In case I know how to do with int it would look something like:
number1 = input.nextInt();
But I want my user to type a string, let's assume a month:
mes = input.????
I need to read the string in switch , as in the example below:
switch (mes) {
case "janeiro": System.out.println("Nesta data ocorre o evento chamado: Feriado de janeiro");
break;
Use input.nextLine(); to read the line entered by the user.
In this specific case you can use input.next(); because you only want to read a word without spaces. The next() only reads the first word until a space appears. The nextLine(); reads the entire line you can enter until you enter "\n" (the enter key)
Look, I recommend using the java.util library to use a Scanner. Here is the code below:
import java.util.Scanner;
class Leitura{
public static void main(String[] args){
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
//Aqui você passa o valor para um string
String valor_lido = s.nextLine();
//Agora é fazer o que quiser com o valor dessa String
}
}
In addition to what has already been answered, it has JOptionPane.showInputDialog();
which creates an interface for the user to type.
