hello everybody,
i start with that to do my work, but i have a problem in reading from the (kb),

import java.io.*;
class sack{
public static void main(String[] args)  {
System.out.println("\n enter your string \n ");
InputStreamReader io= new InputStreamReader(System.in);
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(io);
 System.out.println("io"+br);        
}
}

when it run it will not let me inter any thing
it just type all that
enter your string
iojava.io.BufferedReader@190d11

and said process complete
what is the problem please help
thanks in advance

Why dont you use the Scanner class to read from the keyboard! and what exactly you want to read. In your code you missed .readLine() methode types and also a variable to store what you have read!:

thank u for reply
i want to read an ip from keybord
to compare it with a hashmap that i built earliar i also try with scanner it also not work i think i use it in a wromg way
thanks for help

First you must have a variable to store what you are going to read! like this:

String str = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)).readLine();

do u mean using this with scaner?

[smohd]

That is a buffer reader, but the scanner is the same you must have a variable to store what you are going to read.
If you want to use Scanner class then it will import java.util.Scanner, then :

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
String str = keyboard.nextLine();

thanks for help
i want the user to enter an ip address then i take that ip as a value to a hashmap that i made before(the value and the key of the map are string), then i return to hin the key of that ip address, then he inter that two(ip address and the key) if it match he win else he loss
so how can i read the first enter(ip add), then the two enter (ip an correct key)?
thanks for time u take to read that
with best regards

[smohd]

Just use any of them either Scanner class or bufferReader. First you will create an instance of one of them like how I did it before then you will ask the user to enter as you planned and check for equality> Try it your self, and if you get problem you can show us what you have tried and where you failed. This site plans to build strong programmer who can try things that they think complex!

thank u for all the time u spend to help me i m so glad i can enter any thing from the kb,
by this

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class synack{
public static void main(String[] args)  {
System.out.println(" please inter your correct ip: ");
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);  
String str = keyboard.nextLine(); 
System.out.println("inter two keys");
  Scanner ip = new Scanner(System.in);  
String str1 = ip.nextLine();
String str2 = ip.nextLine();
}
}

soooooo much thank
i can now start doing my work
thanksss again
am sorry that i can't press the bottun more than 1
best regards


what i inter is now in (str,str1 & str2)
is that right?

Glad I help. But also you may need to know other methods available in Scanner class, look at the method summary and other issues concerned here.

Also you dont need to create a new object for every input, you can just say:

public static void main(String[] args)  {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); 

System.out.println(" please inter your correct ip: ");
String str = keyboard.nextLine(); 
System.out.println("inter two keys");
  //Scanner ip = new Scanner(System.in); no need  
String str1 = keyboard.nextLine();
String str2 = keyboard.nextLine();
}

You shouldn't use more than one scanner. Also I think you should be using BufferedReader for this task.

It is bad practice to make more than one Scanner object for the same file, because you can get a problem with the File being blocked (unable to be read) because the other Scanner is already reading it. You won't have this problem because you are using System.in (I think, not 100% sure). At least that's how it works with BufferedReader if you don't close it.

[smohd]

That is a good idea for your work. You may read buffer reader from the links below:
