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.

Pattern 6 | Java | MyCodingNetwork | Alok Tripathi (Code 8)

Problem Statement: Write a program to make a square and mark out its diagonals. Accept the length as input from the user and give output in the following manner: And ( In simple words, we have printed stars (*) on the boundary positions of the matrix and on the centre positions of the matrix we have printed blank space( ) )   THE CODE: Sample Output: In the above program, two int variables r to accept the length of square as input. On line 7, following statement is used to accept the input from the user: int r = sc . nextInt ();   For taking the input Scanner class has been used, more about Scanner class Algorithm: Two for loops are defined: ·         First for loop with counter variable i has initial value 1, conditional statement i less than or equal to r and an updating statement i++ . ·         Inside the first loop there is a second for loop, with counter variable j has ini...

Pattern 1 | Java

Problem Statement: Write a program to draw the following pattern of NxN(where N is the input): * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (here, N=5) THE CODE Output: Here, the input is 8 Simplification : In the above problem, two for loops are used: 1. The first for loop is having i as counter variable with  initial value of 1 and ending value of 10 with an updation statement i++. 2. The second for loop is having j as counter variable with initial value of 1 and ending value of 10 with an updation statement j++. The second  for loop is used to print  * in the respective column (the value of j represents the column number). It is having a print statement System.out.println("* ") to print * in each column(for convenience, I've added a space for better visibility of columns in the output). The first for loop is used to define rows( the value of i represents the row number). It is having a print statement System.out.print() to change rows each time the second for ...

Kadane's Algorithm | The-Algorithm-Drive | MyCodingNetwork

Kadane's Algorithm Kadane’s algorithm is used to find largest contagious subarray sum for a given array. It is one of the most common types of algorithms used to find the subarray with largest sum. The time complexity of this algorithm is O(N) .     Output :            Code Explanation: On line 4, there’s an  int  array variable a[ ], which is the array on which we have to perform our task. We have stored the value of the array, in variable l. cur_max,  is a temporary variable for traversing the array and storing positive sum occurring and update it after each iteration.  global_max , is a variable for storing the highest sum of subarray. ‘ start ’ variable stores the starting index of the desired subarray and ‘ end ’ variable stores the last index of that subarray, that is, contagious subarray with the highest sum. Working: Talking about the working of this algorithm, it uses one for loop and the entire operation can be perfo...
