Thread: nextInt - can not find InputMismatchException

I am trying to read three integers from user.However,as always,i have to check if the input is ok.So i wrote the code,but can not find a way to ensure that the input is ok.InputMismatchException seems to suit but when i write her i get the error : Uncompilable source code - cannot find symbol

Here is my code.What am i missing? :/

static void getInput(int[] input) {
        System.out.print("Please enter length of phrase,minimum number of words"
                + " of the essay and maximum number of words : ");
 
        try{
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            for(int i=0 ; i<input.length ; i++)
                input[i] = in.nextInt();
        } catch (InputMismatchException e) {
            System.err.println("Unexpected IO ERROR: " + e.toString());
        }
 
    }

PS1- yes you guess it right i am a newbie,so every tip is a treasure for me
PS2 - how can i wrap my code to something that colours the functions etc.

Here is the whole code

package essaycorrection;
 
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class EssayCorrection {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] input = new int[3];//N,minWords,maxWords
        getInput(input);
        Phrase test = new Phrase(input[0]);
 
    }
 
    static void getInput(int[] input) {
        System.out.print("Please enter length of phrase,minimum number of words"
                + " of the essay and maximum number of words : ");
 
       // try{
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            for(int i=0 ; i<input.length ; i++)
                input[i] = in.nextInt();
//        } catch (InputMismatchException e) {
//            System.err.println("Unexpected IO ERROR: " + e.toString());
//        }
 
    }
}

Still can not find it,even after looking at the link :/

Duplicate link,but you did good to repost in order to emphasize the importance of it So what was missing was this line
[code=java]import java.util.InputMismatchException;[code]
So now i got it together,and my goal is that when the user inputs some letters instead of numbers then the user will be able to input again and so on.

static void getInput(int[] input) {
        boolean error = false;
        System.out.print("Please enter length of phrase,minimum number of words"
                + " of the essay and maximum number of words : ");
        do {
            try {
                Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
                for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
                    input[i] = in.nextInt();
                }
            } catch (InputMismatchException e) {
                System.err.println("Unexpected IO ERROR: " + e.toString());
                error = true;
            }
        } while (error);
 
    }

So i typed "dd" ,exception was thrown as it was expected but then nothing happens.What i am missing again? :/

Can't find the icon but i copy pasted the output.(from netbeans)

run:
Please enter length of phrase,minimum number of words of the essay and maximum number of words : dd
Unexpected IO ERROR: java.util.InputMismatchException
5 5 5
BUILD STOPPED (total time: 11 seconds)

What i expect to happen is this : as long as the input is not ok,i want to get the user input again.So when the exception is thrown this means something is not ok so re-input!

Idea->Does the exception makes the stream to close?That is what is happening?

Yes it is ok.I found what was wrong.The boolean error was not reseted to false! Thank you very much for your answers
