Scala – Read and Print the String

Here, we will create a string variable. After that, we will read the value of the string variable and print the value of the variable on the console screen.

Scala code to read and print the value of the string

The source code to read and print the value of the string is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to read and print the 
// value of string

object Sample{  
    def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
        var str:String=""
          
        print("Enter string: ")
        str = scala.io.StdIn.readLine()
        
        println("Entered string: "+str)
    }  
}

Output

Enter string: I love my India.
Entered string: I love my India.

Explanation

In the above program, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. Here, we created an object Sample. We defined main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we created a string variable str. Then we read the value of variable str using scala.io.StdIn.readLine() function. After that, we printed the entered string on the console screen.
