/*
 * File: Grader.java
 * Author: Java, Java, Java
 * Description: This application program illustrates the use of
 *  methods in the java.io.BufferedReader class to perform simple I/O operations 
 *  for a keyboard/console interface.  An instance (object) of the BufferedReader
 *  class is created, and it handles the input task for the program.

 *  The program  prompts the user to input 3 exam grades. 
 *  It reads the grades, and then computes and reports the exam average. Note
 *  the use of the Integer.parseInt() method to convert the input strings into
 *  integers (ints).
