i want to know what is the best way to get input from standard input, i know there is a many who posted functions that they created to read a char and add it to array and then turn array to string but i never understood any one of them can any one please show me one and a simple explanation with it ...

i have a problem with Scanner (java.util.Scanner)
its in using Scanner.hasNext() while reading from console
the problem is that the program never stops and i get time limit exceed
cant i use hasNext() when the Scanner is scanner(System.in) ?

Thank you
