Appendix: Java 2 Input Examples: Example Program Readchars - Java

The document provides 3 examples of Java programs that use BufferedReader to read input from the user: ReadChars reads single characters, ReadLines reads entire lines of input, and ReadInt reads integers by accumulating the character values. Each example initializes variables, uses a try-catch block to handle IOExceptions from the BufferedReader read method, and compiles and runs the program in the same way using the Java interpreter.

Appendix: Java 2 Input Examples


Example Program ReadChars.java import java.io.*; class ReadChars { public static void main(String args[ ]) { char c=' '; BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Enter characters ( period<Enter> stops):"); do { try { c = (char) br.read( ); System.out.println(c); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("IO Exception on Buffered Read"); }; } while (c != '.'); } } Objects of class BufferedReader can produce an IOException. This must be thrown to an external exception handler or caught within the class. To handle any IOExceptions in the example, the flow of control statement try and catch is used. The try section contains a call to the read method the BufferedReader object br. The catch section contains the action to handle an IOException. Since the use of try and catch means that the variable c may not receive a value, it must be initialized before entering the do-while loop. This example is compiled: javac ReadChars.java which produces the file ReadChars.class. It can then be run with the Java 2 program interpreter as follows (note that ".class" is not included in the command line): java ReadChars
