Scanner hasNextBigDecimal() method in Java with Examples
The hasNextBigDecimal() method of java.util.Scanner class returns true if the next token in this scanner’s input can be interpreted as a BigDecimal using the nextBigDecimal() method. The scanner does not advance past any input.
Syntax:
public boolean hasNextBigDecimal()
Parameters: The function does not accepts any parameter.
Return Value: This function returns true if and only if this scanner’s next token is a valid BigDecimal.
Exceptions: The function throws IllegalStateException if this scanner is closed.
Below programs illustrate the above function:
Program 1:
import java.util.*;
public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
{
String s = "gfg 2 geeks!" ;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s);
scanner.useLocale(Locale.US);
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
System.out.print( "" + scanner.hasNextBigDecimal());
System.out.print( " -> " + scanner.next() + "\n" );
}
scanner.close();
}
}
|
Output:
false -> gfg
true -> 2
false -> geeks!
Program 2: Program to demonstrate exception
import java.util.*;
public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
{
try {
String s = "gfg 2 geeks!" ;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s);
scanner.useLocale(Locale.US);
scanner.close();
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
System.out.print( "" + scanner.hasNextBigDecimal());
System.out.print( " -> " + scanner.next() + "\n" );
}
scanner.close();
}
catch (IllegalStateException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception: " + e);
}
}
}
|
Output:
Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Scanner closed
