Thread: (For & Scanner) executing themselves randomly

Evening!

Guys, after the first loop, where the program asks for the names to be placed inside the Array, the second "for" is executing all of its functions without me giving it the permissions nor asking, it should've stood still till I gave him the name I'm looking for.
In a Nutshell, the code's returning "NAME NOT FOUND" without me even giving it a name to search for, (error happens only once though).

Best Regards,

Here's the code:

package matrizes;
 
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class slide {
 
public static void main(String[] args) {
//VAR
String[] nomes = new String[5];
Scanner ler = new Scanner(System.in);
String entrada; String encerrar = "ENCERRAR" ;
//INDEX
for (int i = 0; i < nomes.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Digite o nome do "+(i+1)+ "° aluno ");
nomes[i] = ler.next();
}
for(int i = 100; i >= 100;i++) {
System.out.println("Digite o nome que queira verificar");
System.out.println("Ou ENCERRAR para encerrar o programa.");
entrada = ler.nextLine();
if (entrada.equalsIgnoreCase(encerrar)) {
entrada = "END";
System.out.println("Programa interrompido com sucesso !");
break;
}
else {
for(int b = 0; b < nomes.length; b++) {
if (entrada.equalsIgnoreCase(nomes[b])) {
System.out.println("Nome encontrado !");
System.out.println(nomes[b]+" é nosso "+(b+1)+"° aluno !");
entrada = "true";
}
}
if (entrada != "true") {
System.out.println("Nome não encontrado !");
entrada = "false";
}
else {
entrada = "false";
}
}
 
}
 
ler.close();
}
 
}

The problem is with the Scanner methods. Please read this:

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

The code has lost all its indentations making it harder to read and understand. Logically nested statements should be indented.

Do NOT use == or != to compare String objects. Use the equals() method to compare objects.
