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
}
}
