormatException.

The below code is a method "setTestGrades" from the student class. This method iterates through each student object stored in an array list and then checks if there is a previous grade (Requirement# unset grades have to default to -1) before allowing the user to set a new grade.

public void setTestGrades(int testNumber) { //Sets the grade for the specified test number for each student in the arraylist.
testNumber -= 1;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < studentList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println("Please enter the grade for Test #" + (testNumber + 1) + " For Student " + studentList.get(i).getStudentName());

Retrieving Result By User Input Different Combination Using String Tokenizer (MYSQL)

Mar 30, 2014

I am creating a simple Symptom Checker application. The problem I have is that I'm trying to retrieve user input (JTextField) by comma's using StringTokenizer which contacts the database for a result which matches the user's input (SELECT * FROM DIAGNOSIS WHERE ?, ?, ?) . It successfully finds the correct result however only in a particular format. Not different combinations....

for example, if I enter say within the JTextField: "tearful, nausea, lack of motivation" it will find the result successfully (as that is how it is formatted within the particular column (in the database table) i wish to display a result from) however, if i enter a different combination of these symptoms: "nausea, lack of motivation, tearful" - it will not find any result. I'm very unsure how to make it work regardless of what is inputted first, second or last.

Here is the code:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
String abc = fieldsymp1.getText();
StringTokenizer str = new StringTokenizer(abc);
while (str.hasMoreTokens()) {
str.nextToken((", ")).trim();
 
[Code] ....

Retrieving User Input String From Keyboard - Program Errors (try / Catch)

Sep 23, 2014

I need to design, implement, and test a program to input and analyze a name. The program begins by retrieving a user input string from the keyboard. This string is intended to be the user's name. These are the errors we have to search analyze the user input for: No blanks between names firstName and lastName, Non-alphabetic characters in names, Less than two characters in first name, and Less than two characters in last name. Each of these errors must be thrown. All exceptions must be derived from a programmer-defined class called NameException. Each exception should use a detailed message to differentiate among the file types of errors.

This is the format of my NameException class, is the format itself correct? I will fill in the details of each exception I am just wondering if that is how I should set it up.

public class NameException extends Exception {
private String firstName, lastName;
public NoBlanksException(String firstName,String lastName) {
}
public NonAlphabeticalCharactersException(String firstName, String lastName) {

[Code] .....

I was told not to try and catch thrown errors in the main method, would I just create another method in the Driver class to take care of that then?

User Input Data As String And If Verified As Valid Number Then Convert Into Double

Nov 11, 2014

I am writing a code in which a user inputs data as a string and that data must be verified as a valid number. A valid number is anything from 0-100. Then all valid numbers are converted into double numbers.

I am having trouble in how to write the validation part of the code.

Is it suppose to be an if, else statement? And if so how is it suppose to be validated?

I'm having trouble with the last few lines of the code. It's supposed to take a replacement string entered by the user and print out the new string. For some reason it's now allowing me to enter a replacement string

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Project02 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a long string: ");
String lString = keyboard.nextLine();

[Code] ....

Output:

Enter a long string: the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
Enter a substring: jumped
Length of your string: 44
Length of your substring: 6
Starting position of your substring in string: 20
String before your substring: the quick brown fox
String after your substring: over the lazy dog
Enter a position between 0 and 43: 18
The character at position 18 is x

Enter a replacement string: Your new string is: the quick brown fox over the lazy dog <------ isn't taking user input

Asking User For Input Twice?

Apr 19, 2014

I'm working on creating a dice game and getting the users input is giving me a really hard time. I have the main game working but this part I'm stuck on. The problem is that it's not giving me the chance to enter the second input when I ask for the game.

//Create Scanner object
Scanner keys = new Scanner(System.in);
//Get chips

[Code]....

*****This is what I get when I run it

run:

How much money would you like to change? 50

You now have $50 in chips.

What game do you want to play? You did not pick dice.

have..straight..left

The user inputs the width, in the case above being 20. Each line has to therefore be 20 characters long. All spaces are to be replaced with full stops.
