Soln is right. Just make sure with interviewer on what he is expecting. if double then use Double.parseDouble(string s) or float.ParseFloat(String s).

I think a good solution can be something like this: String pattern = "[0-9,.]+"; return (number.matches(pattern));

public static boolean validate(String s) { try { int i = Integer.parseInt(s); } catch(NumberFormatException e) { return false; } return true; }

above solution is wrong as it never said the number is an int, it can be flot, decimal, double or int.

if we are going with regex mihir is on the right track make sure you put (\\+|-) before [0-9]+ since - or + should be allowed also to allow decimal numbers follow this with (\\.)?[0-9]+
