Java Input & Output Statements

Scanner Class

A Scanner class is used to enable a program to read i.e. numbers and strings. Before using a Scanner class, the program must import the package import java.util.*;.

A Scanner class to create and obtain input from command window is as follows:
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);.

Methods

The various methods of the scanner class are as follows:

• (i) int nextInt()
• (ii) double nextDouble()
• (iii) String next()
• (iv) String nextLine()
• (v) boolean hasNext()
• (vi) boolean hasNextDouble

(i) int nextInt()

Returns a integer value. The default value for a field of type int().

(ii) double nextDouble()

Returns a double value. The default value for a field of type double is 0.0 .

(iii)String next()

Read individual words. i.e., the method next reads the characters until a white space character such as a space, tab or new line is encountered, then return a string.(excluding the whitespace)

(iv) String nextLine()

Read a line of text. The methods nextLine read characters typed by the user until the newline character is encountered, then return a string(excluding the new line)

(v) boolean hasNext()

Determines whether there is another word in the input. The method hasNext returns the boolean value true if there is more data; otherwise, it returns false.

(vi) boolean hasNextInt()

Determines whether the next character sequence represents a floating point.

(vii) boolean hasNextDouble()

Determines whether the next chracter sequence represents a floatingpoint.
