Introduction to Input in Java
• • Input in Java refers to capturing data from
external sources.
• • Common sources of input:
• - Keyboard (console input)
• - Files
• - Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
• - Network sockets
• • Java provides multiple methods to handle
input efficiently.
Scanner Class
• • Part of java.util package.
• • Simplifies reading primitive types and
strings.
• • Methods:
• - next(): Reads a word (String)
• - nextLine(): Reads a full line (String)
• - nextInt(): Reads an integer
• - nextDouble(): Reads a double
• • Example:
BufferedReader Class
• • Part of java.io package.
• • Used for efficient reading of text.
• • Requires InputStreamReader for console
input.
• • Methods:
• - readLine(): Reads a line of text
• • Example:
• BufferedReader br = new
BufferedReader(new
Console Class
• • Part of java.io package.
• • Provides a secure way to handle input,
especially passwords.
• • Methods:
• - readLine(): Reads a line of text
• - readPassword(): Reads password input
• • Example:
• Console console = System.console();
• String input = console.readLine();
Command-Line Arguments
• • Input passed during program execution.
• • Accessed via the args parameter of the main
method.
• • Example:
• public static void main(String[] args) {
• for (String arg : args) {
• System.out.println(arg);
• }
• }
File Input
• • Reads data from files.
• • Common classes:
• - FileReader
• - BufferedReader
• - Scanner
• • Example with Scanner:
• Scanner fileScanner = new Scanner(new
File("file.txt"));
• while (fileScanner.hasNextLine()) {
JavaFX Input
• • Used in graphical user interfaces.
• • Components for input:
• - TextField
• - TextArea
• - PasswordField
• • Example:
• TextField textField = new TextField();
• String input = textField.getText();
Best Practices and Examples
• • Validate all user inputs.
• • Use try-catch blocks to handle exceptions.
• • Close resources to avoid memory leaks.
• • Examples:
• - Reading integers and strings using Scanner.
• - Secure input using Console class.
• - File reading and processing.
