For input remember:

  1. declare a scanner: Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in)
  2. Tell  the user what you expect. Example System.out.println(“please enter a number”)
  3. Read the input from the keyboard and store it in a variable: e.g. int x = s.nextInt();or String str = s.nextLine(); etc.

Week 8 - 19/3
Week 9 - 26/3
  • Conditional Loops
  • Classic cycle for command line input (ppt, SampleInputCycle.java), modify the code so that users can also multiply and divide;
  • Exercises in class with conditional and loops

    • REMINDERS:
    String s1 ="hello", s2="hello";
    if (s1==s2) System.out.println("the strings are equal);
    WILL NOT PRINT "the strings are equals" - the two objects are compared and they are different objects
    if you want to compare the content of the two strings you need to use: s1.equals(s1)

    The compiler will give you an error if you try to declare a variable twice; for example the following IS WRONG:
    int i,j;
    int i = scan.nextInt(); //WRONG

    Do not place semicolons after loop conditions; for example the following IS WRONG:
    while(x!=0); WRONG
    for(int i =0; i<x; i++); WRONG
