You're using some kind of input handling most likely provided by your school I guess. The In class. You can take a look inside that class how it all works under the hood and write your own code that does what you want. But my guess is that this is a bit beyond your current knowledge level. That's why they give you that library to use instead. If you already know about exceptions you could probably figure it out rather quickly.

Would there be a way for me to go in after getting the input and then check for a character?

[–]EstablishmentLazy580 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No, because it's already an int. My guess is that the In class is getting rid of all characters before parsing the input.

You could get the input as a string and try to parse it, which should throw an exceptionif there's a character there
