Java Input and Output: Reading Input with Scanner and Outputting Information with System.out

Java input and output are fundamental and important operations. Output uses `System.out`, while input uses the `Scanner` class. **Output**: `println()` automatically adds a newline, `print()` does not, and `printf()` is for formatted output (using placeholders like `%d` for integers, `%s` for strings, and `%f` for floats). **Input**: Import `java.util.Scanner`, create an object, and call methods: `nextInt()` for reading integers, `nextLine()` for reading strings with spaces, and `next()` for reading content before spaces. Note that after using `nextInt()`, a `nextLine()` is required to "consume" the newline character to avoid subsequent `nextLine()` calls reading empty lines. This article demonstrates the interaction flow through a comprehensive example (user inputting name, age, height, and outputting them). Mastering this enables simple user interaction, and proficiency can be achieved with more practice.
