hi,
i'm a newbie in java programming but a great enthusiast. right now i'm
writing the game of Nim and i'm having a hard time finding how to dummy
proof the input that the player is required to enter. actually i've done the
range check (NOT below 1 and NOT above the half of the total) but what i
want to include also is check against _double_. ? How do u do that? Cause in
the whole program i'm using _int_s. Thanks in advance!
