Is there an equivalent method to C's scanf in Java?

Question

Java has the notion of format strings, bearing a strong resemblance to format strings in other languages. It is used in JDK methods like String#format() for output conversio

Answer 1

Java always takes arguments as a string type...(String args[]) so you need to convert in your desired type.

• Use Integer.parseInt() to convert your string into Interger.
• To print any string you can use System.out.println()

Example :

  int a;
  a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);

and for Standard Input you can use codes like

  StdIn.readInt();
  StdIn.readString();
