Here is a basic example of how to use the readLine() method to get input from the user:

In this code:

1. We first create an InputStreamReader object isr that takes System.in (which allows us to read data from the console) as the argument.
2. We then create a BufferedReader object br that takes isr as the argument.
3. We print a message prompting the user to enter some text.
4. We call the readLine() method of br to read a line of text from the user.
5. We print the text the user entered.

Remember to handle or declare the IOException that can be thrown by readLine(). In this example, the IOException is simply declared to be thrown by the main method, but in a more complex program, you would typically handle the exception in a more robust way.
