Constructor Summary
def this



Def Summary
def flush : scala.Unit
Flush the output stream. This function is required when partial output (i.e. output not terminated by a new line character) has to be made visible on the terminal.
def print ( obj : scala.Any ) : scala.Unit
Print an object on the terminal.
def printf ( text : java.lang.String ) ( args : scala.<repeated> ) : scala.Unit
Format and print out some text (in a fashion similar to printf in C). The format of the text to print is specified by the parameter text. The arguments that are inserted into specific locations in text are provided with parameter args. See class java.text.MessageFormat for a full specification of the format syntax.
def println ( x : scala.Any ) : scala.Unit
Print out an object followed by a new line character.
def println : scala.Unit
Print a new line character on the terminal.
def readBoolean : scala.Boolean
Read a boolean value from the terminal.
def readByte : scala.Byte
Read a byte value from the terminal.
def readChar : scala.Char
Read a char value from the terminal.
def readDouble : scala.Double
Read a double value from the terminal.
def readFloat : scala.Float
Read a float value from the terminal.
def readInt : scala.Int
Read an int value from the terminal.
def readLine : java.lang.String
Read a full line from the terminal.
def readShort : scala.Short
Read a short value from the terminal.
def readf ( format : java.lang.String ) : List
Read in some structured input, specified by a format specifier. See class java.text.MessageFormat for details of the format specification.
def readf1 ( format : java.lang.String ) : scala.Any
Read in some structured input, specified by a format specifier. Opposed to readf, this function only returns the first value extracted from the input according to the format specification.
def readf2 ( format : java.lang.String ) : Tuple2
Read in some structured input, specified by a format specifier. Opposed to readf, this function only returns the first two values extracted from the input according to the format specification.
def readf3 ( format : java.lang.String ) : Tuple3
Read in some structured input, specified by a format specifier. Opposed to readf, this function only returns the first three values extracted from the input according to the format specification.
def setIn ( in : java.io.InputStream ) : scala.Unit
Set the default input stream.
def setIn ( reader : java.io.Reader ) : scala.Unit
Set the default input stream.
def setOut ( out : java.io.PrintStream ) : scala.Unit
Set the default output stream.

def print ( obj : scala.Any ) : scala.Unit
Print an object on the terminal.
param:
obj the object to print.

def printf ( text : java.lang.String ) ( args : scala.<repeated> ) : scala.Unit
Format and print out some text (in a fashion similar to printf in C). The format of the text to print is specified by the parameter text. The arguments that are inserted into specific locations in text are provided with parameter args. See class java.text.MessageFormat for a full specification of the format syntax.
param:
text the format of the text to print out.
param:
args the parameters used to instantiate the format.

def println ( x : scala.Any ) : scala.Unit
Print out an object followed by a new line character.
param:
x the object to print.

def println : scala.Unit
Print a new line character on the terminal.

def readBoolean : scala.Boolean
Read a boolean value from the terminal.
return:
the boolean value read from the terminal.

def readByte : scala.Byte
Read a byte value from the terminal.

def readChar : scala.Char
Read a char value from the terminal.

def readDouble : scala.Double
Read a double value from the terminal.

def readFloat : scala.Float
Read a float value from the terminal.

param:
in the new input stream.

def setIn ( reader : java.io.Reader ) : scala.Unit
Set the default input stream.
param:
reader specifies the new input stream.

def setOut ( out : java.io.PrintStream ) : scala.Unit
