Input Streams

  Asked By: Richard    Date: May 26    Category: Java    Views: 1039
  

I'm starting to switch to Java where i learned earlier C and C++.
Currently i'm facing difficuluties writing a simple program that promts the
user to input 2 numbers, where the program then calculates the sum for
example and displays it on the screen.
As i searched for classes responsible for input streams i couldn't find a
way except to read character by character or a stream as whole.
I wish to kopw simply how to input various data types such as integers,
double, characters, ..etc. either by a line reading where the function would
recognize the '\n' character or even write a multiple data types in one line
separated by spaces.
I struggled a little to create such a program InputStreamsCon.java but i
believe there must be an easier way in Java to do it using direct integer
inputs insted of strings.
The second program InputStreams.java doesn't use the console, it uses the
JOptionPane insted but i also couldn't do it in separated spaces.
Could some one please help me with that?
The last program which uses the console is ReadKBWriteScreen.java; it does
direcctly take an integer data type as input, jowever it doesn't recognize
the end of line automatically. In the code it's inside a while loop untill
-1 is returned.

What i need is:

1.) A simple data class method that reads ANY data type as input and
recognizes the end of line.
2.) A simple data class method that reads ANY data type as input and
recognizes the space character to accept multiple variables.
3.) Small examples for illustration

Best regards

Check out the Reader and Writer classes  and their
implementations, especially the FileReader and
FileWriter.

and if you just want to read  stuff in from a string  you can u se
BufferedReader and BufferedWriter

Using the combination of BufferedReader and StringTokenizer...

Here is the example...

import java.io.*;
public class  Token1 {
public static  void main(String[] args) throws  Exception {
double sum=0;
System.out.println("Type two or more numbers  separated by space
to add:(Example: 4 5.6 8.2 2");
//Using BufferedReader recognize the return key input
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(System.in));
String s1 = br.readLine();
//Using string  Tokenizer will split the data  using the
delimiter space.
java.util.StringTokenizer st =new java.util.StringTokenizer
(s1);
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) sum  += Double.parseDouble
(st.nextToken());
System.out.println(" Sum = "+sum);} }
