    Default NumberFormatException

    I’m doing this exercise where I need to design a program that will generate a random number between 1 and 100 and then let the user guess the number and tell them whether the guess is too high or too low. Here’s the code:

    The Evaluator class:

    import java.io.*;
     
    public class Evaluator
    {
        private KeyboardReader reader = new KeyboardReader();
     
    	public String evaluate(int guess, int secretNum)
    	{   
    	    if(guess > secretNum)
    		   return "Too high";
    		else 
    		   return "Too low";
    	} // evaluate()
     
    	public void run()
    	{
    	    int secretNum = 1 + (int)(Math.random()*100);
    		reader.prompt("What's your guess? -> ");
    		guess = reader.getKbInt();
    		reader.display(evaluate(guess, secretNum));
    	} // run()
     
    	public static void main(String args[])
    	{   
    	    Evaluator app = new Evaluator();
    		app.run();
    	} // main
    }

    The KeyboardReader class

    import java.io.*;
     
    public class KeyboardReader
    {
     
    	private BufferedReader reader;
     
    	public KeyboardReader()
    	{
    	    reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        }  // KeyboardReader
     
        private String readKeyboard()
    	{
    	    String line = "";
    		try
    		{   reader.readLine();   }
    		catch (IOException e)
    		{   e.printStackTrace(); }
    		return line; 
    	} // readKeyboard()
     
    	public String getKbInput()
    	{   return readKeyboard();
    	}
     
    	public int getKbInt()
    	{   return Integer.parseInt(readKeyboard());
    	}
     
    	public double getKbDouble()
    	{   return Double.parseDouble(readKeyboard());
    	}
     
    	public void prompt(String s)
    	{   System.out.print(s); 
    	}
     
    	public void display(String s)
    	{   System.out.print(s);
    	}
    } // KeyboardReader

    I entered an integer and a NumberFormatException was thrown:

    C:\LearnJava>java Evaluator
    What's your guess? -> 4
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""
    at java.base/java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Num berFormatException.java:68)
    at java.base/java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:668)
    at java.base/java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:776)
    at KeyboardReader.getKbInt(KeyboardReader.java:28)
    at Evaluator.run(Evaluator.java:21)
    at Evaluator.main(Evaluator.java:28)

    How do I fix this?

    Sorry, I updated it

    --- Update ---

    I figured it out guys, I forgot to assign the "line" variable to the "reader.readLine()" method.
