Trouble Implementing a Buffered Reader

Question

Any corrections would be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance for your kind assistance.
public void selectRestaurant (int args[]) throws IOException{
                BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
                boolean fineDining = true;
                int nInput;
                while(fineDining){
                    String inputString = input.readLine();
                    try{
                        nInput = Integer.parseInt(inputString);}
                    catch(NumberFormatException exc) {
                        System.out.println("Invalid entry");
                        nInput = 0;
                    switch(nInput){
                        case 1:
                        weight = weight + 10;
                        break;
                        case 2:
                        weight = weight + 15;
                        break;
                        case 3:
                        weight = weight + 20;
                        break;
                        case 4:
                        weight = weight - 20;
                        break;
                        default:
                        System.out.println("Please select a number between 1 and 4.");

Answer 1

I have another class called MyInput that reads info from the Buffered Reader that looks like this:
import java.io.*;
class MyInput
  public static String readString()
    BufferedReader keyboard
      = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in), 1);
    String string = " ";
    try
      string = keyboard.readLine();
    catch (IOException ex)
      System.out.println(ex);
    return string;
  public static int readInt()
    return Integer.parseInt(readString());
}But I can't seem to get the two classes to interact with each other. And a buffered reader never actually appears. When I run the method it just looks like I'm entering a parameter. Thank you so much in advance for your help.
