Jump to PostChesk the JavaDoc.. What type does readLine() return? What type is your variable num? That's why you get the error message.
Which method in the same class as readLine() returns an integer? That's the one you need.
Jump to PostRead the JavaDoc - very near to readLine you'll find a method that returns an int.

OOps - think I may you an apology. You didn't show the code where "user" was declared, and I probably guessed wrong, and thus gave bad advice.
If, as I now suspect, "user" is one of the Reader classes then it won't have a method to read ints directly. If that's the case, look at Integer.parseInt(String s).
Sorry
