How to read from the keyboard

Posted by Hiran on January 25, 2002 at 10:24 AM

Just as System.out is the way you access the monitor, System.in access the keyboard. When you create the InputStreamReader object, just pass System.in as the input stream. For example:

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