Scanner nextByte() method in Java with Examples

The nextByte(radix) method of java.util.Scanner class scans the next token of the input as a Byte. If the translation is successful, the scanner advances past the input that matched. If the parameter radix is not passed, then it behaves similarly as nextByte(radix) where the radix is assumed to be the default radix.

Syntax:

public byte nextByte()

Parameters: The function accepts a parameter radix which is used to Byteerpret the token as a Byte value.

Return Value: This function returns the byte scanned from the input.

Exceptions: The function throws three exceptions as described below:

• InputMismatchException: if the next token does not matches the Byteeger regular expression, or is out of range
• NoSuchElementException: throws if input is exhausted
• IllegalStateException: throws if this scanner is closed

Below programs illustrate the above function:

Program 1:

// Java program to illustrate the
// nextByte() method of Scanner class in Java
// without parameter

import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
        throws Exception
    {

        String s = "Gfg 9 + 6 = 12.0";

        // create a new scanner
        // with the specified String Object
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s);

        while (scanner.hasNext()) {

            // if the next is a Byte,
            // prByte found and the Byte
            if (scanner.hasNextByte()) {
                System.out.println("Found Byte value :"
                                   + scanner.nextByte());
            }

            // if no Byte is found,
            // prByte "Not Found:" and the token
            else {
                System.out.println("Not found Byte value :"
                                   + scanner.next());
            }
        }
        scanner.close();
    }
}

Output:

Not found Byte value :Gfg
Found Byte value :9
Not found Byte value :+
Found Byte value :6
Not found Byte value :=
Not found Byte value :12.0

Program 2:

// Java program to illustrate the
// nextByte() method of Scanner class in Java
// with parameter

import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
        throws Exception
    {

        String s = "Gfg 9 + 6 = 12.0";

        // create a new scanner
        // with the specified String Object
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s);

        while (scanner.hasNext()) {

            // if the next is a Byte,
            // prByte found and the Byte
            if (scanner.hasNextByte()) {
                System.out.println("Found Byte value :"
                                   + scanner.nextByte(12));
            }

            // if no Byte is found,
            // prByte "Not Found:" and the token
            else {
                System.out.println("Not found Byte value :"
                                   + scanner.next());
            }
        }
        scanner.close();
    }
}

Output:

Not found Byte value :Gfg
Found Byte value :9
Not found Byte value :+
Found Byte value :6
Not found Byte value :=
Not found Byte value :12.0

        try {

            String s = "Gfg 9 + 6 = 12.0";

            // create a new scanner
            // with the specified String Object
            Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s);

            while (scanner.hasNext()) {

                // if the next is a Byte,
                // prByte found and the Byte
                // since the value 60 is out of range
                // it throws an exception

                System.out.println("Next Byte value :"
                                   + scanner.nextByte());
            }
            scanner.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
