Mainly a visual and user-friendliness issue, but I would still like to fix it. My code here with the user prompt and waiting for an entered string:

System.out.print("Enter a word or phrase: "); 

phrase = input.nextLine();

The functionality works fine and whenever you start typing, and the cursor moves after the ":" symbol, but I'm confused why the cursor doesn't automatically move there every time the loop repeats.

    *"every time the loop repeats"* What loop? – user1803551 Oct 20 '14 at 06:59
