I'm coding a programme that calculates data from an input file and compares the results with user input. I have been given a specific input file that I am not supposed to edit. However, for my code I removed the empty line at the end of the input data in order for my code to work correctly, but apparently I am not able to do this. I am now looking for a way to edit my code to allow 1 blank/empty line at the bottom of the input file after the last line of data, but still have my code work exactly as it currently does. At the moment, my code does not work correctly with the empty/blank line at the bottom.
Here is my code;

Here is my current input file data with the bottom line removed;

Unit Two

36 7

Unit Four

Unit Five

Unit Eight

40 12
Unit Nine
5
24 8
24 6.5
30 6.5
24 7
32 7
Here is what the bottom of input file should and needs to look like;
Unit Nine
5
24 8
24 6.5
30 6.5
24 7
32 7
//This line will be empty
I believe I just need to change something at this point in the code;
if (input.hasNextLine()) { //If statement to check for next input
input.nextLine();
input.next();
As the error I am given with the empty line added points to line 128, which is input.next();
Any help is appreciated.
