use the Scanner class to take input code example

Example 1: how to use scanners in java

import java.util.Scanner;

Public class Scanner {
	Public static void main(String[] args) {
    	// Scanner *scanner name here* = new Scanner(System.in);
      	Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
      	System.out.println("Type anything and the scanner will take that input and print it");
      	String next = scan.next();
      	System.out.println(next);
    } 
}

Example 2: java get input

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String s = sc.next();
int n = sc.nextInt();
double d = sc.nextDouble();
float f = sc.nextFloat();

// more fast way
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String s = br.readLine(); // read line
int c = br.read();        // read single char
