What is meant by this step in the Jar Game project? "Use System.out for output and a reader on System.in for input"

Can anyone please explain what is meant by this step in the Jar Game project. I have used a Console object to read from the keyboard and write to the display without any problems.

I believe when I was on this project I used a Scanner object for input.

For example:

private Scanner mScanner = new Scanner(System.in);

Then, from within your method/s:

String input = mScanner.next().trim().toLowerCase();
