In java how can we pass user input to overloaded constructors?

Right now I am passing hard coded arguments to the constructors. I want to pass user input as argument to the constructors. Below is my code:

public class AddTwoNumbers {


AddTwoNumbers(int num1, int num2){
    int sum = num1+num2;
    System.out.println("Sum = "+sum);
}

AddTwoNumbers(int num1, float num2){
    float sum = num1+num2;
    System.out.println("Sum = "+sum);
}

AddTwoNumbers(float num1, int num2){
    float sum = num1+num2;
    System.out.println("Sum = "+sum);
}

AddTwoNumbers(float num1, float num2){
    float sum = num1+num2;
    System.out.println("Sum = "+sum);
}



public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    AddTwoNumbers addNumObj1 = new AddTwoNumbers(4,5);
    AddTwoNumbers addNumObj2 = new AddTwoNumbers(4.5f, 5.5f);
    
}
}

So how can I take take user input. If I use Scanner class then I am already restricting the user's choice of input that is, if I ask the user to input both integer numbers but user want one integer number and another float number. Also doing so lefts no advantage of constructor overloading. So I am looking for a solution in which I don't want to show user multiple options to select from instead handle it by code and want to make use of constructor overloading specifically.

you can't do much in console. you should ask the user to select witch constructor want to use and its Scanner that select what data type user enters for example:

        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
        int x = sc.nextInt() //will get Int
        int y = sc.nextFloat() //will get float
