Need a method to validate Scanner input to be between 2 and

Need a method to validate Scanner input to be between 2 and 5. Otherwise ignore the value (meaning ignore non int value, and int value less than 2 and more than 5) need to use \"do while\" and \"try catch\"

Solution

import java.util.Scanner;


public class ScannerTest {
  
   public static void main(String args[]){
       Scanner scan= new Scanner(System.in);// scan to read input from the user
       boolean shouldContinue=true; // boolean to decide whether to continue or not
       // do-while loop for infinte input
       do{
           try{
               int num=Integer.parseInt(scan.next());// reading integer from the input. throws Number format exception if not an integer
               // if the input is less than 2
               if(num<2){
                   System.out.println(\"Input is less than 2..ignoring\");
                   shouldContinue=false;
               }
               //if the input is greater than 2
               else if(num>5){
                   System.out.println(\"Input is greater than 5..ignoring\");
                   shouldContinue=false;
               }
           }
           // if the input is not of int type then catch block will catch it
           catch(NumberFormatException e){
               System.out.println(\"Input is not an integer..ignoring\");
               shouldContinue=false;
           }
       }while(shouldContinue);
   }
  
}
