Standard Output Window
• Using System.out, we can output
multiple lines of text to the standard
output window.
• The exact style of standard output window
depends on the Java tool you use.

The println Method
• We use println instead of print to skip a
line.
int x = 123, y = x + x;
System.out.println( "Hello, Dr. Caffeine.“ );
System.out.print( " x = “ );
System.out.println( x );
System.out.print( " x + x = “ );
System.out.println( y );
System.out.println( " THE END“ );

Formatting Output with printf
System.out.printf("Hello there!");
Consists of only the format string and the statement:
System.out.printf("There are %.2f inches in %d
centimeters.%n",centimeters / 2.54, centimeters);
Suppose the value of centimeter is 150, the output
is:
• Consists of both the format string and argumentList.
• %.2f and %d are called format specifiers.
By default, there is a one-to-one correspondence between format
specifiers and the arguments in argumentList.
• The first format specifier, %.2f, is matched with the first
argument, which is the expression centimeters / 2.54.
•

Formatting Output with
printf
• The second format specifier, %d, is matched with the
•

•
•
second argument, which is centimeters.
The format specifier %n positions the insertion point
at the beginning of the next line.
If centimeters = 150  150/2.54 =59.05511811023
The o/p would be :
There are 59.06 inches in 150 centimeters
The output of a printf statement is right-justified by
default. To force the output to be left-justified,
negative column widths may be used.

Introduction to OOP
Standard Input
• To input primitive data values, we use the
Scanner class.
• 4 steps are needed to be able to use input
primitive:
– Step 1: import the Scanner class:
• import Java.util.Scanner;
– Step 2 : declaring a reference variable of a Scanner
• Scanner read ;
//we named the object read
– Step 3: creating an instance of the Scanner
• read = new Scanner (System.in);
– Step 4: use specific methods to enter data
• int x = read.nextInt();

Example
1 import java.util.Scanner;
2 Scanner input ; // declaring the reference variable of a Scanner
3 int area ,length, width; // declaring variables to store entries
4 input = new Scanner (System.in); // creating an instance
5 length = input.nextInt(); //reading the length from the keyboard
6 width = input.nextInt(); //reading the width from the keyboard
7 area = length * width ;
// computing the area
// displaying the result
8 System.out.println(“the legnth is ”+ lenght);
9 System.out.println(“the width is ”+ width);
10 System.out.println(“the area is ”+ area);

nextFloat( )
float f = input.nextFloat( );
nextInt( )

nextShort( )
short s = input.nextShort( );
next()

Input
• Reading a Single Character
if ch is a char variable. To input A into
ch, you can use the following
statement:
ch = input.next().charAt(0);
