it means that one of the classes or methods you are useing has been replaced with a another (one hopes better) alternative. The original should still work OK. To get full details compile the program with the -Xlint option which enables warning messages. If you go to the java documentation on the class in question it will tell you what has replaced it.

The code will run fine if it has no other errors but it is very bad practice to use deprecated code.

readLine() in java.io.DataInputStream has been depricated. What can be used instead of that to get input from keyboard ???

Do not use DataInputStream. Use the java.util.Scanner class instead.

Please do not double post for the same problem.

You should use BufferedReader instead of DataInputStream
Example:
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

I bet your didn't bother to read the API documentation for the method because
for deprecated items the documentation gives you an alternative way of getting
done what you want to get done. I am not going to repeat the API documentation
for you.
