Java Packages and Scanner Basics

The document discusses Java packages, which group related classes and interfaces to organize code and avoid name conflicts. It explains built-in and user-defined packages, the use of the import keyword, and introduces the Scanner class for user input. An example program demonstrates how to use the Scanner class to collect and display user information.

Lecture Discussion: Java Packages and Scanner


1. What is a Package in Java?
 A package in Java is like a folder that groups related classes and interfaces together.
 It helps in:
o Organizing code properly.
o Avoiding name conflicts (two classes can have the same name if they are in different packages).
o Reusing code easily.
Analogy:
Think of your computer files. You store documents in a folder to keep them organized. Similarly, in
Java, we store classes inside packages.

2. Types of Packages
1. Built-in Packages – Already provided by Java.
Examples:
o [Link] (contains Scanner, ArrayList, Date, etc.)
o [Link] (input/output classes)
o [Link] (database connectivity)
2. User-defined Packages – Created by the programmer to organize their own classes.

3. Importing Packages
To use classes from a package, we use the import keyword.
Example:
import [Link];
This means we are using the Scanner class from the [Link] package.

4. The Scanner Class


 Scanner is a Java class used to take input from the user.
 It can read:
o Strings
o Integers
o Floating-point numbers
o Other data types
Syntax:
Scanner sc = new Scanner([Link]);
Here:
 Scanner → the class we are using
 sc → the object/variable name
 new Scanner([Link]) → allows us to take input from the keyboard

5. Example Program Using Scanner


import [Link]; // Importing Scanner class from [Link]
package

public class UserInfo {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner([Link]); // Create Scanner object

// Asking for personal info


[Link]("Enter your name: ");
String name = [Link]();

[Link]("Enter your age: ");


int age = [Link]();

[Link]("Enter your grade level: ");


int grade = [Link]();

// Output
ACTIVITY NO. 3 - JAVA BASIC STRUCTURE AND SYNTAX
[Link]("\n--- User Information ---");
[Link]("Name: " + name);
[Link]("Age: " + age);
[Link]("Grade: " + grade);
}
}

6. Sample Output
Enter your name: Carl
Enter your age: 17
Enter your grade level: 11

--- User Information ---


Name: Carl
Age: 17
Grade: 11

Key Takeaways
 Packages organize Java classes.
 import allows us to use classes from packages.
 Scanner is used for user input, and it belongs to the [Link] package.
