Ideas in this flowchart

Java Scanner enables console input
Create a Scanner with new Scanner(System.in)
The variable s becomes active and can be read from
Use methods such as s.nextInt() and s.nextDouble() to obtain specific values
The program blocks until the user enters input and presses Enter or Return
The requested type conversion occurs automatically
Scanner methods cannot force the user to enter valid input
Entering Hello instead of a number causes conversion to fail with InputMismatchException
The complete example reads and displays a user-entered number
The program prompts the user to enter a number
s.nextInt() reads the entered integer into a
The program confirms the entered value with formatted output

"Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in); The variable s is now active and can be read from. You can get specific values from the Scanner by calling various methods such as s.nextInt() to get an int, s.nextDouble() to get a double, etc. When these methods are called, the program blocks until the user enters her input and presses the enter/return key. The conversion to the type you requested is automatic. A full example is depicted in Code Sample 26.2.\n\nOne potential problem with using Scanner is that the methods cannot force a user to enter good input. In the example above, if the user, instead of entering a number, entered \"Hello\", the conversion to a number would fail and result in a InputMismatchException.\n\nScanner s = new Scanner(System.in);\n\nint a;\n\nSystem.out.println(\"Please enter a number: \");\n\na = s.nextInt();\n\nSystem.out.printf(\"Great, you entered %d\n\n\", a);"
