num = Integer.Parse(Console.ReadLine())
Console.WriteLine(" you entered {0}", num)
err = False
Catch ex As FormatException
Console.WriteLine("sorry: kindly enter the number only ")
Catch ex As OverflowException

Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine("critical error occurred like copy, paste")
Finally
If err = False Then
