Hi I'm new to Java. I'm trying to read console input using readLine() Method of BufferedReader class in such a way that each method call assigns values to variables. The program compiles fine, but while running its simply skipping the readLine steps .
System.out.println("Enter Name");
String str=br.readLine();
System.out.println("Enter priority");
int p= br.read();
It doesnt wait for user input when run.
I don't see your definition of 'br' here.
Try this:
System.out.println("Enter data :");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String str = br.readLine();
System.out.println("You entered :" + str);

Here is my working main method:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter Name");
String str=br.readLine();
System.out.println("Enter priority");
// attention: this is not the value you entered
// it is the code of the first character you entered!
int p= br.read();
// this works better - but think of catching the
// NumberFormatException!
int p2 = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
System.out.println("Name: " + str + "\nPriority: " + p);
}
Sud,
If you're using java 1.6 then try the Console class instead of a buffered reader, it has a lot of convenience methods which help make your code much smaller, tighter, cleaner, and therefore less buggy.
