How to take only integer input through keyboard in java

hello,
I know to take characters as input from keyboard in java. Can anybody
please let me know how to input integers from keyboard. For every input do
we have to create seperate objects of BufferedReader? Can we manipulate the
data also?
Thanks,
Jane.

here is something that might help - just a code snipit;

// import the package you need
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

// set up some variables
String keyBoardStuff;
int myInt=0;

// now get the integer
keyBoardStuff = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
"Enter the integer: ");

// now convert from the string data to integer
myInt = Integer.parseInt(keyBoardStuff);

//now your integer data is in the variable myInt

Hope this helps;
