User input with Ready to Program (Holtsoft) without using the hsa console?

[Rickkwa]

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.

code:

Scanner in = new Scanner ( System.in )

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Or, you could use a JVM that's less than 9 years old (and at least 6.5 years out of date).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.
