help on strings

[appledon]

hello everyone could teach me how to make the user input instead of me
here my code i just needed my teststack to let the user input instead of me could tell me what to do ?

class Stack {
  private int maxSize;

  private char[] stackArray;

  private int top;

  public Stack(int s) {
    maxSize = s;
    stackArray = new char[maxSize];
    top = -1; 
  }

  public void push(char j) {
    stackArray[++top] = j;
  }

  public char pop() {
    return stackArray[top--];
  }

  public char peek() {
    return stackArray[top];
  }

  public boolean isEmpty() {
    return (top == -1);
  }

  public boolean isFull() {
    return (top == maxSize - 1);
  }
}

import java.util.Scanner;


public class TestStack {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String STS = " STS";
int stackSize = STS.length();

Stack theStack = new Stack(stackSize);


for (int j = 0; j < STI.length(); j++) {
char ch = STS.charAt(j);
theStack.push(ch);
}

while (!theStack.isEmpty()) {
char ch = theStack.pop();
System.out.println(ch);
}
}
}

Use the Scanner (which you've imported...) to get the user's input.

Have a read of the API documentation to find useful methods for obtaining a string from the user.

i mean where do i put the inputs im really lose when it comes to let the user input im always fixed i dont let the user input but you point me to the right direction where to put this input string code in my stack/string code and which line should i start with when it comes to this input stuff im super lose and my code all about reversing word output like this

before: STI
after:ITS

my code works but my professor wants me to let the user input he such a pain in the ass to me but i have to do it my problem is i really don't know where to start input and which line should it be could please point me to the right direction please

You can identify in your existing code where (the only time) the string is assigned to. And you have the API docs that describe how to get user input.

I can't see what else I can do short of writing teh codes. And I'm not going to do that (principally because I don't see that as helping.) Consult your textbook and make an attempt! In all sincerity, if you can't take the next step forward you really should talk to your teacher.

thanks alot man now my only problem is how to display after the reversal could give me a little tip on how to do it please here my code please where do i put the after the reversal code please i really need help here just a little im still new it i already broke my brain think this please where do i put the after reverse code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TestStack {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
	Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    String name =null;
	System.out.println("Input your name: ");
	name = scan.nextLine();
	System.out.println(" before: " + name);
    int stackSize = name.length();

    Stack theStack = new Stack(stackSize);

    for (int j = 0; j < name.length(); j++) {
      char ch = name.charAt(j);
      theStack.push(ch);
    }

    while (!theStack.isEmpty()) {
      char ch = theStack.pop();
      System.out.println(ch);
    }
  }
}
