How to input a string in Kotlin?

To input a string in Kotlin, we use the "readLine()" method.

Kotlin program to input a string

In the below program, we will input a string from the user and print it on the screen.

package com.includehelp.basic

// Main Method Entry Point of Program
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    
    // Input name
    println("Enter Your Name: ")
    val name = readLine()
    
    // Input Address
    println("Enter Your Address: ")
    val add = readLine()
    
    // Input Country Name
    println("Enter Your Country Name : ")   
    val country = readLine()
    
    // Printing input values
    println("Name: $name")
    println("Address: $add")
    println("County: $country")
}

Output

Enter Your Name: 
Shivang
Enter Your Address: 
Indore, sector 73
Enter Your Country Name : 
India
Name: Shivang
Address: Indore, sector 73
County: India

In the above program, we are asking the values for name, address and country. All three values are strings and they are reading by readLine() method.
