Super simple Conversation Program.

[Aggorance]

import java.io.*;

class Conversation {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        int myAge = 15;
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine();
        System.out.println("Your name is " + name + ", great name.");
        System.out.println("How old are you?");
        String age = in.readLine();
        System.out.println("You are " +age+".");
        System.out.print("If you added our ages together we would be" + (age + myAge) + " :)");
        System.out.println("What is your favorite hobbie?");
        String hobby = in.readLine();
        System.out.println("What do you like about " + hobby+"?");
        String otherHobby = in.readLine();
        System.out.println("So what you're saying about " + otherHobby + " is neat.");
        System.out.println("Well it was nice talking to you");
        System.out.println("Please rate this program 1 - 10");
        System.out.println("Type a number:");
        String rating  = in.readLine();
        int value = Integer.parseInt(rating); 
        if (value > 5)  {
            System.out.println("You voted: "+value+".");
        } else  {
            System.out.println("You voted: "+value+".");

        }
        System.out.println("End of program"); 
    }
}

Bro, this is good can you expain what this mean?
throws IOException {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

When you throw an exception, it means that the handling of a runtime error is passed off to the caller of the function which sent it, and no UI message or other such annoyance occurs. A BufferedReader is a class which is used to read a string of characters in from the console byte by byte and parse them into a String.

You seem to be around the same skill level as me, and if you are - hello!
Anyway, couldn't Scanner(in the java.util library) achieve the same thing as BufferedReader? I find Scanner more reliable than BufferedReader, as you don't have to parse into integers and that sort of stuff...

They can both achieve the same thing, although I prefer to use javax.swing.JOptionPane.showInputDialog("prompt") method. It returns a string, but it is much better than console input IMO.

Any questions left concerning how to catch and throw exceptions and or use user-defined exceptions?

Dude, sorry but this is spam !

I find the scanner class a lot more convenient, and that's probably because I use it more often than the clunky Buffer class.

Lol me too.
As advice I recommend making a text adventure to help with learning if statements,objects,and classes.
Y U no use scanner keyboard!!!!

As much as I love buffered reader, scanner does a whole lot of job for me . Also now you might wanna grab in the output you give from a text file and manipulate using Arrays to make it more advanced

This code is really sloppy, or at least looks like it from thr mobile version. Space everything out.
