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.

Print a Linked List in Reverse Order | Linked List | Java | MyCodingNetwork

  Print a Linked List in Reverse Order After mastering the four standard operations on a Linked List - Creation, Traversal, Insertion, and Deletion - we will now proceed to the next topic: ' Printing a Linked List in Reverse Order '. It serves as a continuation of our previous discussions. We will build upon the topics and ideas that we have previously explored to further our understanding about Linked List. We 'll be using recursive approach for the implementation. For this a separate recursive function would be needed. Concept of stack is also implemented for print statement. Let's discuss the algorithm for the same: Algorithm: Create a function printReverse() , which takes 'head ' of the Linked List as the parameter. Take a temporary node ' cur ' and assign it with the head of the list. Create a base case which checks if cur==null . If base case is TRUE, then function would return . If base case is FALSE, then the statements following that base case ...

Pattern 2 | Java

  Problem Statement: Write a program to draw the following pattern: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (take a variable n which decides the number of rows, for above example, n=5) THE CODE Output: *  * *  * * *  * * * *  * * * * *  * * * * * *          * * * * * * *        * * * * * * * *      * * * * * * * * *    * * * * * * * * * * Simplification : In the above problem, the value of n is 10 (i.e., the number of rows are 10) 1. In the first for loop we have i as the counter variable with initial value of 1 and having a condition i.e. i should be less than or equal to n.  It has a print statement after the second for loop,  System.out.println(); w hich is used for changing the row, each time for the second for loop terminates. 2. In the second for loop we have j as the counter variable with initial value of 1 having a condition i.e. j  should be  less than or equal to i (t...
