User input from the console

[x-ice]

How can i get user input from the console?

Here is my code so far if it helps:

public class Student
{
	private static String Teacher;
	private static String StudentName;

	/**
	 * Create a student
	 *
	 * @param StudentName
	 */
	public Student()
	{
            //Do nothing!
	}
	
	public static void main(String StudentName)
	{
	    Student student = new Student();
	    	    
            Teacher = "Mr Whyley";
            StudentName = StudentName;
            //Print details
            System.out.println("Student Name: " + StudentName);
            System.out.println("Teacher: " + Teacher);
	}

	/**
	 * Get teacher name for a student
	 * 
	 * @return Teacher
	 */
	public String getTeacher()
	{
	    return Teacher;
	}
}

I want to get 'StudentName' from the console.

[System_Error]

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

use br.readLine() to get the text,but be sure to catch an io exception with this line.


*import java.io.*;

Shouldn't this declaration of the main method be as follows:

public static void main(String args[])

args will then contain an array of strings supplied at the command line. Another way to receive input from the command line.

I didn't catch that, but yes, your main method MUST be public, static, void, called main, and takes an array of strings as an argument.
