Reading Input

• Read console input from System.in
• System.in is an InputStream: reads bytes
• We want a Reader that reads characters
  
• Turn System.in into InputStreamReader
• Also want to read entire lines
• Use BufferedReader:
  

  BufferedReader console = new BufferedReader(
  
     new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  
  System.out.println("How old are you?");
  
  String input = console.readLine();
  
  int age = Integer.parseInt(input);
