Is there a way to read standard input with JavaScript?

Question

I saw this for lots of other languages but not JavaScript.

I\'m trying to do problems like: this (codechef.com) and of course the programs need to be able to read

If you use node to act as an interpreter in the terminal, you can use this:

---- name.js ----
var readline = require('readline');

var rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout

});

rl.question(">>What's your name?  ", function(answer) {
   console.log("Hello " + answer);
   rl.close();
});

----- terminal ----
node name.js
