I get this error message Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException

Question

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int a = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println(a);

    }

}

I get the following message and don't know why.

Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException: For input string: "999999999999999"
    at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2123)
    at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2076)
    at codingexercises.Main.main(Main.java:9)

I want to know how to fix the problem.

Cause the number you have entered is too large, use long instead of int. — Amir Hossein

999,999,999,999,999 is too large to fit in an int.

Use nextLong() or nextBigInteger() if you need to support numbers larger than 2,147,483,647.

long can handle values up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.

BigInteger doesn't have a specified limit.

Replace

int a = sc.nextInt();

with

long a = sc.nextLong()

In Java, the Java Language Specification determines the representation of the data types.

The order is: byte 8 bits, short 16 bits, int 32 bits, long 64 bits. All of these types are signed, there are no unsigned versions. However, bit manipulations treat the numbers as they were unsigned (that is, handling all bits correctly).

The character data type char is 16 bits wide, unsigned, and holds characters using UTF-16 encoding (however, it is possible to assign a char an arbitrary unsigned 16 bit integer that represents an invalid character codepoint)

Try with the following code. It will help to solve your problem:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        BigInteger a = sc.nextBigInteger();
        System.out.println(a);
    }
