get user input from command line

Here is a solution you may want to consider:

Using the TextReader class, that you can get at:

http://www.cs.arizona.edu/people/reges/

by clicking on TextReader on the sidemenu. Then you could do this:

TextReader console = new TextReader(System.in);

System.out.print("What is your name? ");

String name = console.readLine();

System.out.print("Give me two positive numbers, " + name + " --> ");

double x = console.readDouble();

double y = console.readDouble();

System.out.println(x + " to the " + y + " power = " + Math.pow(x, y));

System.out.print("Give me a positive integer, " + name + " --> ");

int n = console.readInt();

System.out.println("2 to the " + n + " = " + (int)Math.pow(2, n));

This example is in the documentation for this class. The documentation is here:

I really like the TextReader class. I dont know what readLine() method you are using, but TextReader has a readLine(), and it works very well. Hope this helps.

Good Luck

the problem.

Thanks for all suggestions.

The only resolution I could find was to reward

the first respondant the bucks.

Thanks.
