[Confusion] A Java Question

[Lavneet Sharma]

Get three exam grades from the user and compute the average of the grades. Output the average of the three exams.

1. Use BufferedReader to get input from the user, and System.out to output the result.
2. Use JOptionPane to get input from the user and to output the result.

I'm confused. Because when I try Buffered Reader to accept Interget or float, it says, "Incompatible Types"

And the same for JOptionPane. Can somebody please help me out of this.?

Can you post the code you tried, the exception stack trace if any.

[Mohamed Sanaulla]

I think we would require some effort from your part in providing us the details about the issue and also show us the code you are trying.

[Lavneet Sharma]

I tried this Code, but the error is again: Incompatible Types

import javax.swing.*;

class ex1
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		int var1, var2, var3;
		try
		{
			var1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter word Number 1: ");
			var2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Word Number 2: ");
			var3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Word Number 3: ");
		}
		finally
		{
			System.out.println("Unexpected Error..!!!");
		}
	}
}

You should get some idea about Using JOptionPane, and also check out the JOptionPane API to see what the method showInputDialog returns

Raphael Onofre, please note what it says on the title page for this forum:

We're all here to learn, so when responding to others, please focus on helping them discover their own solutions, instead of simply providing answers.

If Lavneet Sharma looks in the API documentation and finds the return type of the input dialogue is a Rhubarb object, he will remember for ever. If you simply give a complete answer, he might never learn anything.
Don’t be annoyed with me, but I am pulling rank and deleting your post for a day or two.

Apart from the vague thread title: I am 99% certain that try-finally does not do what you think it does, and does not do what you want it to.

Sorry for the mistake ;[

Thanks a lot Mohamed and Sherrif for your concern...
Actually, i made a little ammendment that i learnt from somewhere over the net. I did this:

int x;
x = Integer.parseInt( JOptionPane.ShowInputDialog("TEST");

That's the first thing I noticed when I saw the code snippet. It would be a good idea to explore that topic further, as well.
