Help with a question

Write the program where a user enters their name and age and the program checks to see the age is between 0 and 125. If not, the program shows an error code (use Exception Class).

Here is the code that I have at the moment:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class EHU1 extends Exception  {
	public static void main(String [] args) throws InvalidAgeException{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Input your age:");
			try {
				int age = input.nextInt();
				System.out.println("Your age is: " + age);
			}catch(Exception e){
				System.out.println("Invalid Age");
			}
		System.out.println("Input your name:");
		String name = input.next();
		System.out.println("Your name is: " + name);
		
	}
}

The problem is that I don't have an exception thrown because I don't know how to specify the age 0-125. Right now I can input -2 for an age, but nothing happens. How can I specify if age is this, then throw this...?

You have to check the value of age, then do something if it's in a certain range.

And then read the following tutorial How to Throw Exceptions (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes > Exceptions)

import java.util.Scanner;

public class EHU1 extends Exception  {
	public static void main(String [] args){
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Input your age:");
		int age = input.nextInt();
		if(age >= 0 && age <=125){
			System.out.println("Your age is: " + age);
		if(age < 0 || age > 125){
			try {
				
			}catch(Exception e){
				System.out.println(e);
			}
		}
		}
		System.out.println("Input your name:");
		String name = input.next();
		System.out.println("Your name is: " + name);
		
	}
}

This is the code I have right now. All I get it this...

Input your age:
135
Input your name:
Army
Your name is: Army

[KevinWorkman]

That's pretty much what I would expect. Did you read the tutorial on throwing exceptions?

[JosAH]

Also check your indentation; as it is now it is extremely misleading.

kind regards,

import java.util.Scanner;

public class EHU1 extends Exception  {
	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	private int age = input.nextInt();
	
	public void getAge(age){
		this.age = input.nextInt();
		//this.age = input.nextInt();
		if(age <0 || age > 125){
			try {
				throw new Exception();
			} catch (Exception e) {
				System.out.println("Invalid age" + e);
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
		System.out.println("You are " + age + " year(s) old.");
	}
	public static void main(String [] args){
		System.out.println("Input your age");
		EHU1 obj = new EHU1();
		obj.getAge();
			
		
		}
	}

this is the new code, but it's not working...

The age inside the parameter can't be resolved to a variable

[KevinWorkman]

That's not proper syntax for using a parameter. Why are you trying to take a parameter into that method at all?

[Army]

import java.util.Scanner;

public class EHU1 extends Exception  {
	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	
	
	public void getAge(){
		int age = input.nextInt();
		//this.age = input.nextInt();
		if(age <0 || age > 125){
			try {
				throw new Exception();
			} catch (Exception e) {
				System.out.println("Invalid age ");
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
		System.out.println("You are " + age + " year(s) old.");
	}
	public static void main(String [] args){
		System.out.println("Input your age");
		EHU1 obj = new EHU1();
		obj.getAge();
			
		
		}
	}

fixed the syntax on it. i still get this though even if the exception is thrown.

Input your age
135
Invalid age
You are 135 year(s) old.
java.lang.Exception
at OOP.EHU1.getAge(EHU1.java:13)
at OOP.EHU1.main(EHU1.java:24)

[KevinWorkman]

What do you expect to happen instead?

[Army]

I just don't want it to say, "you are (x) year(s) old", if it goes through the exception.

[KevinWorkman]

Well, that's not what your code is telling the computer to do. Your code gets the age, does something if the age is not valid, and then no matter what, it prints out that sentence.
