how to i/p numbers

[Sanjul Jain]

Hello!

I am a newbie to Java. I want to write a program that lets user input numbers(integers) seperated by whitespace. The program displays sum of the numbers. Can someone suggest me code for that.


Thanks in advance,
Sanjul

You have posted similar question in another thread. And Its answered there.

I am not quite sure how the user is providing you with the values

Is it something like
1) java MyProgram 1 2 3 4
2) java MyProgram
Please enter the numbers that you want to add seperated by spaces

If you are taking the user input through step 1 then its easy. Look at the argument of your main method. Look through that array and see what you get.

If you want a solution for step 2 then you got to do something like this: In your main progam

// prompt the user to enter numbers seperated by spaces
// open up standard input
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
//Now read the user entered string
br.readLine();

The above line has to be in a try catch block.

Read up String Tokenizer and you should be ready to roll.

Ohh You've probably passed this up, but hear is a way

import java.util.*;
public class TestIt {
public static void main(String args[]){
int i = 0;
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("20 30 40");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
i += Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
}
System.out.println(i);
}
}

Of course if you do not use correct numbers in your string you get the NFException from Integer.parseInt()

good luck
