GETTING USER INPUT
WITH SCANNER
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Interactive Programs
• The Scanner class provides convenient methods
for reading input
• A Scanner object can be set up to read input from
various sources, from a user typing values on the
keyboard to parsing a string or file
• Keyboard input is represented by System.in

Reading Input
• The following line creates a Scanner object that
reads from the keyboard:
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
• Once created, the Scanner object can be used to
invoke various input methods, such as:
answer = scan.nextLine();
• The nextLine method reads all of the input until
the end of the line is found

Input Tokens
• Unless specified otherwise, white space is used to
separate the elements (called tokens) of the input
• White space includes space characters, tabs, new
line characters
• The next method of the Scanner class reads the
next input token and returns it as a string
• Methods such as nextInt and nextDouble
read data of particular types
• See GasMileage.java

SCANNING WITH LOOPS
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
While Loop Sentinel Template (File Input):
setup file scanner
while (there is more input){
get input
statements to be repeated
}
File Reading Example:
ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
Scanner s = new Scanner(new File(“in.txt”));
while (s.hasNext()){
String line = s.nextLine(); // get input
System.out.println(line);
// print line OR
lines.add(line);
// add line to array list
}

Practice Loops & File IO (Scanner)
• Step 1: Create a project named
FileScreenPrinter, with a class FileScreenPrinter
• Step 2: Create a file named phrases.txt in the
FileScreenPrinter project that contains phrases
• Step 3: Store all the phrases into an ArrayList
• Step 4: Write a main that reads in a file & prints
out each line extracting it from the collection, not
from the file. Be sure to close the file Scanner
