Getting and storing user input
The Scanner object allows people to input data. It's a simple text scanner which can parse primitive types and strings.
A Scanner scans the input by tokens using a delimiter pattern. The default delimiter is a space. The scanner reads the input token by token. The resulting tokens may be converted into values of different types using various methods.
To include the Scanner class in your program
Add the following declaration to the top of your code:
import java.util.Scanner;
Methods of the Scanner class
| Method | Returns |
|---|---|
| int nextInt() | Returns the next token as an int. |
| long nextLong() | Returns the next token as a long. |
| float nextFloat() | Returns the next token as a float. |
| double nextDouble() | Returns the next token as a long. |
| String next() | Finds and returns the next complete token from this scanner and returns it as a string; a token is usually ended by whitespace such as a blank or line break. If no token exists, NoSuchElementException is thrown. |
| String nextLine() | Returns the rest of the current line, excluding any line separator at the end. |
| void close() | Closes the scanner object. |
