Week 4 - Static

Input Example

For example, one of our declarations of BufferedReader in the discussion of input looked like this:
private static BufferedReader in;

That way, in could be used in main( ), and also in any other method we wrote in the class containing the main( ) method:

import java.io.*;

class Test {
	public static BufferedReader in;

	public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException {
		in = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));

		String line = in.readLine();
		otherMethod();
	}

	private static otherMethod() throws IOException {
		String line = in.readLine();
	}
}
