using same logic i just have added taking input

from user using buffered reader
import java.io.*;
public class rail{

public static void main(String [] args)throws

IOException
{
BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println(Enter The String: );
String input=in.readLine();
String output=;
int l=input.length();
System.out.println(You have Provided : +input);
for(int i=0;i<l;i+=2)
{
output +=input.charAt(i);
}
for(int i=1;i<l;i+=2)
{
output += input.charAt(i);
}
System.out.println("Ciphered Text : "+output);
}
}

Same Code With A Different Method

also inputs from user :
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class railfence {
public static void main(String args[])
{
String input = ;
String output = ;
System.out.println(Enter PlainText : );
Scanner ip = new Scanner(System.in);
input=ip.nextLine();
int len = input.length();
System.out.println(Input String : + input);
for(int i=0;i<len;i+=2)
{
output += input.charAt(i);
}

for(int i=1;i<len;i+=2)
{
output += input.charAt(i);
}
System.out.println("Ciphered Text : "+output);
String dcr1="";
String dcr2="";
int c=len/2;
if(len%2==0)
{
for(int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
dcr1 += output.charAt(i);
dcr2 += output.charAt(c+i);
}
String dcr="";
for(int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
dcr+=dcr1.charAt(i);
dcr+=dcr2.charAt(i);
}
System.out.println(dcr);
}

else
{
dcr1=output.substring(1,(c+1));
dcr2=output.substring((c+1),len);
//System.out.println(dcr1);
//System.out.println(dcr2);
String dcr="";
for(int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
dcr+=dcr2.charAt(i);
dcr+=dcr1.charAt(i);
}
System.out.print(output.charAt(0)+dcr);
//System.out.print(dcr);
}
}
}
