Read input line by line

Question

How do I read input line by line in Java? I searched and so far I have this:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MatrixReader {
    public static void main(S         


        

Answer 1

Try using hasnextLine() method.

while (input.hasnextLine()){


    System.out.print(input.nextLine());


 }

Answer 2

The previously posted suggestions have typo (hasNextLine spelling) and new line printing (println needed each line) issues. Below is the corrected version --

import java.util.Scanner;

public class XXXX {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        while (input.hasNextLine()){
            System.out.println(input.nextLine());
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

Ideally you should add a final println() because by default System.out uses a PrintStream that only flushes when a newline is sent. See When/why to call System.out.flush() in Java

while (input.hasNext()) {
    System.out.print(input.nextLine());
}
System.out.println();

Although there are possible other reasons for your issue.
