Thread: Scanner problem

 
import java.util.Scanner;
public class RecordingCalculating
{
    public static void main(String[] args){
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
 
      System.out.println("Student Number: ");
      String numberEntered = sc.nextInt();
      numberEntered = numberCheck(numberEntered, sc);
 
      System.out.print("Family name: ");
      String familyName = sc.nextLine();
 
      System.out.print("First Name: ");
      String firstName = sc.nextLine();
 
 
 
    }

I have this code. Any idea why Family name: and First Name are outputted near eachother.. and it only lets me input 1

Clear the scanners buffer after you read a number.

// read a number

sc.nextLine(); // clear buffer

// read a String

Thanks mate
