exception handeling to check type

[tolkienarda]

hello wonderful people of java land

i am writing a program and trying to check to make sure some of my inputs are valid integers. i was told that i needed to read into exception handeling and now that i have done so i think i know what i have to do but i would just like to check with some of you experts and make sure i am going to do the right thing
pesudo code:

try block
-get inputs from user
-store inputs into a type int

catch - if exception is thrown for a not valid conversion
-output to user that the input was not valid
-re attempt input //QUESTION here how do i go back to the catch block can i
have this in a loop or somthing

finally
-do the stuff i needed to do with the ints


thanks
eric

Yes you can use a while to loop until the user puts in valid input.
The "-do the stuff i needed to do with the ints" part should be done in the try block as well. The finally block is not for doing the actual processing.
