Problems on converting a string in an integer

I wrote this code and I need to convert the string variable into a int because I want to use an input box, however the compiler is always warming me of bugs on my code. Can you folks help me solve this problem?

I tried to post the code here but It was a mess, so here is the link to my workspace: https://w.trhou.se/cc54jb7hyq >> It's the one named ageRestriction

Note: I'm a beginner ;)

Yeah i see the problem is when you call the console method you have to use scaner this is my code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Testing {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print("What's your age? ");
        String ss = sc.nextLine();

        int age = Integer.parseInt(ss);

        if (age > 12) {
            System.out.println("You are allowed to watch it!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("You are not allowed to watch it because you are under 13 years old");
        }
    }
}

Hum, I understand now but I haven't learned this method yet, I think it's still above my paygrade... Anyways, I will watch some videos and read a bit more about it to try to learn it. Thanks!! As you see, I am still a beginner.
