Java programming Exercises: Validate a given phone number

Java Regular Expression: Exercise-22 with Solution

Write a Java program to validate a given phone number.

Following are valid phone number examples:
“(123)4567890", "1234567890", "123-456-7890", "(123)456-7890",
Following are invalid phone numbers:
"(1234567890)","123)4567890", "12345678901", "(1)234567890", "(123)-4567890", "1", "12-3456-7890", "123-4567", "Hello world"};

Regex explanation:
• ^\\(? - May start with an option "("
• (\\d{3}) - Followed by 3 digits
• \\)? - May have an optional ")"
• [- ]? - May have an optional "-" after the first 3 digits or after optional ) character
• (\\d{3}) - Followed by 3 digits.
• [- ]? - May have another optional "-" after numeric digits
• (\\d{4})$ - ends with four digits

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

//Ref.https://bit.ly/33gB1TY
public class test {
 
   public static void main(String[] args) {	   
	    String text ="(123)4567890";
		System.out.println("Original Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));
	    text ="(123)4567890";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));
	    text ="1234567890";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="123-456-7890";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="(1234567890)";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="123)4567890";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="12345678901";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="(1)234567890";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="(123)-4567890";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="1";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));		
	    text ="12-3456-7890";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));
	    text ="123-4567";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal Phone number: "+text);
		System.out.println("Check the said Phone number is true or not! "+validate(text));
	}
   public static Boolean validate(String text) {
        return text.matches("\\d{10}|(?:\\d{3}-){2}\\d{4}|\\(\\d{3}\\)\\d{3}-?\\d{4}");
   }
}
