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.

Exploring Uninformed Search in Artificial Intelligence: Basics and Applications

  In artificial intelligence (AI), search algorithms are essential for solving a variety of problems, from navigating a maze to scheduling tasks. Uninformed search, also known as blind search, is a fundamental category of search techniques where the algorithm has no additional information about the states beyond what is provided in the problem definition to guide the search. This page delves into the basics of uninformed search algorithms, their types, and their applications in AI. Understanding Uninformed Search Uninformed search algorithms explore the search space without any guidance on which paths might lead to the goal more efficiently. They rely solely on the information available from the initial problem setup, such as the start state, goal state, and possible actions. This approach contrasts with informed search algorithms, which utilize heuristics to make more educated guesses about the best path to take. Types of Uninformed Search Algorithms   Several uninformed se...

Demystifying Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction to the World of AI

In recent years, the term "artificial intelligence" (AI) has become increasingly prevalent in conversations across various industries. From tech giants to small startups, businesses are exploring AI-driven solutions to streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and innovate in ways previously unimaginable. But what exactly is artificial intelligence, and how does it work? Defining Artificial Intelligence At its core, artificial intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using it), reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. Types of Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence can be broadly categorized into two types: 1. Narrow AI (Weak AI): This type of AI is designed to perform a specific task or a set of tasks. Examples include virtual personal assistants like Siri and Al...
