Scanner reset() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 11 Oct, 2018

The reset() method of java.util.Scanner class resets this scanner. On resetting a scanner, it discards all of its explicit state information which may have been changed by invocations of useDelimiter(java.util.regex.Pattern), useLocale(java.util.Locale), or useRadix(int).

Syntax:

public Scanner reset()

Return Value: This function returns this scanner which has been reset.

Below programs illustrate the above function:

Program 1:

// Java program to illustrate the 
// reset() method of Scanner class in Java 
  
import java.util.*; 
  
public class GFG1 { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
        throws Exception 
    { 
  
        String s = "Geeksforgeeks has Scanner Class Methods"; 
  
        // create a new scanner 
        // with the specified String Object 
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s); 
  
        // print a line of the scanner 
        System.out.println("Scanner String:\n"
                           + scanner.nextLine()); 
  
        // change the locale of this scanner 
        scanner.useLocale(Locale.US); 
  
        // change the radix of this scanner 
        scanner.useRadix(30); 
  
        System.out.println("\nBefore Reset:\n"); 
  
        // print the values before reset 
        System.out.println("Radix: " + scanner.radix()); 
        System.out.println("Locale: " + scanner.locale()); 
  
        // reset 
        scanner.reset(); 
  
        System.out.println("\nAfter Reset:\n"); 
  
        System.out.println("Radix: " + scanner.radix()); 
        System.out.println("Locale: " + scanner.locale()); 
  
        // close the scanner 
        scanner.close(); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Scanner String:
Geeksforgeeks has Scanner Class Methods

Before Reset:

Radix: 30
Locale: en_US

After Reset:

Radix: 10
Locale: en_US

Program 2:

// Java program to illustrate the 
// reset() method of Scanner class in Java 
  
import java.util.*; 
  
public class GFG1 { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
        throws Exception 
    { 
  
        String s = "Geeksforgeeks"; 
  
        // create a new scanner 
        // with the specified String Object 
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s); 
  
        // print a line of the scanner 
        System.out.println("Scanner String:\n"
                           + scanner.nextLine()); 
  
        // change the locale of this scanner 
        scanner.useLocale(Locale.US); 
  
        // change the radix of this scanner 
        scanner.useRadix(12); 
  
        System.out.println("\nBefore Reset:\n"); 
  
        // print the values before reset 
        System.out.println("Radix: " + scanner.radix()); 
        System.out.println("Locale: " + scanner.locale()); 
  
        // reset 
        scanner.reset(); 
  
        System.out.println("\nAfter Reset:\n"); 
  
        System.out.println("Radix: " + scanner.radix()); 
        System.out.println("Locale: " + scanner.locale()); 
  
        // close the scanner 
        scanner.close(); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Scanner String:
Geeksforgeeks

Before Reset:

Radix: 12
Locale: en_US

After Reset:

Radix: 10
Locale: en_US
