Validating user input using try-catch with reprompt
Hi all,
To handle invalid user input, I usually just loop to reprompt until the input is valid.
But my assignment details states that I need to catch multiple exceptions using try and catch.
I'd still like to reprompt the user but how do I use them in a loop without using continue.
Encasing try-catch in a loop, and setting a boolean in the catch blocks makes the exception handling superfluous.
Is there a better way to implement this?
Many thanks in advance :)

...yes, don't use try...catch at all when forcing the user to input properly...
It seems you have a very good handle on what is necessary to handle the possibilities. You should go ask your professor what it is he would like to see.
Sorry, and good luck!
