Check if a string can be converted to an int without using Integer # parseInt

If you want to check whether the input character string is converted to int type, you may see the source code that judges as follows.

try {
    Integer.parseInt(str);
    return true;
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
    return false;
}

__ I personally felt uncomfortable with this method, such as converting it to false if it didn't work, and then squeezing the exceptions, so I was somehow shunned. __ To put it plainly, I have a physiological disgust.

That's why I made a method __ to check if a given string can be converted to an int without using __ʻInteger # parseInt` (´ ・ ω ・ `)

final public class IntegerUtils {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("123")); //=> true
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("-23")); //=> true
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("12A")); //=> false
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("ABC")); //=> false
        
        //Even the boundary value can be judged accurately.
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("2147483647")); //=> true
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("2147483648")); //=> false
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("-2147483648")); //=> true
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("-2147483649")); //=> false
        
        // ==== 2017-05-16 Added test cases.===
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("0")); //=> true
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("473")); //=> true
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("+42")); //=> true
        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("-0")); //=> true

        System.out.println(IntegerUtils.isInteger("-")); //=> false

It's an algorithm, or something very simple, it just checks character by character to see if a given argument can be converted to an integer. The only difference from using ʻInteger # parseInt` is that it doesn't use exceptions, but I personally feel that it's more sophisticated than "false if it's an exception".
