// Import the Scanner class
import java.util.Scanner;  

class ScannerExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    // Creating object of Scanner class
    Scanner obj = new Scanner(System.in);  
    System.out.println("Enter First Number");
    int num1= obj.nextInt();  // Reading  user input

    System.out.println("Enter Second Number");
    int num2= obj.nextInt();  // Reading  user input
    
    System.out.println("Sum is: " + (num1+num2)); 
  }
}
