    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        int a;
        System.out.println("Input one of the following 3 numbers: 100, 200, 300");
        System.out.print("Enter: ");
        a = input.nextInt();
        TestApplication testapp = new TestApplication();
        testapp.test(a);
    }
}
/*

 */
public class TestApplication {
    private int a; 
    public void test(int a) {
        this.a = a; // TODO: where to get the "a"? (entered by users from console)
        System.out.println("The number_a was passed in: "+a);
    }
    protected void printNum() throws Exception {
        int num;
        switch (a) {
        case 100:
            num = num + 10;
            break;
        case 200:
            num = num + 20;
            break;
        case 300:
            num = num + 30;
            break;
        default:
            // TODO: unexpected number input. throw();
            break;
        }
                System.out.println("I got a sum number"+num);
    }
