Lab 4: Getting input from the user by using BufferedReader and JOptionPane

1. BufferedReader: Efficient for reading large amounts of text, part of [Link] package.
More efficient for larger text inputs compared to Scanner.
The BufferedReader class is used for reading text from an input
stream, buffering characters for efficient reading.

 Here's a sample program using BufferedReader:

import [Link]; //import the bufferedReader class

import [Link]; //import InputStreamReader calss

import [Link]; //type of exception that can occur during in/output

public class GetInputFromKeyboard

public static void main( String[] args ){

BufferedReader dataIn = new BufferedReader(new

InputStreamReader( [Link]) );

String name = " "; //declares a string variable named initializes it to an empty string

[Link]("Please Enter Your Name:");

try{ //begins a try block, which contains code that might throw an exception

name = [Link](); //reads a line of text from the users input and stores it

in the name variable

}catch( IOException e ){

[Link]("Error!");

[Link]("Hello " + name +"!");

}}
2. JOptionPane: Provides graphical dialog boxes for user input, part of [Link]
package.
The JOptionPane class allows for graphical user input through dialog

boxes.

 Here's a sample program using JOptionPane:

import [Link]; //imports the JOptionpane class which


provides standard dialog boxes for user interaction.

public class GetInputFromKeyboard

public static void main( String[] args ){

String name = "";

name = [Link]("Please enter your

name");

String msg = "Hello " + name + "!";

[Link](null, msg);// display a message dialog box


with the greeting message stored in the msg variable. The first argument null
indicates that the dialog box is not tied to any specific frame

}}

Lab Activity
• Identify the output of the following codes; if there are errors try to correct
them
1. [Link](null, ”Here is more useless information”, “title”,
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
2. [Link](null, ”really?” , “title”,
JOptionPane.QUETION_MESSAGE);
3. [Link](null, ”your computer has a virus!!!”, “title” ,
JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
4. [Link](null, “are you sure “, “title”,
JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION);
