Println that will not terminate the line

Question

I don't want to break the line so I used System.out.print(">>"); but I can't put int (int number = scan.nextInt(); ) inside it and I can't also make System.out.print("<<"); in the same line as the int.

I would like it to run like this: >> 123 <<

    System.out.println(" Enter Number ");
    System.out.print(" >  ");  
    int number = sc.nextInt();
    System.out.print("  < ");

    // like this  > 123 <

Ok, reading again, I feel I did answer the wrong problem... you want the user input for the console (here `123`) to not add a new line ? So that you can add a `print(" < ")` on the same line ? Can you confirm please ? — AxelH, Nov 28 '17 at 09:22
I think you are misunderstanding what OP wants. I think he wants to give the option to user to put the number between '>' and '<', e.g. `Enter Number: > (Insert number here through Scanner) <` — LuisFerrolho, Nov 28 '17 at 09:27
If my previous comment is answer positivly, then you should check the comment on [How to prevent the enter from making a new line in console after input?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41668031/how-to-prevent-the-enter-from-making-a-new-line-in-console-after-input). This is not out-of the box possible. FYI @LuisFerrolho, this is what I said in my comment several minute before you, I did notice my misunderstanding. — AxelH, Nov 28 '17 at 09:33
@Genevieve - can you clarify the situation based on the comments above please? — achAmháin, Nov 28 '17 at 13:29
@notyou i wanted to put '>' , numbers and '<' on the same line but it's always like this : > 123 — Genevieve, Nov 28 '17 at 14:48
I provided an answer below which will output the brackets and user input on the one line. If there is something wrong with it, let me know. — achAmháin, Nov 28 '17 at 14:49

You should get the user input before any of the printing, and then just concatenate the result with the >s.

System.out.println(" Enter Number ");
int number = sc.nextInt();
System.out.print(" >  " + number + "  < ");

he wanted his layout to look like this " Enter Number >". Your solution changed his intention :) – Minh Kieu Nov 28 '17 at 09:16
Oh, hmmm. I just went by `// like this > 123 <`. – achAmháin Nov 28 '17 at 09:18
@MinhKieu `System.out.println(" Enter Number ");` this will not print `Enter Number >`. Don't search a mistake where there is none ;) – AxelH Nov 28 '17 at 09:34
@AxelH - you did not update your comments when other corrected your solution above :) joker!!! – Minh Kieu Jan 04 '18 at 10:12
