How to check if a String is numeric in Java

Question

How would you check if a String was a number before parsing it?

Answer 1

// only int
public static boolean isNumber(int num) 
{
    return (num >= 48 && c <= 57); // 0 - 9
}

// is type of number including . - e E 
public static boolean isNumber(String s) 
{
    boolean isNumber = true;
    for(int i = 0; i < s.length() && isNumber; i++) 
    {
        char c = s.charAt(i);
        isNumber = isNumber & (
            (c >= '0' && c <= '9') || (c == '.') || (c == 'e') || (c == 'E') || (c == '')
        );
    }
    return isInteger;
}

// is type of number 
public static boolean isInteger(String s) 
{
    boolean isInteger = true;
    for(int i = 0; i < s.length() && isInteger; i++) 
    {
        char c = s.charAt(i);
        isInteger = isInteger & ((c >= '0' && c <= '9'));
    }
    return isInteger;
}

public static boolean isNumeric(String s) 
{
    try
    {
        Double.parseDouble(s);
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        return false;
    }
}
