Problem calling in other methods.....

Question

Hi I am trying to write a program that will allow a user to input 3 integers (3 sides of a triangle). These are taken as arguments and then a method i have written will calculate and print out the area back to the user.
I have spent a while typing the following code. I can get it to compile with no errors, however, it does not work fully. The user can input the three integers, then it does not work from there. Any help would be most appreciated
Thank you in advance
import java.io.*;
public class MultMethEx1
public static int printTriangleArea (int sidea, int sideb, int sidec)
     int s = (sidea + sideb + sidec)/2;
     int srs = s*(s-sidea)*(s-sideb)*(s-sidec);
     double area = Math.sqrt(srs);
     String newstring = String.valueOf(area);
     int areat = Integer.parseInt(newstring);
     System.out.println("The area is: " + areat);
     return(areat);     
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
     System.out.println("Please enter the values for the three sides of you triangle");
     System.out.println(" ");
     BufferedReader a = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
     System.out.print ("Enter the value of side A: ");
     String tempa = a.readLine();
     int sidea = Integer.parseInt(tempa);
BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
     System.out.print ("Enter the value of side B: ");
     String tempb = b.readLine();
     int sideb = Integer.parseInt(tempb);
     BufferedReader c = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
     System.out.print ("Enter the value of side C: ");
     String tempc = c.readLine();
     int sidec = Integer.parseInt(tempc);
     System.out.println(" ");
     printTriangleArea(sidea, sideb, sidec);

public class MultMethEx1
public static void printTriangleArea (int sidea, int sideb, int sidec)
int s = (sidea + sideb + sidec)/2;
int srs = s*(s-sidea)*(s-sideb)*(s-sidec);
double area = Math.sqrt(srs);
// String newstring = String.valueOf(area); remove this
// int areat = Integer.parseInt(newstring); remove this
System.out.println("The area is: " + area); change yr areat to area
// return(areat); remove this since void method noneed to return value
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
System.out.println("Please enter the values for the three sides of you triangle");
System.out.println(" ");
BufferedReader a = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
System.out.print ("Enter the value of side A: ");
String tempa = a.readLine();
int sidea = Integer.parseInt(tempa);
BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
System.out.print ("Enter the value of side B: ");
String tempb = b.readLine();
int sideb = Integer.parseInt(tempb);
BufferedReader c = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
System.out.print ("Enter the value of side C: ");
String tempc = c.readLine();
int sidec = Integer.parseInt(tempc);
System.out.println(" ");
printTriangleArea(sidea, sideb, sidec);
for method calling ---- printTriangleArea(sidea, sideb, sidec), we will call a void method above that will help us to do all necessary calculation and print out the output for us, so that no need to return anything at all
