How to get input in character type array in java

Hi ............
There are many way to get input in java. Java works on two type of stream 1. Character Stream 2. Byte Stream
Java treats Char data type different form c and c++. In C/C++ char data type hold 7 bit ASCII Character which is 0 to 127 characters but java char data type works on Unicode.

• System.in.read() takes one character from user and return correspondence int value
• for hold it we have to type cast in char
• System.in.read() stop when user press enter its take it '\n'

class CharInput
{
           public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
           {
                  char ar[]=new char[5];
                  int i;
                  for(i=0;i<ar.length;i++)
                  {
                          ar[i]=getChar();
                   }
            }
            static char getChar() throws Exception
            {
                   char ch=(char) System.in.read();
                   pressEnter();
                   return ch;
             }
             static void pressEnter() throws Exception
             {
                    while((char) System.in.read()!='\n');
              }
}  

• As we know System.in.read() stop input when it encounter newline
• i have make getChar function which is taking input from user and sure newline using pressEnter function
• pressEnter is use to ensure newline character using while loop
• loop stop when user press enter otherwise it looking in stream for new line
