My code had a problem with Scanner, when I created a Scanner to receive variables from the user when I used the different methods of ".next", it was dismissing certain inputs. Here is what I got:
package com.company;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Practice6 {
public static void main(String[] arg) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("It is a simple calculator sums two variables,");
System.out.print("Please enter the first number: ");
byte firstNumber = input.nextByte();
System.out.print("Please enter the second number: ");
byte secondNumber = input.nextByte();
System.out.print("Please enter your name: ");
String name = input.nextLine();
System.out.print("Please enter your student ID: ");
String id = input.nextLine();
System.out.print(name + " (" + id + ")" + " the result is: ");
System.out.println(firstNumber+secondNumber);
}
}
What it shows in the terminal is:
It is a simple calculator sums two variables,
Please enter the first number: 2
Please enter the second number: 3
Please enter your name: Please enter your student ID: 9524021
(9524021) the result is: 5
Can you explain to me why "String name = input.nextLine();" is being ignored?
