Using Scanner for reading data from system console in Java

Java has one more way for reading data from system console. Scanner was introduced in Java 1.5. Scanner class allows to read data from system console. Here I want to show example about it.
Example reads String and int values and then prints them:

import java.util.Scanner;public class Main{ public static void main(String[] args){ Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Username:"); String username = scanner.nextLine(); System.out.print("Number:"); int number = scanner.nextInt(); System.out.println("Username is:" + username); System.out.println("Number is:" + number); }}
