How many characters can read by using the readline() method in java?

Question

I using readLine() method for reading the text, but i am not aware of how many text can read that method. Ex.

String str = in.readLine();

how many texts can read and store on "str"?

Answer 1

Integer.MAX_VALUE, but you obviously should not be running into this limit very often.

-- and note that this is because Integer.MAX_VALUE is the maximum size for a Java String

Answer 2

Till LINE BREAK, loosely speaking. For the exact, see Matthew's answer. Cheers.
