When given the input...
10
42

will produce the error...
std.conv.ConvException@/usr/include/dlang/dmd/std/conv.d(2013):
Unexpected '4' when converting from type LockingTextReader to 
type int

I understand what is wrong and how to fix it but the produced 
error is
incorrect.

To '\ n' does not remain in the input stream, it is necessary to 
write so:
-----
readf("%s ", &studentCount);
