User input using Scanner class

Question

How get string input from user using scanner. e.g:

Scanner get = new Scanner(System.in);

String name = get.nextString();

But calling doesn't work with string but it works with integers or double data types.

`String name = get.nextString( );` Write types uppercase and don't forget the brackets at the end of a method call. — Schokokuchen Bäcker, Mar 12 '17 at 15:57
try, String name = get.next() ; And for such minor issues please read your tutorial guides well before asking, java docs , tutorialspoint , javatpoint , are some good places if you want to learn. — Ashish Sharma, Mar 12 '17 at 16:05

You have to use new Scanner().nextLine() or just new Scanner().next() because there is no nextString() method in the Scanner;

You should call next() method instead of nextString().
