Question

is this the way that you input information into a program from a keyboard

Code:

---

Temperature = Keyboard.readint();

---

cause it does not seem to work

dooes anyone know another way to input information from a keybord in java

No

how do you do it then???

Sorry i was just having a little fun. :lol: Do you want to read input from the console? The following code just reads in what you typed at the command line and spits it back out, then terminates.

Code:

---

import java.io.*;
 
 public class Q{
  public static void main(String[] agrs){
 
  try{
  BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  System.out.println(buff.readLine());
  }catch(IOException e){
    System.out.println(e);
  }
  }
 }

yup that is what i need thanks

:thumb:

actually How would i put that lets say number into a variable that i made

readLine() returns a String. So the following would store the string returned into the s variable which has a type of String. String s = buff.readLine(); If you want to store the returned String into a integral type you have to use the parseType(String s) methods found in the Wapper classes such as java.lang.Integer. Then you could do somthing like the following. int i = Integer.parseInt(buff.readLine()); but be prepared to catch a NumberFormatException incase what is being passed into the parseType() method is not a integral representation.
