need help to FIX this program

[l1r1m]

/** TotalVariables computes the amount of change I have, based on the values
* named by the four variables, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. */
public class TotalVariables
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ int quarters = 9;
int dimes = 2;
int nickels = 0;
int pennies = 6;
System.out.println("For these quantities of coins:");
System.out.print("Quarters = ");
System.out.println(quarters);
System.out.print("Dimes = ");
System.out.println(dimes);
System.out.print("Nickels = ");
System.out.println(nickels);
System.out.print("Pennies = ");
System.out.println(pennies);
System.out.println( (quarters * 25) + (dimes * 10)
+ (nickels * 5) + (pennies * 1) );
}
}


and my problem is how to make the program ask the user to ENTER THE VALUES for quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies when it runs.
I tried the "imput command" but i couldnt do it right i guess :(
So, please help me.
thanks

I belive you can do like this:

int coins;
InputStream stream = new InputStream(System.in);
do{
coins = stream.nextInt();
} while (coins == null);

Some thing in that direction should work..

My solution:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TotalVariables {

	public static void main(String[] args) { 
		
		/* Scanner object for reading user input */
		
		Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		/* Read the values for quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies */
		
		System.out.print("Give the quantity of Quarters: ");
		int quarters = scanner.nextInt();
		
		System.out.print("Give the quantity of Dimes: ");
		int dimes = scanner.nextInt();
		
		System.out.print("Give the quantity of Nickels: ");
		int nickels = scanner.nextInt();
		
		System.out.print("Give the quantity of Pennies: ");
		int pennies = scanner.nextInt();
		
		/* Print the quantities */
		
		System.out.println("For these quantities of coins:");
		System.out.print("Quarters = ");
		System.out.println(quarters);
		
		System.out.print("Dimes = ");
		System.out.println(dimes);
		
		System.out.print("Nickels = ");
		System.out.println(nickels);
		
		System.out.print("Pennies = ");
		System.out.println(pennies);
		
		System.out.print("TOTAL: ");
		System.out.println( (quarters * 25) + (dimes * 10) + (nickels * 5) + (pennies * 1) );
		
	}	
}
