Converting String to Integer or object

Question

I was wondering how I could convert user input using scanner to an integer that I have already declared. I have already created the object person1 and declared the variables firstName, lastName, age and gender in the 'Person' class. I know I should be using parse but I'm unsure how to implement it within my code.

Scanner user_input = new Scanner( System.in );

        System.out.println("Please input your details.");
        System.out.println("First Name:");
        person1.setFirstName(user_input.nextLine());
        System.out.println("Last Name:");
        person1.lastName = user_input.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Age:");
        person1.age = user_input.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Gender:");
        person1.gender = user_input.nextLine();

Lines 9 and 11 need modifying.

You can also use persont1.age=Integer.parseInt(user_input.nextLine());taking into consideration that at input your are entering only numeric values — Harshit Singhvi, May 13 '16 at 09:15

For the age, use :

person1.age = user_input.nextInt();
