what is wrong in this code

[lp]

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class l1
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
System.out.println("enter a value");
DataInputStream did =new DataInputStream(System.in);
System.out.println("lakshmipanda"+ did );
}
}

But what do You want to do?
I can tell You what are You doing now. You created new DataInputStream attached to standard input. Than You printed dis.toString() which in this case is just class name and reference number.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class l1
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
try
{
byte[] data=new byte[50];
System.out.println("enter a value");
DataInputStream did =new DataInputStream(System.in);
did.read(data);
System.out.println("lakshmipanda " + new String(data) );
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
}
}
Try this out.
Happy middling with java.
