  • 0

I want to write infinity while statement which will perform every time when user just presses Enter. Every stream readers I know perform when user enteres anything into console or presses Enter twice.


I want to write something like this:

Console:
output 1 [enter have been pressed onse]
output 2 [enter have been pressed onse]
output 3 [enter have been pressed onse]
[so on…]

This is my current code:

addQuestionsInArray();

Random r = new Random();
DataInputStream is = new DataInputStream(System.in);
while (true) {
    String question = questionsList.get(r.nextInt(questionsList.size()));
    System.out.println(question);
    if (String.valueOf(is.readInt()).equals("0")) {
        break;
    }
}

    To wait for the user to hit enter, I usually do something like

    new Scanner(System.in).nextLine();
    

    Demo:

    import java.util.Scanner;
    
    class Test {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Press enter.");
            new Scanner(System.in).nextLine();
            System.out.println("Thanks.");
        }
    }
    

    Output:

    Press enter.
    [enter]
    Thanks.
    

    Regarding your edit, I still suggest you use a Scanner. (DataInputStream should be used for binary data, not strings and characters written on System.in):

    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
    
    while (true) {
        String question = questionsList.get(r.nextInt(questionsList.size()));
        System.out.println(question);
    
        String input = s.nextLine();
        // int input = s.nextInt();    if you want integers
    
        if (input.equals("0"))
            break;
    
        // if (input == 0) break;      if you want integers
    }
