LESSON 8

Learn how Java programs can receive information from users using Scanner.

Java Code

Study the example and understand what each part does.

JAVA

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print("Enter your name: ");

        String name = input.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Welcome " + name);
    }
}

Java code normally runs using the Java Development Kit on a computer, Android Studio or another Java development environment. This course page presents the code examples without pretending that the browser is running Java directly.
