who to take user input ,not by console...

[Shyam Singh]

pls send me a simple example for taking user input which should be used in other calss ..

• i suppose it will not be possible to take that input in one other meyhod except main() . i think it only be possible by System.in.readline().

Help me its urgent.... give me very simple example

[Nicholas Jordan]

System.in.read();

The returns what the user typed as though one had coded

int anInt = (int)'c';//

People are going to laugh at me for the cast, it is an auto-conversion, all widening conversions are implicit generally.

System.in.read(); will not continue operation of the Java Virtual Machine until the user types something. I try to use a simple file and do reading from that. There is a Scanner class that is popular for reading System.in but that may not be what you need.

Are you just trying to get going?

import java.lang.*;

public class ctruct
{
public static void main(String args[])
{

String ename;
System.out.println("Enter emp name");
ename=System.in.readline();
System.out.println("Enter emp name -->"+ename);
}
}

this is the lay man code .. i will learn scanner class later .. 2 -3 yrs back i use to take i/p by system.in.readln() or somthing like that..

It is difficult to decipher your qestion. I tried to reply earlier when you posted but the cgi would not propagate your second post.

// maybe this is what poster asking
class FirstClass{
  public static void main(String[] args){
      SecondClass s = new SecondClass();
      String t = System.in.readline();// or scanner
       s.doSomething(t);

Is having another class written to work with the readline(); what you are trying to grasp?
