How do i get something from keyboard into primitive data type such as int

Question

Hi guys,
How do i store a value that was accepted via keyboard into a int variable.
The method i tried to use was readInt of DataInputStream class which allows me enter some number then enter some number again and when i print the value stored in the variable, which is suppose to be what i entered, it prints a junk number.

import java.io.*;
public class Read {
     public static void main( String [] args ) throws Exception {
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( System.in ) );
          System.out.print( "Integer: " );
          String integer = br.readLine();
          int i = Integer.parseInt( integer );
          System.out.println( "i = " + i );
          br.close();
}
