Now, let's go on to asking the user to enter a number and doing calculations on it. Basically: <code>JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Hello. Enter something")</code>. Try putting that in a class (in the main method, of course) and run it. Currently, we can't do anything with it because the value is deleted. | Now, let's go on to asking the user to enter a number and doing calculations on it.

Because what you enter can consist of letters OR numbers, and any length of them, what is "produced" by that is a String. The following will work: <code>String mine = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Now I can set a String!");</code>. Now lets say that after you get the string you want to print it. Just like regularly, add the following line: <code>System.out.println(mine);</code>. | Because what you enter can consist of letters OR numbers, and any length of them, what is "produced" by that is a String.
