should it be...readLineMethod() ???

Declare a temporary String variable to get the input, and invoke the readLine()method to get input from the keyboard.

plz guie me more

but make sure you have an instance of the Scanner class on which you can run the methods of the Scanner class.

to see how it works: look here

you must also ask yourself: will you only use this value in this method, or do you need this value in the method that calls this method.

In that case, I would change the return type from void to String, and return the value you've entered using the Scanner class.

Hi Guys,
At school, we just started programming in Java/ BlueJ
After adding a BufferedReader one of my attributes is always 0.0 - but i don't find my mistake. pls Help me

don't hijack someone else's thread, especially not if the issues are not related!
we are here trying to solve the OP's problem. if you want us to take a look at your code:

  1. start a new thread
  2. explain specific what problem you are having
  3. add your code there between Code tags, so they'll be more readable

alright i think my code is working now
i just simply took "request = input.nextLine()"
so when i call it it works
but i'm not sure it's right or wrong way to do it

Sry about that. I'm new at this Webpage.
I found my mistake myselve ))

that would depend on what input is.
can you ellaborate a bit more on the code that you have now?

}

This is my code
i'm like want to send the input String by calling makeRequest()

looks to me like it should work.
does it?

Yes it does thank you a lot anyway
