1、 Introduction

• java.util.Scanner It’s a new feature of Java 5. We can use the scanner class toGet user input。

---

2、 Creating objects

Example:

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

---

3、 Common methods

I. getting input

method:

1. next(): get the next input string.
2. nextLine(): gets the string entered by the user on the next line.

The difference between the two is as follows:

• next：
  • You must read a valid character before you can end the input.
  • The next method will automatically remove the white space encountered before entering a valid character.
  • Only after a valid character is entered, the blank character entered after it will be used as a separator or terminator.
  • The next method cannot get a string with a white space character.
• nextLine：
  • It ends with a newline character, which means that the nextline method returns all the characters before the newline character is entered.
  • You can get white space.

Example:

scanner.next();
scanner.nextLine();

---

II. Is there any input

method:

1. hasNext(): judge whether there is another user input.
2. hasNextLine(): judge whether there is the next line of user input.

Example:

scanner.hasNext();
scanner.hasNextLine();

---

III. turn off reception

method:

• close(): turn off the scanner’s reception of user input.

be careful:

• All classes belonging to IO stream will occupy resources if they are not closed.

Example:

scanner.close();

4、 Comprehensive examples

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    double sum = 0.0;
    int num = 0;
    /*The loop ends when a non numeric string is entered*/
    while (scanner.hasNextDouble()) {
        double x = scanner.nextDouble();
        num++;
        sum = sum + x;
    }
    System.out.println The sum of num + number is + sum;
    System.out.println (Num + "the average number is" + (sum / Num));
    scanner.close();
}
