Multiple exception catch block

[niloufar]

Hi, I get value1Exception cannot be resolved to a type! & value2Exception cannot be resolved to a type!
Why is that? I also changed both to only catch(Exception ex), but still the same! Any help would be appreciated...

public static boolean validateInput(String value1,String value2,String value3){
		boolean isValid = false;
				
		try {
			int num1 = Integer.parseInt(value1);
			if(!withinRange(num1,MIN_NUMBER, MAX_PRIME)) {
              isValid = true; 
	         
		 
		
		try {
			int num2 = Integer.parseInt(value2);
			if(!withinRange(num2,MIN_NUMBER, MAX_PRIME)) {
              isValid = true; 
	         
			}
		}
		
			 catch(value1Exception ex) { 
				 System.out.println("The entered value " + value1 + " is not a valid integer.  Please try again.");
	         }
		}
	}
		catch(value2Exception ex) { 
			 System.out.println("The entered value " + value2 + " is not a valid integer.  Please try again.");
			
        }
		
		
	        return isValid;
	}

where did you define value1Exception and value2Exception?

I didin't bcoz Exeption originaly doesn't need and didn't know I have to! Thank you :)
do I have to create a new method? or I can do it right here?

i'm not sure as to what you want to do with that, if you want to define a new exception then you need to write a class that extends Exception,
and maybe even use the throw keyword, depends on what it is you want.
for example:

i fixed it, but prints my errors 3 times, what should i do?

public class test {
	
	// Global Constants
    final static int MIN_NUMBER = 1;
    final static int MAX_PRIME = 10000;
    final static int MAX_FACTORIAL = 12;
    final static int MAX_LEAPYEAR = 4000;
  
    //Global Variable
    static int a,b,c;
	
	
public static void main (String[] args) {
		//String[] myNumbers= new String [3];
			
		//int x =Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
		for(int i =0; i< args.length; i++){
			//System.out.print(args[i]+" ");
			validateInput(args[0],args[1],args[2]);
			//performOperations(args[0],args[1],args[2]);
			
		}
	}
			
					
//Validate User Input
	public static boolean validateInput(String value1,String value2,String value3){
		boolean isValid = false;
				
		try{
			try{
				try{
			a = Integer.parseInt(value1);
				if(!withinRange(a,MIN_NUMBER, MAX_PRIME)) {
					 System.out.println("The entered value " + value1 +" is out of range [1 TO 10000].");
			}
				isValid = true; 		
				
			}
			catch(Exception ex) { 
				 System.out.println("The entered value " + value1 + " is not a valid integer.  Please try again.");
					}	
		
			b = Integer.parseInt(value2);
				if(!withinRange(b,MIN_NUMBER, MAX_FACTORIAL)) {
					System.out.println("The entered value " + value2 +" is out of range [1 TO 12].");
		}
				isValid = true;	
			}
	catch(Exception ex) { 
				System.out.println("The entered value " + value2 + " is not a valid integer.  Please try again.");
}
		
			c = Integer.parseInt(value3);
			if(!withinRange(c,MIN_NUMBER, MAX_LEAPYEAR)) {
				System.out.println("The entered value " + value3 +" is out of range [1 TO 4000].");
	}
			isValid = true;	
		}
catch(Exception ex) { 
			System.out.println("The entered value " + value3 + " is not a valid integer.  Please try again.");
}	
			
	        return isValid;
		
	        
	}
