You know that you're only going to be getting 5 scores, so I would use a for loop to iterate over your variables and inputs.

here's a link on reading data in:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cs302/io/JavaIO.html

and here's one on loops:

If you have any more questions, post whatever code you have, and whatever error messages you get, and we'll do what we can to help.

Use a scanner:
import java.util.Scanner;
class prompt2 {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws java.io.IOException {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int p[] = new int[4];
int avg[]=0;
for ( int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
System.out.print("Enter the values " + i + " :");
p[i] = scan.nextInt() ;
avg1[]=avg+p[i];
System.out.println();
}
int avg[];
avg=avg1/5;
System.out.println("the average: " +avg);
}
}

We prefer to let people attempt their problems first before dumping solutions on them. Now your code doesn't even compile. If you want to help people just check to see that your suggestions are correct first before posting them.
