Thread: Try... catch loop?!

I need to write code to see if three numbers make a right angled triangle (which I have done below). However, I need to use a try/catch as well as keep prompting the user to enter a number only instead of anything else... (a while loop would be best?) not sure how to go about this though..

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
 
public class TriangleTest
{
    public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception 
    {
        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);  
 
            try
            {        
                System.out.println("Enter side 1: ");
                    int side1 = s.nextInt();              
                System.out.println("Enter side 2: ");
                    int side2 = s.nextInt();
                System.out.println("Enter side 3: ");
                    int side3 = s.nextInt(); 
                if(((side1*side1) == ((side2*side2) + (side3*side3))) ||
                ((side2*side2) == ((side1*side1) + (side3*side3))) ||
                ((side3*side3) == ((side1*side1) + (side2*side2))))
                    System.out.println("True! These numbers " + side1 + ", " 
                                    + side2 + " and " + side3 + " make a triangle.");
                else
                    System.out.println("False! These numbers " + side1 + ", " 
                                    + side2 + " and " + side3 + " don't make a triangle.");
            }catch(InputMismatchException exception)
                {
                    System.out.println("Please enter numbers only!");   
                    System.out.println("");
            }                
 
        s.close();
    }         
}

The logic is somewhat below, although... after the completion of entering three numbers (which I haven't done yet) OR wrong input I want to ask the user to try again and keep prompting as well as giving them the option to exit. Below it displays the message if input is wrong, although goes straight back to the start of the loop and skips the option to continue or not. If this is outside the loop, it infinite loops.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TriangleTest
{
    public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception 
    {
        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);  
        String response = "yes";
        while(!response.equals("no"))
        {
            try
            {        
                System.out.println("Enter side 1: ");
                    int side1 = s.nextInt();              
                System.out.println("Enter side 2: ");
                    int side2 = s.nextInt();
                System.out.println("Enter side 3: ");
                    int side3 = s.nextInt(); 
                if(((side1*side1) == ((side2*side2) + (side3*side3))) ||
                ((side2*side2) == ((side1*side1) + (side3*side3))) ||
                ((side3*side3) == ((side1*side1) + (side2*side2))))
                    System.out.println("True! These numbers " + side1 + ", " 
                                    + side2 + " and " + side3 + " make a triangle.");
                else
                    System.out.println("False! These numbers " + side1 + ", " 
                                    + side2 + " and " + side3 + " don't make a triangle.");
            }catch(InputMismatchException exception)
            {
                System.out.println("Please enter numbers only!");   
                System.out.println("");
                System.out.println("Continue? 'yes' or 'no' to exit!" );
                reponse = s.nextLine();
            }
        }
        s.close();
    }        
}

It was somehow reading in the \n character. This should fix it.

I thought it wasn't clearing the buffer or something so I looked it up on Google and found this: java - Scanner issue when using nextLine after nextXXX - Stack Overflow
