Thread: Scanner multipule input [Solved]

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of trouble using a Scanner, it'll get the typed information right up until the last two, where it decides to skip "Please enter your town:" and ask for "Please enter your postcode:" instead, though it'll still show "Please enter your town:" in the console (I just can't enter a value into it) every other input seems to go through fine.

Can anyone be of assistance and inform me as to why this is happening? Logic tells me that it's a problem using multiple inputs, perhaps even a problem when the input is changed from String to integer - But I'm hitting my head off the desk in frustration

Update: It appears my problem was solved by creating one scanner for strings and the other for integers.

Code updated:

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class week3b
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		Scanner integer = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Please enter your title:");
		String title = input.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Please enter your forename:");
		String forename = input.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Please enter your surname:");
		String surname = input.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Please enter your house number:");
		int housenumber = integer.nextInt();
		System.out.println("Please enter your street name:");
		String street = input.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Please enter your town:");
		String town = input.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Please enter your post code:");
		String postcode = input.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Your postal address is:");
		System.out.println("\n"+title+" "+forename+", "+surname+" ");
		System.out.println("\n"+housenumber+" "+street+", ");
		System.out.println("\n"+town+",");
		System.out.println("\n"+postcode+"");
	}
 
}

Thank you for your time,
