    The Scanner class in the java.util package is used to get user input in Java programs. It provides various methods like nextLine(), nextInt(), and nextDouble() to read different data types from the user. For example, nextLine() reads a String, nextInt() reads an integer, and nextDouble() reads a double. A Scanner object is created passing System.in, and methods like nextLine() are then used to get input and save it to variables for use in the program.

    Java User Input

    The Scanner class is used to get user input, and it is found in


    the 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. In our example,
    we will use the nextLine() method, which is used to read Strings:

    Example
    import java.util.Scanner; // Import the Scanner class

    class MyClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner myObj = new Scanner(System.in); // Create a Scanner
    object
    System.out.println("Enter username");

    String userName = myObj.nextLine(); // Read user input


    System.out.println("Username is: " + userName); // Output user
    input
    }
    }
    Run example »

    If you don't know what a package is, read our Java Packages Tutorial.

    Input Types
    In the example above, we used the nextLine() method, which is used to read
    Strings. To read other types, look at the table below:

    Method Description
    nextBoolean() Reads a boolean value from the user

    nextByte() Reads a byte value from the user

    nextDouble() Reads a double value from the user

    nextFloat() Reads a float value from the user

    nextInt() Reads a int value from the user

    nextLine() Reads a String value from the user

    nextLong() Reads a long value from the user

    nextShort() Reads a short value from the user

    In the example below, we use different methods to read data of various types:

    Example
    import java.util.Scanner;

    class MyClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner myObj = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter name, age and salary");


    // String input
    String name = myObj.nextLine();

    // Numerical input
    int age = myObj.nextInt();
    double salary = myObj.nextDouble();

    // Output input by user


    System.out.println("Name: " + name);
    System.out.println("Age: " + age);
    System.out.println("Salary: " + salary);
    }
    }
