Java: Basic User Input
Introduction
Today,
creating a successful application without user input is nearly impossible. In fact, I think the majority of commercial/enterprise programs requires user input of some kind. You might say, "Woah, wait a minute. What about games?" User's provide games with input. Using the keyboard or mouse to control certain aspects of a game is a form of input. I'm not going to cover that type of input with this article.
Instead, I'm going to cover basic console input in this article. Basic input can be used for various things. For example, employer's use basic input features to calculate an employee's pay check. Other programs, like programs found at different retailers, uses input to calculate the total price for items that customers buy. Input is one of the most important features of programming.
The Basics
When an individual takes the time to start learning Java he/she at some point will come upon a problem with obtaining user input.... View In Full
Based on a homework assignment, this program overloads the output and input operators along with the + and - operators. This program instantiates a Job object and the user inputs information for both
My teacher assigned us the simpliest assignment dealing with arrays. That's why I call this assignment fun with arrays. The code assigns random numbers between 1 and 400 to a 100 element array. The
Using the prefixes was the way the taught in my technical school. I see they can not keep up with the rapidly changing times. I see that Pascal case is a far better way to write my code. Thanks for the heads up. I should remove that article now and go brush up on this new way of naming controls. It is pretty strait forward though and I will start putting this into practice.
I would avoid graphics for a while. If I were you I would learn key concepts like Object Orientation in Java. That is, learn things like classes, inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism, and interfaces.
Looks promising. Keep working on Java. It's a good "learning" language. There's a lot of other good things out there, though. If you ever need help, just ask me :)
