import java.util.Scanner; //imports Scanner. put the at the top of the code //code below reads input and gives you a String variable called "name", put this in the main method, above System.out, then use the "name" variable in System.out Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in); //creates a Scanner called "myScanner" that reads keyboard input String name = myScanner.nextLine(); //Creates a String called "name", then uses nextLine(); to extract a value from "myScanner" which is then set as the Strings value. //hope it helps :)

Create stream for data from console (keyboard): BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); Use readLine() method of the stream to read data (name): String name = reader.readLine(); Use variable name in printing intruction: System.out.println(name + " makes $120,000 a year. Ha-ha-ha");
