Console implements functions for displaying the stated values on the terminal i.e, with print, println, and printf we can post to the display. It is also utilized in reading values from the Console with the function from scala.io.StdIn. It is even helpful in constructing interactive programs.
Let’s discuss it in detail and also lets see some examples related to it.
- println:
It is utilized in putting down values to the Console and moreover computes a trailing newline. we can pass any types as argument to it. - Print:
It is equivalent to println but it does not computes any trailing line. It puts down the data to the beginning of the line. - printf:
This is helpful in writing format strings and also places extra arguments.
Example:// Scala program of print// functions// Creating an objectobjectGfG{// Main methoddefmain(args:Array[String]){// Applying console with printlnConsole.println("GeeksfoGeeks")// Displays output with no// trailing linesprint("CS")print("_portal")// Used for a newlineprintln()// Displays format stringprintf("Age = %d",24)}}chevron_rightfilter_noneOutput:GeeksfoGeeks CS_portal Age = 24
The println and Console.println both are equivalent.
- readLine():
It is a method in which user gives inputs in the pattern of String from the keyboard.
Example:// Scala program of readLine()// method// Creating an objectobjectGfG{// Main methoddefmain(args:Array[String]){// Applying a loopwhile(true) {// Reads the line from the Consolevalresult=scala.io.StdIn.readLine()// Displays the string that is// given by the userprintf("Enter the String: %s", result)//prints newlineprintln()}}}chevron_rightfilter_noneOutput://giving user defined inputs GfG //output by readline Enter the String: Gfg //again giving inputs Nidhi //output Enter the String: Nidhi
Here, the while loop is infinite in nature and after giving user inputs the variable will contains that (GfG) string and if again we given any input then the variable will contain that (Nidhi) input.
