I want to type a multiple line text into the console using a BufferedReader and when I hit "Enter" to find the sum of the length of the whole text. The problem is that it seems I'm getting into an infinite loop and when I press "Enter" the program does not come to an end. My code is below:
InputStreamReader instream = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(instream);
line= buffer.readLine();
while (line!=null){
length = length + line.length();
line= buffer.readLine();
}
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
One line of code using Java 8:
line = buffer.lines().collect(Collectors.joining());
