There are two common methods to bring up the console in Java:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use the static method out of the System class to print output to the console.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    System.out.println(\"Hello, World!\"<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Get console input using the Scanner class.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      import<\/span> java.util.Scanner;\r\n\r\npublic<\/span> class<\/span> Main<\/span> {\r\n    public<\/span> static<\/span> void<\/span> main<\/span>(String[] args)<\/span> {\r\n        Scanner<\/span> scanner<\/span> =<\/span> new<\/span> Scanner<\/span>(System.in);\r\n        \r\n        System.out.print(\"Enter your name: \"<\/span>);\r\n        String<\/span> name<\/span> =<\/span> scanner.nextLine();\r\n        \r\n        System.out.println(\"Hello, \"<\/span> + name + \"!\"<\/span>);\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
