The System class in java.lang provides the "standard" IO streams System.in, System.out, and System.err.
|
| 2 |
System.in is an instance of InputStream.
|
| 3 |
System.out and System.err are instances of PrintStream.
|
| 4 |
PrintStream is a subclass of FilterOutputStream, which itself is a subclass of OutputStream. (See next foil.) PrintStream objects should not be instantiated; use other subclasses of FilterOutputStream for byte streams or PrintWriter objects for character streams.
|
| 5 |
PrintStream and PrintWriter define methods print(...) and println(...), which output any primitive type:
|
| 6 |
System.out.println( "Enter character: " );
|
| 7 |
int ch = System.in.read();
|
| 8 |
System.out.println( (char) ch );
