Java Scanner - hasNextDouble() Method



The java.util.Scanner.hasNextDouble() method returns true if the next token in the scanner's input can be interpreted as a double value using the nextDouble() method. The scanner does not advance past any input.

Syntax

public boolean hasNextDouble()

Parameters

No parameter is required.

Return Value

Returns true if and only if the scanner's next token is a valid double value.

Exception

Throws IllegalStateException, if the scanner is closed.

Example:

In the example below, the java.util.Scanner.hasNextDouble() method is used to check whether the scanner's next token is a valid double value or not.

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    //String to scan
    String MyString = "Hello World 10 + 20 = 30.0";

    //creating a Scanner
    Scanner MyScan = new Scanner(MyString);

    while(MyScan.hasNext()) {
      //check if the next token is a double
      //if yes, prints double value
      if(MyScan.hasNextDouble())
        System.out.println("Double value is: "+ MyScan.nextDouble());
      //if the next token is not a double
      else
        System.out.println("No Double Value found: "+ MyScan.next());
    }

    //close the scanner
    MyScan.close();
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

No Double Value found: Hello
No Double Value found: World
Double value is: 10.0
No Double Value found: +
Double value is: 20.0
No Double Value found: =
Double value is: 30.0
