wheres the part of the code where you get the input? 

once you get the input then you could do:

if (Math.floor(number) == number) {
    System.out.println("this is an integer");
else {
    System.out.println("this is not an integer");
}

you could try making use of the string parsing functions in Integer class
so here you can test if some string can be parsed to int.


try{
                Integer.parseInt(inputString);
                System.out.println("is an integer");
}
catch(NumberFormatException e){
                System.out.println("not an int");
}


i'm not sure what was the desired effect of your code. as nothing would test true.if (answer < 0 && answer > 0)
