InputMismatchException

[Vishal Chugh]

Hi Ranchers,

Below program compiles fine but it is throwing InputMismatchException at run-time :

import java.util.*;
public class Test {

public static void main(String [] args) {
String csv = "Hello";
Scanner scanner = new Scanner( csv);
scanner.useDelimiter(",");
int age = scanner.nextInt();

}
}


Please explain why is it so?

Thanks
Vishal

The Javadoc for Scanner.nextInt() explains why quite nicely:

Scans the next token of the input as an int. This method will throw InputMismatchException if the next token cannot be translated into a valid int value as described below. If the translation is successful, the scanner advances past the input that matched.

Since the string value "Hello" can't be translated into an int, the Javadoc statement above applies.
