Does anybody know how to create more than one scanner object in a program? I'd like to write a question-answer program...

Question

multiple scanner objects

Answer 1

@noura
Would you like to make multiple objects of the same Scanner, or are you wanting to make a program that uses multiple Scanners?

Answer 2

@noura
Okay. I've been researching it and experimenting a bit, and I don't think that you can use one Scanner for multiple inputs, at least not by assigning a value to the variable again with the new keyword. I know that you can do something like it in C++, but not as far as I've seen in Java. I can try to help you figure something out to compensate for it, though. I'll keep researching to see if I can come up with something.

Answer 3

You can use a BufferedReader to accept multiple inputs with a single object. Here's a demonstration ( https://code.sololearn.com/cjXE9y44ZtEA/?ref=app ). Let me know if this helps or if you need me to explain it.

Answer 4

With java?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

well, i think i want to use the same scanner object more than once

Answer 7

@noura
Okay. Are you wanting to use the value more than once, or do you want to use the same Scanner to accept different inputs?

Answer 8

i want to use different inputs. the program asks questions and the user has to answer.
