Hi!

There are two major ways to get user input in java:

First way:

import java.io.Console;
import java.util.scanner;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
console.printf("Name: ");
String name = sc.nextString();

Second way:

import java.io.Console;
console.printf("Name: ");
String name = console.readLine();

I hope that helps!

Thanks! :)
