    Default Reading input into an ArrayList

    Hey guys I need help reading input into an ArrayList which I will use to construct my polynomials
    any ideas on how to do this ??
    My code is below
     */
    package poly;
     
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    /**
     *
     * 
     */
    public class Poly {
     
        private ArrayList<Integer> coefficients;
     
        public Poly()
        {
     
        }
        public Poly(ArrayList<Integer> coefficient) {
            this.coefficients = coefficient;
        }
     
        public void show() {
            for (int i = coefficients.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                if(coefficients.get(i)>=0 && i!=coefficients.size()-1)
                { 
                    System.out.print("+");
                }
                System.out.print(coefficients.get(i));
                if (i != 0) {
                    System.out.print("x");
                    System.out.print("^" + i);
                    System.out.print(" ");
                }
            }
            System.out.println("");// prints new line 
        }
     
        public Poly add(Poly otherPoly) {
     
     
            //We are going to add the coefficients of the current object as well as the 
            //object that is being passed on to the method
            ArrayList<Integer> sum = new ArrayList<Integer>();
            //We are checking if the degree of coefficients of the current object and the
            //object being passed into the method are the same
            if (this.coefficients.size() == otherPoly.coefficients.size()) {
     
                //Iterating over each element in the object.
                for (int i = 0; i < coefficients.size(); i++) {
     
                    //Adding the coefficients of the currrent object and the correspondeing
                    //coefficients the object that is being passed.
                    sum.add(this.coefficients.get(i) + otherPoly.coefficients.get(i));
     
                }
     
     
            }
            //Creating a new polynomial to pass the arraylist that has just  been created.

    Please edit your post and wrap the code with code tags, and be sure the formatting is 'decent' at least. See the forum announcements page if you have questions on using tags.
