Newbie question on identifiers for basic catch statements

| Hello--I am new to Java and having trouble with the identifiers that
are expected in catch statments. My compiler is telling me that it
doesn't recognize the symbols that I give in catch statements, but I
can't find a site online that explains how the identiers work. I am
trying to do really basic stuff ex.
Try{
do stuff
}
Catch (Some Exception Identifier){
do other stuff
}
but again, I can't get the compiler to take all of the identifiers that
I give. I know the identifiers must come from the inherited class, but
that isn't helping me much.
The error that the compiler gives looks like this
Program6.java:25: cannot find symbol
symbol : class InputMismatchException
location: class QuestionTwoShot
} catch (InputMismatchException e) {
^
1 error
Any help (or even better, explanation) would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi!
You didnt import the class, so the compiler doesnt know where to find it.
Import it with "import java.util.ImportMismatchException"
Example:
import java.util.ImportMismatchException;
public class QuestionTwoShot {
....
}
bye, Ralf

InputMismatchException is in the java.util package. Did you import
java.util?
