Write a program that asks the user to input a set of floating-point values. When the user enters a value that is not a number, give the user a second chance to enter the value. After two chances, quit reading input. Add all correctly specified values and print the sum when the user is done entering data. Use exception handling to detect improper inputs.

Explanation:

// include the necessary packages

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

// Declare a class

public class DataReader

{

// Start the main method.

public static void main(String[] args)

{

// create the object of scanner class.

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

// Declare variables.

boolean done = false;

boolean done1 = false;

float sum = 0;

double v;

int count = 0;

// start the while loop

while (!done1)

{

// start the do while loop

do

{

// prompt the user to enter the value.

System.out.println("Value:");

// start the try block

try

{

// input number

v = scan.nextDouble();

// calculate the sum

sum = (float) (sum + v);

}

// start the catch block

catch (Exception nfe)

{

// input a character variable(\n)

String ch = scan.nextLine();

// display the statement.

System.out.println(

"Input Error. Try again.");

// count the value.

count++;

break;

}

}

// end do while loop

while (!done);

// Check whether the value of count

// greater than 2 or not.

if (count >= 2)

{

// display the statement on console.

System.out.println("Sum: " + sum);

done1 = true;

}

}

}

}

Sample Output:

Value:

12

Value:

12

Value:

ten

Input Error. Try again.

Value:

5

Value:

nine

Input Error. Try again.

Sum: 29.0
