hello

I?ve recently started learning Java ( and programming in general ),
but it's not that easy.

1) According to System.getProperty("line.separator"); on windows
systems newline is represented by CR+LF. Then why, when reading from
standard input ( keyboard ) and pressing enter, the only character
read is CR ( \n ), but not also LF (?\r?):

InputStreamReader is = new InputStreamReader ( System.in );
int i1 = fr.read(); // after pressing enter, i1 equals 10
int i2 = fr.read(); // after pressing enter, i2 equals 10

Contrary to your findings, on my Windows XP SP3 both CR an LF characters
do get read.

Using the following program

    package test;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    public class ReadingFromConsole {
       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          System.out.print("Type stuff (press Ctrl+C to quit): ");
          InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
          int ch;
          while ((ch = reader.read()) != -1) {
             System.out.print(ch);
             if (ch >= 32) {
                System.out.print('\t');
                System.out.print((char) ch);
             }
             System.out.println();
          }
       }
    }

the output on the console (cmd.exe) is as follows:
