as i m working on implementation of rsa algorithm,and during maiking console of it i found an error int cannot be dereferenced and i m unable to solve it because of working on java first tym...help me here is my code

Line 9, you cannot declare an int as a method/function. Simply implement another method in your rsa class and name it something like getPrimeNumberFromUser() and return a prime number if the number entered by the user is valid. In other words, reimplement lines 9~33 in a method.

Suggestions:
1) Your prime checker should go up to square root of the number itself (use Math.sqrt). It will speed up your method by a LOT.
2) You must not allow p and q to be the same number.
3) I don't really see the purpose of having p and q as rsa member variables...
