java scanner functions code example

Example 1: java scanner

import java.util.Scanner;

// import scanner 

Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in); // Make scanner obj

String inputString = myScanner.nextLine(); // Take whole line

boolean inputBoolean = myScanner.nextBoolean(); //Boolean input

long inputLong = myScanner.nextLong(); //Interger,long ... input

Example 2: scanner in java

import java.util.Scanner;		//Import Scanner in java

class classname{
  public void methodname(){
    Scanner s_name = new Scanner(System.in);	//Scanner declaration
    //Use Scanner object to take input
    int val1    =  s_name.nextInt();			//int
    float val2  =  s_name.nextFloat();			//float
    double val3 =  s_name.nextDouble();			//double
    string name =  s_name.nextLine();			//string
    char ch     =  s_name.nextLine().charAt(0);	//character
  }}

Example 3: 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 4: how to use scanner class in java

// import Scanner
import java.util.Scanner;

// Initialize Scanner
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

// Test program with Scanner
System.out.println("What is your name?");
String name = input.nextLine();

System.out.println("Hello," + name + " , it is nice to meet you!");

Example 5: how to provide a long string in Java Scanner class

If you use the nextLine() method immediately following the nextInt() method, 
nextInt() reads integer tokens; because of this, the last newline character for 
that line of integer input is still queued in the input buffer and the next 
nextLine() will be reading the remainder of the integer line (which is empty). 
So we read can read the empty space to another string might work. Check below 
code.
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Solution {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        int i = scan.nextInt();

        // Write your code here.
        double d = scan.nextDouble();
        String f = scan.nextLine();
        String s = scan.nextLine();

        System.out.println("String: " + s);
        System.out.println("Double: " + d);
        System.out.println("Int: " + i);
    }
}
