How to make a scanner read an int?

[Dieter]

Hey,

i can't manage to make my scanner read an int.
Can you plz help me on how to solve this?

 
System.out.println("Maak een selectie uit de volgende opties..." + "\n" +
			  "1" + ". Nieuwe tafel openen." + "\n" + 
			  "2" + ". Toon open tafels." + "\n" + 
			  "3" + ". Gebruiker opties");
String a = sc.next();
if(a.equals("1")){
   System.out.println("Gelieve een pin in te geven...");
   int p = sc.nextInt(); [B][COLOR="Red"]Here is the problem[/COLOR][/B]
   if(p.equals(waiterz.getPin())){
	System.out.println("U heeft een nieuwe tafel geopend!");
        System.out.println("Gelieve een keuze te maken uit het volgende menu...");
        System.out.println("1" + ". Drank Toevoegen" + "\n" + 
				  "2" + ". Eten Toevoegen" + "\n" + 
				  "3" + ". Afrekenen" + "\n" +
				  "4" + ". Bestelling corrigeren" + "\n" + 
				  "5" + ". Choose your weapon!");

Thanks in advance,

All the best,
Dieter

How to solve what?
What does your code do vs what it is supposed to do?

i wanted my input to be compared to the pin(int) i have given in waiterz.
But it gives me an error in my equels.

Error giving me:

Cannot invoke equals(int) on the primitive type int

Now i was too stupid to forget that it is not an object or an object reference so i cannot use .equal here. So when i realized that, i simple did this...

int p = sc.nextInt();
if(p == (waiterz.getPin())){

And it works now.
I'm sorry that i posted befor i thought more about it.

All the best,

Dieter

Nice to hear that you've solve the problem yourself. :) Java API really helpful, seems to you refer it to find the solution. Good luck!
