How to get input from Console

[karma]

I want to get input from console. Output is easy using System.out.print() but what about input?

You can use a BufferedReader to read a line from the "standard" input stream as follows:

Code:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(System.in);
String input = reader.readLine();

Alternatively, if you are using Java 6 or above, you can use Console class as follows:

Code:

Console console = System.console();
String username = console.readLine("User: ");
