Hi guys, I'm somewhat new to Java and haven't come across this issue until now. Basically what I need to do is store a series of user inputed integers in separate variables which will be used later in the program. I'm familiar with C++ and doing keyboard input there but it is different in Processing. I'd like to start basic and do it just through the console but eventually I would like to do it on screen. From what I understand so far I will need to use import java.io.*. I found this little snippet of code:

import java.io.*;

public class Class1
{
 public static void main (String[] args)
  {
  BufferedReader keyboard;
  InputStreamReader reader;
      String InputText = "";

  reader  = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
  keyboard  = new BufferedReader(reader);
 

   try
    {
      InputText = keyboard.readLine( );
      System.out.println("you typed: " + InputText);
    }
   catch (IOException e)
    {
      System.out.println("There was an error");
    }

  }
}

But compiling it in Processing I get an error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: Class1
at processing.core.PApplet.main(PApplet.java:6943)


I know that I will need to convert the String to an integer after but I can't even get that far. Does anyone have any idea on how I can do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

perhaps looking at the source for the p5 library text box would help?
