Input/output

In this, you will learn simple ways to display


output to users and take input from users in
Java.
 Java Output
In Java, you can simply use: System.out.println(); or
System.out.print(); or
System.out.printf();
 to send output to standard output (screen).
 Here, System is a class
out is a public, static field: it accepts output data.
Difference between println(), print() and printf()

 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.
 printf() - It provides string formatting (similar to printf in
C/C++ programming).
Example

class AssignmentOperator {
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.
example
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
Java Input
 Java provides different ways to get input from
the user. However, in this, 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.
 Then, we need to create an object of
the Scanner class. We can use the object to
take input from the user.
example
Cont….
 In the above example, notice the line
 Scanner input = new
Scanner(System.in);Here, we have created an
object of Scanner named input.
 The System.in parameter is used to take
input from the standard input. It works just
like taking inputs from the keyboard.
 We have then used the nextLine() method of
the Scanner class to read a line of text from
the user.
Import Scanner Class
 As we can see from the above example,
we need to import
the java.util.Scanner package before we
can use the Scanner class.
 import java.util.Scanner;
 Create a Scanner Object in Java
 Once we import the package, here is how
we can create Scanner objects.
Examples
// read input from the input stream
Scanner sc1 = new Scanner(InputStream input);
// read input from files
Scanner sc2 = new Scanner(File file);
// read input from a string
Scanner sc3 = new Scanner(String str);
Here, we have created objects of
the Scanner class that will read input
from InputStream, File, and Stringrespectively.
Java Scanner Methods to Take Input
 The Scanner class provides various methods that
allow us to read inputs of different types.
Method Description
reads an int value from
nextInt()
the user
reads a float value form
nextFloat()
the user
reads a boolean value
nextBoolean()
from the user
reads a line of text from
nextLine()
the user
reads a word from the
next()
user
reads a byte value from
nextByte()
the user
reads a double value from
nextDouble()
the user
