Possible exception if User enters String instead of Int

Question

I am just playing with Java.I'm trying to force my program to only accept 3 digit numbers. I believe I have successfully done this using a while loop (please correct me if I'm wrong). But how do I go about printing an error statement if the user enters a string. eg: "abc".

My code:

    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class DigitSum {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner newScan = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter a 3 digit number: ");
        int digit = newScan.nextInt();

        while(digit > 1000 || digit < 100)
            {           
             System.out.println("Error! Please enter a 3 digit number: ");
             digit = newScan.nextInt();
            }

        System.out.println(digit);
       }
    }

How about this?

public class Sample {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Scanner newScan = new Scanner (System.in);

        System.out.println ("Enter a 3 digit number: ");
        String line = newScan.nextLine ();
        int digit;
        while (true) {
            if (line.length () == 3) {
                try {
                    digit = Integer.parseInt (line);
                    break;
                }
                catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                    // do nothing.
                }
            }

            System.out.println ("Error!(" + line + ") Please enter a 3 digit number: ");
            line = newScan.nextLine ();
        }

        System.out.println (digit);
    }
}

regexp version:

public class Sample {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Scanner newScan = new Scanner (System.in);

        System.out.println ("Enter a 3 digit number: ");
        String line = newScan.nextLine ();
        int digit;

        while (true) {
            if (Pattern.matches ("\\d{3}+", line)) {
                digit = Integer.parseInt (line);
                break;
            }

            System.out.println ("Error!(" + line + ") Please enter a 3 digit number: ");
            line = newScan.nextLine ();
        }

        System.out.println (digit);
    }
}

Embed the code for Reading the int in try catch block it will generate an exception whenever wrong input is entered then display whatever message you want in catch block
