Scala – Read and Print Character Value

Here, we will create a character variable. Then we will read the value of the character variable and print the value of the variable on the console screen.

Scala code to read the value of character variable

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

// Scala program to read the the 
// value of character variable

object Sample{  
    def main(args:Array[String]){  
        var ch:Char=0
          
        print("Enter character: ")
        ch = scala.io.StdIn.readChar()
        
        println("Entered character: "+ch)
    }  
}

Output

Enter character: X
Entered character: X

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 character variable ch. Then we read the value of variable ch using the scala.io.StdIn.readChar() function. After that, we printed the entered number on the console screen.
