If you are using 1.5 or higher (you should be), have a look at how to use the Scanner to take input from users

Welcome to TSDN.

you can also use like ....

InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
//Here System.in is the standard input stream and that is keyboard.

That doesn't help you much, you still have to do the scanning yourself that way.
As r035198x already wrote: use a scanner to do the dirty work:

Scanner in= new Scanner(System.in);
if (in.hasNextInt())
   System.out.println("next int in stream: "+in.nextInt());
else
   System.out.println("no int as the current token in stream");

You have to upgrade to at least Java 1.5 (1.6 is better) to be able to use a Scanner.

so JOASH Scanner is much more better than InputStreamReader????

Erm, yes, that's what I wrote basically in my previous reply. A Scanner still isn't
a full blown lexical analyzer but it's much better than any home brew tokenizer
based on an InputStream or Reader.

Have you read the previous replies? Use a Scanner object to do the dirty work:
it can read several types of numbers and strings and (almost) whatever you want.
