The hasNextShort() method of java.util.Scanner class returns true if the next token in this scanner’s input can be assumed as a short value of the given radix. The scanner does not advance past any input. In case no radix is passed as a parameter, the function interprets the radix to be default radix and functions accordingly. Syntax:
public boolean hasNextShort(int radix) or public boolean hasNextShort()
Parameters: The function accepts a single parameter radix which is not a mandatory one. It specifies the radix used to interpret the token as a short value. Return Value: This function returns true if and only if this scanner’s next token is a valid short value in the default radix. Exceptions: The function throws IllegalStateException if this scanner is closed. Below programs illustrate the above function: Program 1:
Java
// Java program to illustrate the // hasNextShort() 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 2 geeks!"; // new scanner with the // specified String Object Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s); // use US locale to interpret shorts in a string scanner.useLocale(Locale.US); // iterate till end while (scanner.hasNext()) { // check if the scanner's // next token is a short with a radix 3 System.out.print("" + scanner.hasNextShort( 3 )); // print what is scanned System.out.print(" -> " + scanner.next() + "\n"); } // close the scanner scanner.close(); } } |
false -> gfg true -> 2 false -> geeks!
Program 2:
Java
// Java program to illustrate the // hasNextShort() 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 2 geeks!"; // new scanner with the // specified String Object Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s); // use US locale to interpret shorts in a string scanner.useLocale(Locale.US); // iterate till end while (scanner.hasNext()) { // check if the scanner's // next token is a short with the default radix System.out.print("" + scanner.hasNextShort()); // print what is scanned System.out.print(" -> " + scanner.next() + "\n"); } // close the scanner scanner.close(); } } |
false -> gfg true -> 2 false -> geeks!
Program 3: Program to demonstrate IllegalStateException
Java
// Java program to illustrate the // hasNextShort() method of Scanner class in Java // Exception case import java.util.*; public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { try { String s = "gfg 2 geeks!"; // new scanner with the // specified String Object Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s); // use US locale to interpret shorts in a string scanner.useLocale(Locale.US); scanner.close(); // iterate till end while (scanner.hasNext()) { // check if the scanner's // next token is a short with the default radix System.out.print("" + scanner.hasNextShort()); // print what is scanned System.out.print(" -> " + scanner.next() + "\n"); } // close the scanner scanner.close(); } catch (IllegalStateException e) { System.out.println("Exception: " + e); } } } |
Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Scanner closed
