Lecture 2

The Java Scanner class allows user input through methods like nextInt(), nextDouble(), and nextLine(). It is imported from the java.util package. To use Scanner, an object is created passing System.in, and methods are called on that object to read input as different data types like int, double, and string. Examples demonstrate using nextInt() to read an integer, nextDouble() to read a double, and nextLine() to read a string.

Java Scanner Class

Scanner Class
The most common method of taking an input in a java
program is through Scanner Class which is imported from the
Java Utility Package by using the statement given below.
import java.util.Scanner; /*imported at beginning of the
java program*/
The Input is given with the help input stream System.in
Syntax:
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in); /*Where sc is an object
name, you can change it as per your choice*/
Cont…
There are different input methods provided in Scanner class
for different primitive data types such as:

Data Type Method


Integer nextInt()
Double nextDouble()
Long nextLong()
Float nextFloat()
Byte NextByte()
String nextLine() /*Allows Spaces between a String */
next() /*Won’t Allow Spaces between a String */
Java User Input
The Scanner class is used to get user input, and
it is found in the java.util package.
To use the Scanner class, create an object of the
class and use any of the available methods
found in the Scanner class documentation. In
our example, we will use the nextLine() method,
which is used to read Strings:
import java.util.Scanner; // Import the Scanner class

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Scanner object
Scanner myObj = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter username");
// Read user input
String userName = myObj.nextLine();
// Output user input
System.out.println("Username is: " + userName);
}
}
Example 2: Java Scanner nextInt()
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// creates a Scanner object
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter an integer: ");
// reads an int value
int data1 = input.nextInt();
System.out.println("Using nextInt(): " + data1);
}
}
Example 3: Java Scanner nextDouble()
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// creates an object of Scanner
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter Double value: ");
// reads the double value
double value = input.nextDouble();
System.out.println("Using nextDouble(): " + value);
}
}
