Hi, im new to java, and im having a problem.
i have written a program that allows the user to select a choice 1-5 from a menu. then the desired info is displayed. if any other numbers are entered and error message appears. but i would like this error message to appear also if the user enters a symbol or anything that is not a number 1-5. how do i do this?
whenever i enter a symbol i get a java.lang.numberformatexception error message.i know it has to do with the highlighted area.
below is part of my code:
do { do { //Runs Public Static void display_menu() display_menu(); [COLOR="Red"]choice = Integer.valueOf(in.readLine()).intValue();[/COLOR] if ((choice < 1) || (choice > 5)) { System.out.println("Error: invalid choice, please try again"); } } while ((choice < 1) || (choice > 5)); if (choice != 5) { switch (choice) { case 1: //Runs Public Static void Village() village(); break; case 2: //Creates Output Text System.out.println("----------------------------"); System.out.println("---Milk Round Information---"); System.out.println("----------------------------"); System.out.println("Distributer's Name: Ben Siddall"); System.out.println("Number of Pints Needed for Sale each day: " + milkman.pints_to_be_available_daily()); System.out.println("Total Revenue for the Milk Round each week: " + myFormat.format(milkman.milk_round_revenue())+" Pounds"); break; case 3: //Creates Output ~Text System.out.println("-------------------------"); System.out.println("---Farmer Information---"); System.out.println("-------------------------"); System.out.println("Farmer's Name: Caleb Green"); System.out.println("Number of Pints needed each day: " + milkman.pints_to_be_available_daily()); System.out.println("Number of Cows required to Produce milk: " + farmer.cows_required(milkman.pints_to_be_available_daily())); System.out.println("Total Revenue for the Farmer each week: " + myFormat.format(milkman.farmers_revenue()) +" Pounds"); System.out.println("Predicted Annual Milk Production: " + farmer.expected_pints_year() + " Pints"); break; case 4: //creates output text System.out.println("-------------------------"); System.out.println("---Revenue Information---"); System.out.println("-------------------------"); System.out.println("Milk Round Revenue: " + myFormat.format(milkman.milk_round_revenue()) + " Pounds"); System.out.println("Farmers Revenue: " + myFormat.format(milkman.farmers_revenue()) + " Pounds"); System.out.println("Farmers percentage of the milk round revenue: " + myFormat.format(milkman.farmers_percentage_revenue()) + " % "); System.out.println("Predicted Annual Revenue for the Milk Round: " + myFormat.format(milkman.annual_milk_revenue()) + " Pounds"); break; default: break; } } } while (choice != 5);
