    Do you have any specific java programming questions?
    What happens when you try to compile and execute your program?
    Copy the full text of any messages and paste it here.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Yes, Strings are the normal input to a program from a keyboard. It is hard to enter integer values from the keyboard. "9" is a String not an integer
    The String input can be converted to an int be using some method like Integer.parseInt() or some of the Scanner class's methods
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
