In this section, you will learn how to get the user input from the command prompt. We are providing you a java application that will communicate with the user at the command line and returns the user input.

Java get User Input

We have prompt the user to enter the name by using System.out.print() method to keep the cursor on the same line. Then we have used the System.in object, along with the InputstreamReader and BufferedReader classes in order to read the user input. The br.readline() method reads the name from the command line. After pressing the enter key, you will get the user input.

Here is the code of GetUserInput.java

import java.io.*;

public class GetUserInput {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
       System.out.print("Enter your name and press Enter: ");
       BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
       String name = null;
       try {
         name = br.readLine();
       } catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println("Error!");
         System.exit(1);
       }
       System.out.println("Your name is " + name);
}
}
