If you can't be bothered to type out your questions, no one is going to be bothered to help you.

it is not taking string value

What does this mean? Specifically could you describe what you do when you run this program (ie what you enter at the console - including the "enter" character)? And also *both* the observed behaviour of your program and the behaviour you expected or intended to see.
