    Default How do i store input from the keyboard into a method?

    Hey guys and girls, just like the title says, how do i store keyboard input into a method? (OOP) So i have two classes, BankAccount, and Tester. My constructor and methods are in BankAccount and my Tester class has code that asks for keyboard input. I know how to store numbers into them if i do it straight from my code, but how do i store keyboard input into a variable, more specifically doubles.

    Sorry if i confused everyone, which i probably did, but if anyone could help that would be great

    You could use one of the Scanner class's methods to read the input into a variable.
    Look at the API doc for the Scanner class and/or do a Search here on the forum for sample code.

    If that is not your problem, please explain.
    Variables local to a method go away when the method exits, so you can not use local variables to store data. To have the data be available to more than one method, you would need to use a class variable.

    If I know what you mean go line.

    yourclass uc= new yourclass();
    Initialise scanner
    string name=keyboard.next();
    uc.urmethodtoinsert(name);
