We are using JDK 8u111 with Netbeans IDE 8.2 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit PC to compile and run this program. You can also install the JDK and run this program from a windows command console.

Problem Definition

This program uses the BufferedReader class to create a new BufferedReader object. The main program is BRRead and the Java program is saved with the same name – BRRead.java. To write a program to read character using Bufferedreader in Java and display the characters in integer equivalent.

For example, if character is  ‘a’, then output is 97 – ANSI equivalent.

The BufferedReader object uses InputStreamReader another object from InputStreamReader Class that reads a stream of characters.

Program Code

import java.io.*;

class BRRead
{
    public static void main(String args[])

    throws IOException
    {
      char c;
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));

      System.out.println("Enter character,'10' to quit");

      // read characters

    do {

      c= br.read();
      System.out.println(c);
      }while(c != 10);

    }

}

Output – BufferedReader Demo

The output of the above program is given below. The program reads a stream of character through BufferedReader object and display the characters when the last read character is 10.
