Java Console Input

Access the Scanner code

import java.util.Scanner;

- Put this in the top area of the code between the package name class name

- No need to understand this yet, it will be easier to understand it after you learn what a 'class' is

Receive user input from the console:

Scanner myInputReader = new Scanner (System.in); String myTypedContent = myInputReader.nextLine();

- The code following the input commend will not be run until the user types into the console and presses the Enter key

- Usually you should display a prompt (with System.out.println) before receiving user input, so that the user knows what to do

- In this example, the variable 'myTypedContent' will store the value that the user types in

Receive a specific type of input:

int myTypedValue = myInputReader.nextInt();

- This also works for nextBoolean, nextFloat, nextDouble, nextLong, etc.

Challenge

Prompt the user for a number, display that number multiplied by 5;
