    Default NoSuchElementException(), simple program not behaving right with Scanner class.

    So I am new to reading from files with Java and are trying to get this loop to keep reading from a file that the program has written to but it seems that every time I run the script the terminal seems to wait for me to input a value instead. And when I do just to see how it would behave I get a NoSuchElementException(). I'm not really sure what is happening but I know what that error means. It doesn't make sense to me why it is acting like that. It's been really driving me nuts.

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.Random;
    public class BottleCapPrize
    {
        public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
        {
            PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter(new File("BottleOpener.txt"));
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            Scanner inFile = new Scanner(new File("BottleOpener.txt"));
            Random rand = new Random();
            int trials;
            int winCap = (int)(Math.random()*5)+1;
            int lenCaps = 0;
            int totalCaps = 0;
            double avg;
     
            System.out.print("Enter number of trials: ");
            trials = in.nextInt();
     
            for (int counter = 1; counter <= trials; counter++){
                while (rand.nextInt(5)+1 != winCap){
                    lenCaps++;
                }
                outFile.println(lenCaps);
                lenCaps = 0;
            }
            outFile.close ();
     
            while (in.hasNext()){
                totalCaps += inFile.nextInt();       //<- I GET THE ERROR HERE
            }
            System.out.println("AVG: ~" + (avg = (double)totalCaps/trials));
        }
    }

    Default Re: NoSuchElementException(), simple program not behaving right with Scanner class.

    Found it. while loop parameter is supposed to be (inFile.hasNext). Wow, I always seem to find the answer right after posting.
