Tell me more about Scanners Scanner is part of the java.util standard library. An import statement indicates that the software needs to make use of a library. Import statements occur immediately before the class definition. The statement import java.util.*; provides access to the entire java.util library. Scanner is a class, but it is not a program. What we can get from it are Scanner objects. A Scanner object can be directed to get information from an input source. Java supplies the new operator to get a new object. The act of setting up a new object is called construction. The method that performs setting up is called a constructor. A Scanner constructor can be given a parameter to specify the input source. Java provides System.in as the input counterpart to System.out; that is, System.in is the Java representation of a user's keyboard. When System.in is specified to be the input source for a Scanner, a program can use the Scanner to process user input. The expression new Scanner( System.in ) produces and constructs a new Scanner object that can read what the user enters. The statement Scanner stdin = new Scanner( System.in ) defines and initializes a Scanner variable named stdin. With the variable, a program can send messages to its object to read the next number, string, line of text, or logical value. Every Scanner object has a method nextInt() for reading the next input as an integer value. Every Scanner object has a method nextDouble() for reading the next input as a decimal value. Every Scanner object has a method nextBoolean() for reading the next input as a logical value. Every Scanner object has a method next() for reading the next input as a string. Every Scanner object has a method nextLine() for reading the rest of the current line of input as a string.
