Please post your code in code tags.

The error message is telling you what's wrong. Hint: What does the method BufferedReader.readLine() return?

sorry idk how to post in code tags cauz i'm just new here. XD
BufferedReader is used for string, right?
so what should i use for character? DataInputStream?
i'm just a beginner in java btw
