Java Scanner nextInt() Method
Example
Print the value of every integer in the string:
// Create a scanner object
Scanner myObj = new Scanner("An int is a number between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647");
// Print the value of every int in the scanner
while(myObj.hasNext()) {
if(myObj.hasNextInt()) {
System.out.println(myObj.nextInt());
} else {
myObj.next();
}
}
Definition and Usage
The nextInt()
method returns the int
value of the number that the next token represents. The token must represent a whole number between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647.
The scanner is able to interpret digit groupings, such as using a comma for separating groups of 3 digits. The format of the groupings depends on the locale settings of the scanner, which can be changed with the useLocale()
method.
If the radix parameter is used, then it interprets numbers using the radix. For example, a radix of 16 would interpret numbers as hexadecimal (digits 0 to 9 and A to F). If the radix parameter is not used then it interprets numbers using the scanner's radix, which is 10 by default but it can be changed with the useRadix()
method.
What is a token?
A token is a sequence of characters separated from other tokens by delimiters. The default delimiter is a block of whitespace characters but it can be changed with the useDelimiter()
method.
Syntax
One of the following:
public int nextInt()
public int nextInt(int radix)
Parameter Values

Technical Details
Returns: | The int value of the number that the next token represents. |
