Console I/O

Read input from console

Using scanf

Scanf scans text read from standard input, storing successive space-separated values into successive arguments as determined by the format. It returns the number of items successfully scanned. If that is less than the number of arguments, err will report why. Newlines in the input must match newlines in the format. The one exception: the verb %c always scans the next rune in the input, even if it is a space (or tab etc.) or newline.

 # Read integer 
 var i int
 fmt.Scanf("%d", &i)

 # Read string 
 var str string
 fmt.Scanf("%s", &str)

Using scan

Scan scans text read from standard input, storing successive space-separated values into successive arguments. Newlines count as space. It returns the number of items successfully scanned. If that is less than the number of arguments, err will report why.

 # Read integer 
 var i int
 fmt.Scan(&i)

 # Read string 
 var str string
 fmt.Scan(&str)

Using scanln

Sscanln is similar to Sscan, but stops scanning at a newline and after the final item there must be a newline or EOF.

# Read string
var input string
fmt.Scanln(&input)

Using bufio

# Read using Reader
reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
text, err := reader.ReadString('\n')

# Read using Scanner
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
for scanner.Scan() {
    fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
}
