public class String{
public static void main(String[] args){
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a String: ");
String s=in.nextLine();
}
}
Here's my code. Whenever i compile this java code i get an error as:
Incompatible types:java.util.String cannot be converted to String
String s=in.nextLine();
^
can any one tell me what should i do to get over it.
You should not use names for your classes that are already used in JRE in package java.lang.*
It happens because your class is named the same like the Java's String from java.lang.*, that is used basically everywhere.
Rename you class or use of prefixes like com.app.myclass.String.
Using Java packages avoids class name collisions, so you need to use full class name prefixing with the package name (like option1 below), whenever there is a conflict between multiple classes.
So to resolve your issue, you can pick one of the following:
(1) java.util.String s=in.nextLine();
(2) Change your class name MyString
You look here on how to avoid class name conflicts.
String.
