For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Inputting two dimensional array from command promp

Posted by anonymous (anonymous), 24 November 2005
Hello,

I`m a java newbie.... I`m writing a program, where in `m suppossed to ask the user to enter the values...and store them in arr[0][0], arr[0][1] , arr[1][0], arr[1][1]...

I`m not sure how to do it.......

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you asking about how to set up the 2D array, how to write loops to go though each of the elements, or how to read from the user?  If the latter, are you using a stand alone application of an applet, or are you writing a server application based on Servlets of JSPs?

Sorry about all the questions - but there's a lot of possible answers.

Our Java Training Notes site may provide you with some background too - we've published our complete 5 day Java course there in .pdf files.

Ah - just noticed that you title said "from command prompt".  OK - have a look at the wellreader class in the notes that I've given you a link to.  And the source code is in our resource centre if you want to see it and grab a copy;.

I`m asking the user to enter the 4 co-ordinates of rectangle for an array..............Also how do i get the float values from user.....

Here is the code............



BufferedReader standard = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(System.in));

try
{
  System.out.println("Enter the co-ordinates for people");
  String inline = standard.readLine();
  while((standard.readLine()) != null)
  {
     int var = Integer.parseInt(inline);
    StringTokenizer strtok = new StringTokenizer (inline," ");

    while (inline.hasMoreTokens())
          {
          arr[0][0]=var;
        arr[0][1]=var;
          arr[1][0]=var;
          arr[1][1]=var;        
        }
            b = Integer.parseInt(inline);
                c = Integer.parseInt(inline);
                d = Integer.parseInt(inline);
                   
   }
}
                       

 catch (Exception e)
  {
        ;
 }

I'll cut in some comments ...

BufferedReader standard = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(System.in));

try
{
// The prompt isn't very explanatory and your users may not
// realise they have to enter four numbers, space separated.
  System.out.println("Enter the co-ordinates for people");
  String inline = standard.readLine();
  while((standard.readLine()) != null)
  {
// Next line needs to be inside the loops to get tokens
     int var = Integer.parseInt(inline);
    StringTokenizer strtok = new StringTokenizer (inline," ");
// hasMoreTokens runs on the tokenizer object not the string
// If you always have four tokens, 4 assignments may do better
// If it might expand later, use two nested loops.
// See String Tokenizer example
    while (inline.hasMoreTokens())
          {
          arr[0][0]=var;
        arr[0][1]=var;
          arr[1][0]=var;
          arr[1][1]=var;         
        }
// Float.parseFloat for a floating point number. We've used parseFloat in an example elsewhere.
            b = Integer.parseInt(inline);
                c = Integer.parseInt(inline);
                d = Integer.parseInt(inline);
                   
   }
}
                       
// You may do better to try and catch in smaller blocks -
// that would make your error recovery much easier.
// This advise is more completely given in our exception training notes
 catch (Exception e)
  {
        ;
 }
                   

I'm deleting your duplicate posting of this question - having two threads running doesn't get any extra positive attention and it tends to dilute responses
