Multiple Java User Input

Question

I want to make the user either type in an integer (number) or a text/word.

List
1. Name1 (text1)
2. Name2 (text2)
3. Name3 (text3)

User input either int (1-3) or name (name1 - name3). After typing that into the system my code displays text1 - text3.

But how can the user either type in the number OR the name.
