How to accept user input in Java?

Hello, Kartik! You take user input by creating an object of the Scanner class, and then using the object to call the appropriate method, such as nextInt() for integers, nextDouble() for floating-point numbers, and nextLine() for strings.

For example,

import java.util.Scanner;

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        System.out.println("Enter your age: ");
        
        // Create a Scanner object
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        // Take user input 
        int age = input.nextInt();
        
        System.out.println("Age is " + age);

    }
}

The basics of user input has already been explained in the Taking Input lesson of Chapter 1: Introduction.

Please review that lesson again before proceeding further.
