C++ cin.get() in Java please!

[Rachel Lara Mackie]

Can somone please tell me the Java equivalent of the above? So, before
executing the next line of code the user would need to hit [Enter]. Need
specifics too, such as instantiating and importing to do this!

Many thanks :)

Use System.in() - you probably want to wrap a BufferedReader round it
and read a line at a time.

So it's something like:

line = System.in(); // not sure, please correct if wrong
BufferedReader input = new BufferredReader(line);
if (input == null) // null being Enter??
// continue executing

Thanks :)

No, it's more like:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (System.in());

String line = br.readLine();

with appropriate IO exception handling etc.

However, I strongly suggest you learn the basics of Java before trying
this. Ignore console input for the moment, and just write programs that
use console output. Then use files for input and output, then go for
console input.
