Java Boilerplate Code Generator - Version 0.0.3
Welcome to Java Boilerplate Code Generator , the must-have extension for Java developers looking to save time and reduce boilerplate code writing. With Version 0.0.3 , we've introduced new input templates, refined existing features, and added tools for seamless coding.
🔥 What’s New in Version 0.0.3 🔥
🆕 New Features & Enhancements
- Advanced Input Snippets :
- Support for integer and string inputs with ease using
takeint and takestr snippets.
- Added support for array output with
arrout.
- Expanded Printing Templates :
- Print statements (
print and println) have been optimized for common scenarios.
- Refined Loop Templates :
- Included placeholders for dynamic ranges and values for all loop types (
for, foreach, while).
- Matrix Handling :
- Enhanced matrix input handling with
arr2din for both structured and jagged arrays.
🚀 How to Use the Extension
- Install the Extension :
- Trigger a Snippet :
- Start typing the prefix (e.g.,
puc, for, takeint) and press Enter or Tab to expand the snippet.
- Modify Placeholders :
- Placeholders are highlighted for quick customization of variables and logic.

public class program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
// TODO: your code here
}
}
int num = input.nextInt();
🔹 Array Output (arrout)
for (int value : arr) {
System.out.print(value + " ");
}
int rows = size;
int cols = size;
int[][] matrix = new int[rows][cols];
System.out.println("Enter matrix elements:");
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
matrix[i][j] = input.nextInt();
}
}
