        String name = sc.nextLine();
        System.out.print("Enter your age: ");
        int age = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Hello " + name + ", age " + age);
        sc.close();

Summary

Import java.util.Scanner and create a Scanner on System.in.
Use nextInt(), nextDouble(), nextLine() to read input.

Scanner से Input पढ़ना
