Get input from user...

[Neo]

This is a bit from my program:

code:

import java.awt.*; import java.applet.*; public class House extends Applet {          public void init() {  }     void DrawTree (Graphics g) {           g.setColor(Color.yellow);           g.fillRect(308+x,240,15,30);           g.setColor(Color.green);           int x2[] = {290+x,317+x,340+x};           int y2[] = {260,240,260};           g.fillPolygon(x2,y2,3);           int x3[] = {295+x,317+x,335+x};           int y3[] = {250,230,250};           g.fillPolygon(x3,y3,3);           int x4[] = {300+x,317+x,330+x};           int y4[] = {240,220,240};           g.fillPolygon(x4,y4,3);  }     public void paint(Graphics g) {    DrawTree(g);  }   }

What I want to do is get the user to input a value for x which will determine where the tree goes.
This is the code to do so:

code:

public static void main(String[] args) {     int x;     System.out.print("Please type a number: ");     x= TextIO.getInt(); }

Where do I put this, because wherever I put it in my program it doesnt work. Ive tried to put it at the beginning of the program after the " public void init()" line and it compiles correctly but it does not ask the user to put in a number. Where do I need to put this line to make it work correctly?

your x is going to have to a field of the class (instead of local to paint).
Get its value in the init Method.
