Input Object into an array as a List in Java

I am a beginner in Java. I want to get input from the user to a 2D array, and convert into a list of objects.

When I hardcoded the data, it could be done as this way

class Job // Job Class
{
   public int taskID, deadline, profit;

   public Job(int taskID, int deadline, int profit) {
   this.taskID = taskID;
   this.deadline = deadline;
   this.profit = profit;
   }
}

public class JobSequencing{

  public static void main(String[] args) {
  // List of given jobs. Each job has an identifier, a deadline and profit associated with it

  List<Job> jobs = Arrays.asList(
        new Job(1, 9, 15), new Job(2, 2, 2),
        new Job(3, 5, 18), new Job(4, 7, 1),
        new Job(5, 4, 25), new Job(6, 2, 20),
        new Job(7, 5, 8), new Job(8, 7, 10),
        new Job(9, 4, 12), new Job(10, 3, 5)
  );
}

but, I want to get this object arrays from the user input. When I am going to do this way, it was giving me an error.

Code :

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int count = scan.nextInt();

int[][] arr = new int[count][3];

for(int i =0; i<count;i++){
   String[] arrNums = scan.nextLine().split(" ");

   arr[i][0] = Integer.parseInt(arrNums[0]);
   arr[i][1] = Integer.parseInt(arrNums[1]);
   arr[i][2] = Integer.parseInt(arrNums[2]);
}

List<Job> jobs = Arrays.asList(
   for(int i=0 ; i< count ; i++){
      new Job(arr[i][0], arr[i][1], arr[i][2]);
   }    
);

Error :

Syntax error, insert ")" to complete MethodInvocationJava(1610612976)
Syntax error, insert ";" to complete LocalVariableDeclarationStatementJava(1610612976)

Can you give me a solution for adding objects as a list from the 2D array that user inputs?

Answer

You can try this way also using bufferedReader,

InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(isr);
List<Job> jobs = new ArrayList<>();
String x = bufferedReader.readLine();
String[] y;
int count = Integer.parseInt(x);

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    y = bufferedReader.readLine().replaceAll("\s+$", "").split(" ");
    jobs.add(new Job(
            Integer.parseInt(y[0]),
            Integer.parseInt(y[1]),
            Integer.parseInt(y[2])));
}
