cannot find symbol problem with try-catch

hey guys the compiler keeps giving me a cannot find symbol for the try-catch here.. i'm trying to scan for a int but i have to user input error check for other stuff and yet i cant seem to be able to catch the exception.. 

try
 {
 starid = sc.nextInt();
 }catch(InputMismatchException e)
  {
  System.out.println("Error in input!!");
  }

Thanks in advance guys...

Really hard to tell, from seven lines of code.

Other than what Jon said, you might not have initialized starid (e.g. int starid = null ;). Please post the exception stack or full error description.

Do you have the right import for InputMismatchException, e.g.

import java.util.InputMismatchException;

or

import java.util.*;

If you could post the exact error message, that would be helpful.
