Question

The following code is to be used to get the favorite meal of a user. Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); String favoriteMeal; System.out.println("Enter your favorite meal for dinner: "); /* missing line */ Which of the following should go in the place of /* missing line */ to get this input from the user and store it in the variable favoriteMeal?

Answer 1

To get the input from the user and store it in the favoriteMeal variable, you should use the nextLine() method of the Scanner class. The complete line of code to replace /* missing line */ would be:

favoriteMeal = scan.nextLine();

So the complete code would look like this:

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String favoriteMeal;
System.out.println("Enter your favorite meal for dinner: ");
favoriteMeal = scan.nextLine();  // This line captures the input from the user

This will prompt the user to enter their favorite meal, and the input will be stored in the favoriteMeal variable.
