Question 40
Safe Integer Input with Validation
Safe Integer Input with Validation
Write a program with an inputInt() method that safely reads an integer with validation. The method should: 1. Read input as a string using nextLine() 2. Try to convert it to an integer using Integer.parseInt() 3. If conversion fails, print "Error! Input a whole number: " and try again 4. Return the valid integer In main(), call inputInt() and display: You entered: [number] Example: If user enters "a", "a1", "1.1", then "1", output should show errors for first 3 inputs then: You entered: 1 ⚠️ IMPORTANT - AUTO-INPUT MODE: This question uses automated input testing. When you run your code, the input stream will AUTOMATICALLY contain: '1\n' DO NOT wait for manual keyboard input - Scanner will read from the pre-filled buffer stream immediately. Your validation loop should use scanner.nextLine() to read input. Think of it like Eclipse/VS Code but with the input already typed in and waiting for your Scanner to read it.
Expected Output:
You entered: 1
