Question

how do we take user input from keyboard in java as we use in c++ cin?

Answer 1

It's been quite awhile since I have used Java, but I recall that you need to import java.util.Scanner and create a new scanner object.

Being rather rusty, here is an answer I found on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5287538/how-to-get-basic-user-input-for-java

Answer 2

yes, you could use java.util.Scanner as suggested by Liam or Console class as:

Console console = System.console();
String input = console.readLine("Enter input:");

Answer 3

```
import java.util.Scanner

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in)
int data;

System.out.println("Enter a number to read in"\n);

data = keyboard.nextInt();
```
Something along those lines
