BinaryStdIn

java.lang.Object
- BinaryStdIn

```
public final class BinaryStdIn
extends java.lang.Object
```
Binary standard input. This class provides methods for reading in bits from standard input, either one bit at a time (as a boolean), 8 bits at a time (as a byte or char), 16 bits at a time (as a short), 32 bits at a time (as an int or float), or 64 bits at a time (as a double or long).
All primitive types are assumed to be represented using their standard Java representations, in big-endian (most significant byte first) order.
The client should not intermix calls to BinaryStdIn with calls to StdIn or System.in; otherwise unexpected behavior will result.

- Method Detail
  - close
```
public static void close()
```
    Close this input stream and release any associated system resources.
  - isEmpty
```
public static boolean isEmpty()
```
    Returns true if standard input is empty.
    
    Returns:
    true if and only if standard input is empty
  - readBoolean
```
public static boolean readBoolean()
```
    Read the next bit of data from standard input and return as a boolean.
    
    Returns:
    the next bit of data from standard input as a boolean

    java.lang.RuntimeException - if standard input is empty
  - readChar
```
public static char readChar()
```
    Read the next 8 bits from standard input and return as an 8-bit char. Note that char is a 16-bit type; to read the next 16 bits as a char, use readChar(16)
    
    Returns:
    the next 8 bits of data from standard input as a char
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.RuntimeException - if there are fewer than 8 bits available on standard input
  - readChar
```
public static char readChar(int r)
```
    Read the next r bits from standard input and return as an r-bit character.
    
    Parameters:
    r - number of bits to read.
    
    Returns:
    the next r bits of data from standard input as a char
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.RuntimeException - if there are fewer than r bits available on standard input
    
    java.lang.RuntimeException - unless 1 ≤ r ≤ 16
  - readString
```
public static java.lang.String readString()
```
    Read the remaining bytes of data from standard input and return as a string.
    
    Returns:
    the remaining bytes of data from standard input as a String
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.RuntimeException - if standard input is empty or if the number of bits available on standard input is not a multiple of 8 (byte-aligned)
  - readShort
```
public static short readShort()
```
    Read the next 16 bits from standard input and return as a 16-bit short.

  - readInt
```
public static int readInt(int r)
```
    Read the next r bits from standard input and return as an r-bit int.

    Returns:
    the next 64 bits of data from standard input as a long
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.RuntimeException - if there are fewer than 64 bits available on standard input
  - readDouble
```
public static double readDouble()
```
    Read the next 64 bits from standard input and return as a 64-bit double.
