How do I perform console input?

rpohara

I'm teaching a high school computer science class, using Processing. I see the print and println functions for console output, but don't see the corresponding input functions. Where is readln or its equivalent?

Processing's IDE's console doesn't accept keyboard input! :|
We gotta compile the sketch w/ CTRL+E and run directly from console: :-B

import java.util.Scanner;

String name;
byte age;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

println("Type in your name...");
name = in.nextLine();

println("Type in your age...");
age = in.nextByte();
in.close();

println("\nName: \t" + name);
println("Age: \t" + age);
exit();

Alternatively, the standard way of getting user input in Processing is to use keyPressed() and similar functions.
