Question

Guys I need your help. I am doing an online degree in computer science and I am a naive programmer. I have been introduced to NetBeans 7.2 but i am unable to get user-input because its not a built in function. could you please teach the simplest way to get a user-input in netbeans 7.2??

Answer 1

well are u using netbeans for Java

Answer 2

Would like to share the code with us, i have an idea what you r talking about.

Answer 3

ok not sure if this answer is right but this is how i wired up my input from the keyboard..
System.out.println("(press Enter to exit)"); // This is the code to delay ending the input
try
{
System.in.read(); // Read some input from the keyboard
}
catch (IOException e) //Catch the input exception
{
return; // and just return
}
// it simple just returns whatever you enter with the keyboard.

Answer 4

well this looks like it is in Java so you would have to add this line on the top before the main
import java.util.Scanner
then you would put
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
before the System.out.println("");

Answer 5

Well NetBeans does not only support java but in such case yes @ jasd33p11 have your answer.

the Syntax is:

import java.util.Scanner;

Scanner variable_name_for_user_input = new Scanner(System.in); //that is your scanner object

string variable;
variable = variable_name_for_user_input.newLine();
