Demonstrates how to implement a custom IsNumeric method.
Line 50:
S3 : String := "Foo123";
begin
Put_Line(S1 & " results in " & Boolean'Image(Is_Numeric(S1)));
Put_Line(S2 & " results in " & Boolean'Image(Is_Numeric(S2)));
Put_Line(S3 & " results in " & Boolean'Image(Is_Numeric(S3)));
end Isnumeric_Test;
The output of the program above is:
152 results in TRUE
-3.1415926 results in TRUE
Foo123 results in FALSE

Returns true (non-zero) if character-string parameter represents a signed or unsigned integer.
Otherwise returns false (zero).

It's generally bad practice in Java to rely on an exception being thrown since exception handling is relatively expensive. If non-numeric strings are common, you're going to see a huge performance hit.
public boolean isNumeric(String input) {
try {
Integer.parseInt(input);
return true;
}
catch (NumberFormatException e) {
// s is not numeric
return false;
}
}
Alternative 1 : Check that each character in the string is number. Note that this will only works for integers.
private static final boolean isNumeric(final String s) {
for (int x = 0; x < s.length(); x++) {
final char c = s.charAt(x);
if (x == 0 && (c == '-')) continue; // negative
if ((c >= '0') && (c <= '9')) continue; // 0 - 9
return false; // invalid
}
return true; // valid
}
Alternative 2 : use a regular expression (a more elegant solution). Also, only for integers.
public static boolean IsNumeric(string inputData) {
final static Regex isNumber = new Regex(@"^-{0,1}\d+$");
Match m = isNumber.Match(inputData);
return m.Success;
}

The ''NSScanner'' class supports scanning of strings for various types. The ''scanFloat'' method will return TRUE if the string is numeric, even if the number is actually too long to be contained by the precision of a ''float''.
if( [[NSScanner scannerWithString:@"-123.4e5"] scanFloat:nil] )
NSLog( @"\"-123.4e5\" is numeric" );
else
NSLog( @"\"-123.4e5\" is not numeric" );
if( [[NSScanner scannerWithString:@"Not a number"] scanFloat:nil] )
NSLog( @"\"Not a number\" is numeric" );
else
NSLog( @"\"Not a number\" is not numeric" );
// prints: "-123.4e5" is numeric
// prints: "Not a number" is not numeric

'''Interpreter:''' [[Perl]] 5.8
Quoting from [http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq4.html#How-do-I-determine-whether-a-scalar-is-a-number%2fwhole%2finteger%2ffloat%3f perlfaq4]:
''How do I determine whether a [[scalar]] is a number/whole/integer/float?''
Assuming that you don't care about [[IEEE]] notations like "NaN" or "Infinity", you probably just want to use a [[regular expression]].
if (/\D/) { print "has nondigits\n" }
if (/^\d+$/) { print "is a whole number\n" }
if (/^-?\d+$/) { print "is an integer\n" }
if (/^[+-]?\d+$/) { print "is a +/- integer\n" }
if (/^-?\d+\.?\d*$/) { print "is a real number\n" }
if (/^-?(?:\d+(?:\.\d*)?&\.\d+)$/) { print "is a decimal number\n" }
if (/^([+-]?)(?=\d&\.\d)\d*(\.\d*)?([Ee]([+-]?\d+))?$/)
{ print "a C float\n" }
There are also some commonly used modules for the task. [[Scalar::Util]] (distributed with 5.8) provides access to perl's internal function "looks_like_number" for determining whether a variable looks like a number. Data::Types exports functions that validate data types using both the above and other regular expressions. Thirdly, there is "Regexp::Common" which has regular expressions to match various types of numbers. Those three modules are available from the CPAN.
If you're on a [[POSIX]] system, Perl supports the "[[POSIX::strtod]]" function. Its semantics are somewhat cumbersome, so here's a "getnum" wrapper function for more convenient access. This function takes a string and returns the number it found, or "[[undef]]" for input that isn't a C float. The "is_numeric" function is a front end to "getnum" if you just want to say, ''Is this a float?''
sub getnum {
use POSIX qw(strtod);
my $str = shift;
$str =~ s/^\s+//;
$str =~ s/\s+$//;
$! = 0;
my($num, $unparsed) = strtod($str);
if (($str eq '') && ($unparsed != 0) && $!) {
return undef;
} else {
return $num;
}
}
sub is_numeric { defined getnum($_[0]) }
Or you could check out the String::Scanf module on the CPAN instead. The POSIX module (part of the standard Perl distribution) provides the "strtod" and "strtol" for converting strings to double and longs, respectively.
