My program requires that the console inputs both the user name and age at once. I am using a BufferedReader as shown. As you can see, addPassenger takes two inputs, name and age...but I can only put in name. How can that be implemented using a BufferedReader? In other words, how can I make "screenInput.readLine();" take both name and age as input strings? Any help appreciated.
public class Console {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Initialize database
Database prodDB = new Database();
prodDB.bootstrap();
//Initialize console
boolean always = true;
BufferedReader screenInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
while(always){
//ask for passengerName and age, then add
System.out.println("Enter Passenger Name and Age: ");
String name = screenInput.readLine();
boolean result = prodDB.addPassenger(name, age);
if (result){
System.out.println("Welcome back " + name);
} else
{
System.out.println("Welcome " + name);
}
always = false;

You can just add another line to take the age, like this:
String name = screenInput.readLine();
int age = Integer.parseInt(screenInput.readLine());
