Yeah, so I'm wondering how to get user input using Ready and without using the hsa console. I think I found it on a site before and I was able to get integers at the very least, but I forgot the site and how to do it. |

Alternately, use any of the other classes in java.io.* ; the simplest way is still to use Scanner. |

I mentioned Ready to Program because it's using an older version of java (i think) and scanner isn't built in. |

java.io.InputStream has been available since 1.0 (and yes, Scanner has been introduced in Java 5) |

*facepalm* You're right, Scanner isn't available in Ready (Java 1.4.2, as I recall now). You will need to use InputStream / Reader and the Integer.parseInt, Double.parseDouble, etc methods. Or, you could use a JVM that's less than 9 years old (and at least 6.5 years out of date). I strongly, strongly recommend this latter case -- usage of Java 1.4 has dropped off drastically, largely due to Java 1.5 and 1.6 (and 1.7, assuming they ever release it) being vastly superior. |
