Reading Strings

import java.io.*;

class JavaApplication {
    static BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        System.out.println("What's your name? ");
        String s = stdin.readLine();
        System.out.println("Hello, " + s + "!");
    }
}

What's your name?
Blaise Pascal
Hello, Blaise Pascal!

Reading ints

import java.io.*;

class JavaApplication {
    static BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        System.out.println("Enter first number: ");
        int i = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());
        
        System.out.println("Enter second number: ");
        int j = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());
        
        System.out.println(i + " + " + j + " = " + (i + j));
    }
}

Enter first number:
2
Enter second number:
3
2 + 3 = 5

Parsing Strings

readLine() returns a String. This string is parsed into an int with the wrapper class "Integer".
