Changed to Integer but still the problem persists.
import java.io.*;
class Mul{
static int a=0;
static int b=0;
static int Count=0;
public static void main(String args[])throws IOException{
BufferedReader br =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
do{
a=(int)br.read();
Count++;
b=(int)br.read();
if(Count==2)
System.out.println("The Multiplied Value is "+a*b);
}while(Count<2);
}
