Study Notes

Input and Output

Input is the process of entering data into software, using methods like typing text, using files, or mouse commands
Output is data processed by software shown on devices like printers, screens, or monitors.

Output (Example: "Hello, World!")

Programs need output to be useful. Output can be shown on screens, disks, or printers, or even as movement in machines.
The "Hello, World!" program is a common introductory program in programming languages. It verifies the correct use of the compiler and basic programming.
The Java statement System.out.println("Hello World!"); displays the text "Hello, World!" on the screen.
- println moves the cursor to the next line after printing.
- Without println the cursor stays on the same line.
System.out refers to the standard output device, typically the computer monitor.

Input

Input methods include keyboards, mice, disks, and sensors
Inputs are vital to modify program outputs.
Input allows a program to change after being compiled.
The import java.util.*; statement is used to import the Scanner class, a predefined tool for input.
The Scanner class is used to get input from the keyboard.
The nextInt() method in the Scanner class reads an integer from the keyboard.
A prompt like System.out.print("Enter an integer: "); helps guide user input.
