need help in programming please...

ok,

so I want to write a test that will ask the user to input an int, and then output it to DOS in java.

how do I do this? I use I/O to do it right?

is it something like:

import java.io.*;
class test
{
public void BufferedReader(Reader in)
{
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader());
}
}

I'm reading the java docs, but this is all I can come up with. am I even close?? buffered Reader is what asks for the input rigt? how do I make it come out?

help help. just a simple concept.

Getting text input from the command prompt is hard. When I was taking Java 101, I remember being given custom classes to get input from the command prompt.

Sorry I can't help you, I don't have access to those class files.

String text = "";
BufferedReader keyboard = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamRader(System.in));
try{
text = keyboard.readLine();
}
catch(IOException trash){
System.out.println("error");
}

System.out.println("You typed: " + text);

thanx.......what if I want to make it to ask for an int??? I changed String text to Int text, but that just gave a bunch of errors..........

String str = "100";
int num = (Integer.valueOf(str)).intValue();
