Introduction
The StdIn class provides static methods for reading strings and numbers from standard input. These functions fall into one of four categories:
- those for reading individual tokens from standard input, one at a time, and converting each to a number, string, or boolean
- those for reading characters from standard input, one at a time
- those for reading
The example below shows how you can use it to read input from the user;
try { BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String str = ""; while (str != null) { System.out.print("> prompt "); str = in.readLine(); process(str); } } catch (IOException e) { }
