Java input output

Java provides different ways to get input from the user.


However, in this tutorial, you will learn to get input from user using the object
of Scanner class.
In order to use the object of Scanner, we need to import java.util.Scanner
package.

import java.util.Scanner;

Then, we need to create an object of the Scanner class. We can use the object
to take input from the user.

// create an object of Scanner


Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

// take input from the user


int number = input.nextInt();

Example: Get Integer Input From the User

import java.util.Scanner;

Java Programming

class Input {
public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter an integer: ");


int number = input.nextInt();
System.out.println("You entered " + number);

}
}

Output:

Enter an integer: 23
You entered 23

In the above example, we have created an object named input of


the Scanner class. We then call the nextInt() method of the Scanner class to
get an integer input from the user.
Similarly, we can use nextLong(), nextFloat(), nextDouble(),
and next() methods to get long, float, double, and string input respectively
from the user.

Java Output

In Java, you can simply use to send output to standard output (screen).

System.out.println(); or

System.out.print(); or

System.out.printf();

Here,

• System is a class
• out is a public static field: it accepts output data.
Let's take an example to output a line.

class Topperworld {
public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Java programming is interesting.");


}
}

Output:

Java programming is interesting.

Here, we have used the println() method to display the string.

Difference between println(), print().

• print() - It prints string inside the quotes.


• println() - It prints string inside the quotes similar
like print() method. Then the cursor moves to the beginning of the
next line.

Example: print() and println()

class Output {
public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("1. println ");


System.out.println("2. println ");

System.out.print("1. print ");


System.out.print("2. print");
}
}

Output:

1. println
2. println
1. print 2. print
