Ok, that all makes sense now. Thanks a lot to everyone!

Ok, that makes sense. So unless I'm doing something with reading files, I can use BufferedReader to accept the input, as long as that input is generated by the user, such as entering numbers or text,...

So, Scanner is better in the sense that it allows more specific operations to be done. And BufferedReader is more of a generic catch all, which seems to me more like a class that would be taught in...

Thanks for the comment. I guess I'll keep using Scanner then. Probably easier than learning a whole new class anyway to accomplish the same tasks with a class I already know.

I was just curious as to why I see many people in this forum using BufferedReader over the Scanner class? I don't believe I've heard of it before I came here, I've just always used the Scanner class....
