Scanner Class | Java | Code Trivia | MyCodingNetwork


Scanner class in Java is used to accept values from the user. The values can be used in the program. It is part of the java.util package. Users can use it to provide values of primitive data types like boolean, int, float, double, String etc. One of the major advantages of Scanner class is that users can test the program for various inputs instead of the constant values assigned to the variables of the program. In other words, it increases the useability of the program.


Syntax: 

1. To import the class
import java.util.Scanner;
OR
import java.util.*;
2. Creating object sc of the Scanner
Scanner sc=new Scanner (System.in);


Program 1:

import java.util.Scanner;
class Test{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner (System.in);
//nextInt() is function to receive value of int
//data type 
int a=sc.nextInt();
int b=sc.nextInt();
int sum=a+b;
System.out.println(sum);
}}
Output can change according to the values entered by the user.
Now compare it with the program given below:


Program 2:

import java.util.Scanner;
class Test{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner (System.in);
//nextInt() is function to receive value of int
//data type 
int a=34;
int b=67;
int sum=a+b;
System.out.println(sum);
}}

Explanation: Output is the same whenever the user runs the program, that is, 101.


Hope you liked this explanation, for any doubt or feedback you can write down in the comment section.

Video Lecture- https://youtu.be/StCjnwfS0NQ Basic structure of a Java program public class xyz { public static void main(String args[]) { //Code //Code //Code //Code //Code }} public - access specifier/modifiers which makes the particular entity accessible throughout the program i.e., it can be accessed by other classes also. static - a keyword by which we don't have to create an object of that particular entity. void- return type keyword by which the function becomes non-returning type. main - name of the function String args[] - argument for main function Print Statement Syntax: System.out.println() ; Three types of Iteration statements are: for loop Example: for(int i=0; i<=5;i++) { //Code //Code //Code //Code //Code } The body of the above for loop will be executed 6 times. while loop( entry control loop) Syntax: while (condition) { //Code //Code //Code //Code //Code } The body of the above while loop will be executed continuously as long as the condition of the while is tr...

Binary Search | The-Algorithm-Drive | MyCodingNetwork

Binary Search The next algorithm, we are going to study is Binary Search . As the name suggests, it is a searching algorithm. It is one of the very famous searching techniques. Unlike its counterpart linear search, it is way more advanced.  Time complexity of linear search is O(N) whereas that of binary search is O (log N). Source Code: Output Number Found at index =5 Working Let’s come on to the working of the algorithm, as you can see in the above program, we need a sorted array to perform binary search algorithm. 1.    Here, bin function in the above program it accepts 4 parameters, that is, the array arr , lower index low , higher index high and the searching number sn . 2.    Next, we have a do-while loop to check if high is greater than or equal to low (high>=low). If at any point of iteration this condition is not satisfied, it means the searching number sn does not exist in the array. Following is the algorithm for binary search: while ...

Pattern 4 | Java | MyCodingNetwork | Alok Tripathi (Code 6)

Problem Statement: Write a program to draw the following pattern where number of rows are decided by the user and given to the program as input:         *       * *     * * *   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Take a variable n which takes the number of rows as input from the user, For above example, n=6) OUTPUT: The above program is the extension of the previous program (Pattern #3). This program asks the user to input the number of rows that it wants in the program. For accepting the input, the program has Scanner class which has been extracted from the package java.util . In this program, we will learn how to receive data from the user. If you remember in three previous patterns, the program itself had the input of number of rows where n=8, but now the user will tell the program how many rows are to be added.   Simplification 1.     In Line 1, the java.util  package has been imported, to use the Scanner cl...
