Using Scanner Class For input
import java.util.*;
public class UsingScannerClass { age 17
public static void main(String[] args){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int age;
System.out.print("How old are you?");
age = input.nextInt();
System.out.println("Hi!!, You are "+age+ " years old");

Displaying in Graphics
You can use the showMessageDialog
method in the JOptionPane class.
JOptionPane is one of the many
predefined classes in the Java
system, which can be reused rather
than “reinventing the wheel.”

TMK 3102-Chap 4: Input & Output 7

The showMessageDialog
Method
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
"Welcome to Java!",
"Example 1.2 Output",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE));

TMK 3102-Chap 4: Input & Output 8

Two Ways to Invoke the Method
There are several ways to use the showMessageDialog
method. For the time being, all you need to know are
two ways to invoke it.
One is to use a statement as shown in the example:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x,
y, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE));
where x is a string for the text to be displayed, and y is
a string for the title of the message dialog box.
The other is to use a statement like this:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x);
where x is a string for the text to be displayed.

TMK 3102-Chap 4: Input & Output 9

Example
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String name;
name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is Your
Name?");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hi!!! "+name+
"\nWelcome\nTo\nJava\nWorld");
}
}

TMK 3102-Chap 4: Input & Output 10

Example
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String name;
name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What
is Your Name?");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
"Hi!!! "+name+"\nWelcome\nTo\nJava\nWorld");

}
}

TMK 3102-Chap 4: Input & Output 11

public static void main(String[] args) {
String name;
name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is Your
