No idea what you want. In any case, there is only one int type in Java, 4 bytes signed. If you want more, use long or BigInteger, if you want less use short.

Me too, I'm baffled. Do you really want to convert a method name (System.out.println) to an int???
You need to explain exactly what it is you are trying to do!

See the API docs for the Integer class.

You can use the Scanner class to read and parse input from the console. Look at the API documentation for Scanner - the very first example will help you.

When you put System.out.println() do you actually to read input? notice the "out" and the "println", this is for printing a line to the console. To read a line from the console, type "java reading console" into google, the first link explains it pretty well.
