Similarly, it is asked, which one is better scanner or BufferedReader?

BufferedReader is faster as compared to scanner because scanner does parsing of input data and BufferedReader simply reads sequence of characters. BufferedReader is synchronous while Scanner is not. BufferedReader should be used if we are working with multiple threads.

Similarly, why do we use BufferedReader in Java? The BufferedReader is used to provide the buffering to the Reader's object while reading the data from input stream. The BufferedReader class increases the efficiency of the program. Your program run fast due to buffering and efficient reading done by the BufferedReader class.

Subsequently, one may also ask, what is difference between scanner and Bufferreader class in Java?

One of the main difference between BufferedReader and Scanner class is that former class is meant to just read String or text data while Scanner class is meant to both read and parse text data into Java primitive types like int, short, float, double, and long.

What is a BufferedReader?

BufferedReader is Java class to reads the text from an Input stream (like a file) by buffering characters that seamlessly reads characters, arrays or lines. In general, each read request made of a Reader causes a corresponding read request to be made of the underlying character or byte stream.
