    What line does the error happen on? Please post the full text of the error message.

    The NoSuchElementException error is from a Scanner method that tried to read and didn't find anything.


    One problem I see is that hasNext() is not called before every call to next()

    The error happens on line 35. The full error message is:

    java.util.NoSuchElementException
    at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:907)
    at java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1416)
    at Capitals.main(Capitals.java:35)

    and then in my code editor it brings up

    java.util.NoSuchElementException:
    null (in java.util.Scanner)


    I had read that somewhere else, but the information is still being displayed so now I'm just confused.
    ---------

    does having a hasNext() before the brackets there on line 29, not solve that problem? I guess I just assumed it would cover everything in the brackets :S

    The hasNext() method tests if there is one line available to be read. The code then tries to read 3 lines without testing if there are 2 more lines available after the one.

    The code should check if there is a line available by calling hasNext() before every call to next().
