How do I use CinReader?

[DarkestLord]

I'm new to CinReader. I've imported it and everything, but I'm lost on how to use it.

class ExamEngine {
    static CinReader Cin= new CinReader();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("What's your name?");
        String spelling=Cin.nextLine();
    }
}

It says cannot find symbol- method nextLine();

This is how I did it with the scanner and it worked fine.

import java.util.Scanner;
class Player {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner1 = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What is your name?");
String Playername=scanner1.nextLine();
}
}

What am I doing wrong with CinReader

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

What package is CinReader in? Is there some API doc for it? If so, have you read it?

Mmmm...not sure what you mean by "package". I just downloaded it and I can use it for integers just fine, but I haven't been able to type words into it.

Take a look at the CinReader API docs at Generated Documentation (Untitled). CinReader does not have a nextLine method.

Since the API docs are devoid of examples, here's one showing how you would use it to get an integer input:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        CinReader reader = new CinReader();
        System.out.println("Enter integer: ");
        int response = reader.readInt();
 
        System.out.println("response: " + response);
    }

As for the code to read String values, well, that's the exercise for you. :-)
