If you want someone to read your code, please put the code inside <pre><code> and </code></pre> tags. For example:

    this is about character in a string and not whole string. For ex: “`Character.isDigit(“hello1world”.charAt(5))“` returns true

    It could be easy to do as follows:


    public boolean isStringDigit(String str){
    try{
    Integer.valueOf(str);
    }catch(NumberFormatException ne){
    System.out.println("In NFE ");return false;
    }
    return true;
    }
