Scanner class (Java User Input)

-

 For reading data from the console( for user input ), java scanner class can be used. It is found in java.util package.To use the scanner class, create an object of the class and use any of the available methods found in the scanner class documentation.

To read various types of data the following methods can be used


Example

import java.util.Scanner

class Test

{ 

    public static void main(String[ ] args)

{    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter the number");

        int num = sc.nextInt();

        System.out.println("The entered number is" + num);

}

}

Output : Enter the number

                5

                The entered number is 5

Enhanced for - loop or for-each loop

-
 This feature is introduced in Java 5. It is a specially designed loop to retrieve elements of arrays and collections. For eg: (1)int[ ] x= { 10, 20,30,40};       To print elements of the above array: Normal loop                                                                            for(int i=0; i<x.length; i++)                       System.out.println(x[i]); Enhanced for loop                     for(int x1 : x)                     System.out.println(x1); (2) For 2-D arrays Normal loop              ...

Arrays

-
           Arrays are indexed collection of homogeneous data elements.The main advantage of arrays is we can represent huge number of values by using single variable so that readability of the code will be improved. But the main disadvantage is ,it is fixed in size.ie, once we creates an array there is no chance of increasing or decreasing the size based on our requirement.And knowing the size of the array in advance may not be possible always. ARRAY DECLARATION int[ ] x; OR int [ ]x; OR int x[ ]; Size of the array is specified only at creation not during declaration. ARRAY CREATION Every array in java is an object.Hence we can create arrays using 'new' operator. int[ ] a = new int[3]; 'a' is the reference variable ARRAY INITIALIZATION int[ ] x = new int[3]; x[0]=1; x[1]=2; x[2]=3; ARRAY DECLARATION,CREATION AND INITIALIZATION IN A SINGLE LINE int[ ] x= {10,20,30}; char[ ] ch= {'a','e','i','o','u'}; String[ ] s= {"A",...

Java is Strongly typed

-
 In java every variable and every expression has some type.Each and every datatype is clearly defined.Every assignment will be checked by the compiler for type compatibility.Because of the above reasons we can conclude that java is strongly typed language. Example:  byte b = false; // compile time error: incompatible types                                                                                                    found: boolean                                                                ...
