I have a method for adding an episode/multiple episodes, which uses sc.nextInt
for validation, then sc.nextLine
for the input of the name of the episode(s)
.
However, the sc.nextInt
prevents the sc.nextLine
from executing. I have tried parsing the integer from a string, but this leads to an input mismatch. Placing an sc.nextLine
between the two also does not work. Any tips?
public void addepisodes(Scanner sc) {
int arraylistlength;
System.out.println("How many Episodes are in this Series?");
boolean valid=false;
do{
if(sc.hasNextInt()){
valid=true;
arraylistlength = Integer.parseInt(sc.nextLine());
System.out.println("Please enter List of Episodes");
for (int i = 0; i < arraylistlength; i++) {
System.out.println("Episode " + (i + 1));
String nextEp = sc.nextLine();
list_of_episodes.add(nextEp);
}
}
else{
System.out.println("Error, input an integer");
sc.next();
}
}while(!valid);
}
