val read_int : unit -> int
(** Flush standard output, then read one line from standard input
   and convert it to an integer. Raise [Failure "int_of_string"]
   if the line read is not a valid representation of an integer. *)

This function assumes that every integer is on a separate line. This is
rarely true in programming contests.
