How to Get User Input in Java

Here this example will tell us how to get a User input with InputStreamReader + BufferedReader.

Source Code

package com.beginner.examples;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class GetUserInput {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		//Using this format in Java8 automatically closes resources
		try(Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in))
		{
			System.out.println("Enter your name:");
			
			//Read user input
			String name = scanner.nextLine();
			
			System.out.println("Your name is:"+name);
			
		}
		
		

	}

}

Output:

Enter your name:
Tom
Your name is:Tom

package com.beginner.examples;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class GetUserInput_2 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

		try {

			System.out.println("Enter your name:");
			
			String line = reader.readLine();
			
			System.out.println("Your name is :" + line);
			
			reader.close();

		} catch (IOException e) {

			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		

	}
}

Output:

Enter your name:
