Get input from user
In this tutorial we are gonna see how to accept input from user. We are using Scanner class to get the input. In the below example we are getting input String, integer and a float number. For this we are using following methods:
1) public String nextLine(): For getting input String
2) public int nextInt(): For integer input
3) public float nextFloat(): For float input
import java.util.Scanner;
class GetInputData
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int num;
float fnum;
String str;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
//Get input String
System.out.println("Enter a string: ");
str = in.nextLine();
System.out.println("Input String is: "+str);
//Get input Integer
System.out.println("Enter an integer: ");
num = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("Input Integer is: "+num);
//Get input float number
System.out.println("Enter a float number: ");
fnum = in.nextFloat();
System.out.println("Input Float number is: "+fnum);
}
}
Output
Enter a string:
apple
Input String is: apple
Enter an integer:
27
Input Integer is: 27
Enter a float number:
12.56
Input Float number is: 12.56
