Taking User Input in Java (with Scanner)

 

🧪 Step 1: Import the Scanner

Before using it, you need to import it at the top of your code:

import java.util.Scanner;


✏️ Example: Asking for a Name
import java.util.Scanner;

public class InputExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);  // Create Scanner

        System.out.print("What's your name? ");
        String name = input.nextLine();  // Read a line of text

        System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "!");
    }
}
