SCANNER

 Scanner is a predefined class it's part of util


package
 Scanner is used to get input from user we can
change data value at runtime
 Scanner class have more methods to perform each
method have an specific operations
 To access scanner class and scanner class
methods need to import package scanner class
 Scanner class package are: import
java.util.Scanner;

Scanner class methods based on datatypes

Example:

 int is variable we can assign value int a=10;


or declare int a;
 In Scanner int data type using as method
nextInt() such as we have all methods

Scanner class methods are:

NUMBERS:

 nextLong() - to give long value input at


runtime
 nextByte() - to give byte value input at
runtime
 nextShort() - to give short value input at
runtime
 nextInt() - to give int value input at runtime

CONDITION:

 nextBoolean() - to give boolean value input at


runtime
DECIMAL:

 nextFloat() - to give float value input at


runtime
 nextDouble() - to give double value input at
runtime

CHARACTER:

 next().charAt(indexvalue) - to give char value


input at runtime

STRING:

 nextLine() - to give String value input at


runtime
 next() - to give String value input at runtime

Difference between next() and nextLine() if using


next() after nextInt() a String will not ask to
input need to use nextLine() method

Example program for Scanner:

Adding two values in int a and b

package javaprogram;

import java.util.Scanner; //Scanner package

public class TopicScanner{


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Scanner class object
Scanner scannerobject=new Scanner(System.in);

// adding both int value a and b


// statement for a
System.out.print("Enter a value of a = ");
int a=scannerobject.nextInt();//input by user a
value at runtime
// statement for b
System.out.print("Enter a value of b = ");
int b=scannerobject.nextInt();//input by user a
value at runtime
int c=a+b;//c variable for add a and b
// added value
System.out.println("added value of a and b is "+c);

}
}

Example program for Scanner class all methods


package javaprogram;

import java.util.Scanner; // Scanner package

public class TopicScanner{


public static void main(String[] args) {

//Scanner class object


Scanner scannerobject=new Scanner(System.in);

//numbers byte we pass input -128 to 127


System.out.print("Enter byte value of a = ");
byte a=scannerobject.nextByte();//input by user a
value at runtime

//numbers short we pass input -32,768 to 32,767


System.out.print("Enter short value of b = ");
short b=scannerobject.nextShort();//input by user a
value at runtime
//numbers int we pass input -2,147,483,648 to
2,147,483,647
System.out.print("Enter int value of c = ");
int c=scannerobject.nextInt();//input by user a
value at runtime

//numbers long we pass input


9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to
9,223,372,036,854,775,807
System.out.print("Enter long value of d = ");
long d=scannerobject.nextLong();//input by user a
value at runtime

//decimal float we pass input Approx. 333.438 (7


decimal digits after point)
System.out.print("Enter float value of e = ");
float e=scannerobject.nextFloat();//input by user a
value at runtime

//decimal double we pass input Approx. 11.8308 (15


decimal digits after point)
System.out.print("Enter double value of f = ");
double f=scannerobject.nextDouble();//input by user
a value at runtime

//character char we pass input single value in


single quotes
System.out.print("Enter char value of g = ");
char g=scannerobject.next().charAt(1);//input by
user a value at runtime

//in String we can't use both at same time


//sequence of character String we pass input
characters in double quotes
System.out.print("Enter String value of h = ");
String h=scannerobject.next();//input by user a
value at runtime
//sequence of character String we pass input
characters in double quotes
System.out.print("Enter String value of i = ");
String i=scannerobject.nextLine(); //input by user
a value at runtime

//boolean used for condition we can pass input true


or false
System.out.println("Enter boolean value of j = ");
boolean j=scannerobject.nextBoolean();//input by
user a value at runtime

//after entered value at runtime its execute all


values using this printing statements
System.out.println("value of byte "+a);
System.out.println("value of short "+b);
System.out.println("value of int "+c);
System.out.println("value of long "+d);
System.out.println("value of float "+e);
System.out.println("value of double "+f);
System.out.println("value of char "+g);
System.out.println("value of String "+h);
System.out.println("value of String "+i);
System.out.println("value of boolean "+j);

}
}

Using a nextLine() method of String after int it


doesn't ask to pass input so need to next() method
of String

package javaprogram;
import java.util.Scanner; //Scanner package

public class TopicScanner{


public static void main(String[] args) {

//Scanner class object


Scanner scannerobject=new Scanner(System.in);

//numbers int we pass input -2,147,483,648 to


2,147,483,647
System.out.print("Enter int value of a = ");
int a=scannerobject.nextInt();//input by user a
value at runtime

//if using nextLine() method in string after int a


string will ask input so need to use next() method
//sequence of character String we pass input
characters in double quotes
System.out.print("Enter String value of b = ");
String b=scannerobject.nextLine();//This will not
work after int

String b1=scannerobject.next();//we can use this


after int

System.out.println("value of int "+a);//input pass


by user
System.out.println("value of String "+b);//input
pass by user
}
}
