Question

In java when we take input from console we get a String, even if we want an integer as input we get a input in String format, then we covert it in integer format using several methods, like Integer.parseInt(). Where as C/C++ also take input from console but there we get integer values directly from console we does not require methods to convert them. Then why does java follows such long procedure. **What is the reason behind such an architecture of Java ?

//In java we follow the following process

public static void main(String args[])
{int i = Integer.parseInt( args[0]);// here we get input in String format and then convert it
}

//In C++ we follow the following :

void main()
{int i;
 cin>>i;
}
Both C/C++ and Java takes input form Console then why java takes it in String Format and C++ does not ??

Answer 1

Java – If you use the Scanner class you can get the input in the required data type. It’s not only String java accepts.
