Validate if a given string is numeric.
Some examples:
"0"
=> true
" 0.1 "
=> true
"abc"
=> false
"1 a"
=> false
"2e10"
=> true
Note: It is intended for the problem statement to be ambiguous. You should gather all requirements up front before implementing one.
One line with Regex:
public class Solution {
public boolean isNumber(String s) {
return s.matches(" *[+-]?(([0-9]*[.]?[0-9]+)|([0-9]+[.][0-9]*))([eE][+-]?[0-9]+)? *");
}
}
