I'm trying to make a small program more robust and I need some help with that.
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
int num1;
int num2 = 0;
System.out.print("Enter number 1: ");
num1 = kb.nextInt();
while(num2<num1)
{
System.out.print("Enter number 2: ");
num2 = kb.nextInt();
}
Number 2 has to be greater than number 1
Also I want the program to automatically check and ignore if the user enters a character instead of a number. Because right now when a user enters for example
rinstead of a number the program just exits.
