while loop not working

[RBNSN83]

This code is used to store data into three different arrays. The desired output will be a table where the contents of the arrays will be the three different columns. Like this:
*****************************
Vehicle Type Year Model
*****************************
var 1980 v
lorry 1982 b
boat 1972 c
*****************************
This is the following code that I wrote to display such an output:

package trycardatabase;
import java.util.Scanner;import java.io.*;
/**
 *
 * @author c1272e
 */
public class CarDataBase {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        //Declare three differrent arrays
        String [] car = new String[3];
        int [] year = new int[3];
        String [] model = new String[3];

        //variable declaration
        System.out.println("Your about to enter into the loop to fill up the database.");

        //Scanner declaration
        Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
        Scanner con = new Scanner(System.in);

        //The loop itself
        for(int i = 0; i<3; i++){
            System.out.println("Row number:\t"+i);
            System.out.println("1.Enter the vehicle type:");
            car[i]= console.nextLine();
            int j = i;
            System.out.println("2.Enter the year it was manufactured:");
                            year[j]=console.nextInt();
            int k = j;
            [COLOR="Blue"]System.out.println("3.Enter the model:");
            model[k]=console.nextLine();[/COLOR]            
            
        }
        /*The following lines would display the results in the code*/
        System.out.println("Output the results in the arrays");
        System.out.println("*****************************");
        System.out.print("Vehicle Type\tYear\tModel\n");
        System.out.println("*****************************");
        for(int l = 0; l<3; l++){
            System.out.println(car[l]+"\t\t\t\t\t"+year[l]+"\t\t\t\t\t"+model[l]);
        }
        System.out.println("*****************************");
    }


}//end of code

THE OUTPUT I GET IS :

run:
Your about to enter into the loop to fill up the database.
Row number: 0
1.Enter the vehicle type:
var
2.Enter the year it was manufactured:
1980
3.Enter the model:
Row number: 1
1.Enter the vehicle type:
lorry
2.Enter the year it was manufactured:
1982
3.Enter the model:
Row number: 2
1.Enter the vehicle type:
boat
2.Enter the year it was manufactured:
1972
3.Enter the model:
Output the results in the arrays
*****************************
Vehicle Type Year Model
*****************************
var 1980
lorry 1982
boat 1972
*****************************
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 minute 17 seconds)
************************************************** ********
You see the loop is executing fine but some how the line where the
model[k]=console.nextLine();
is not waiting to take an output from the keyboard. It prints "3.Enter the model:" But it does not wait to accept the input. somehow this line is not functioning.

[tyroceur]

write
console.nextLine();

before
model[k]=console.nextLine();

[RamyaSivakanth]

year[j]=console.nextInt();
int k = j;
console.nextLine();
System.out.println("3.Enter the model:");
model[k]=console.nextLine();

add the bolded one after receiving the integer input as the enter key will not be pressed once if the integer is received.we have to forcefully move to next line to accept the next input.

@OP, please use code tags next time posting your code segment. Unformated code tags are really hard to read. If you really don't know how it could be done, check my forum signature.

And also avoid unnecessary declarations.

        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
            System.out.println("Row number:\t" + i);
            
            System.out.println("1.Enter the vehicle type:");
            car[i] = console.nextLine();

            System.out.println("2.Enter the year it was manufactured:");
            year[i] = console.nextInt();

            console.nextLine();
            System.out.println("3.Enter the model:");
            model[i] = console.nextLine();
        }

Just think about what really dose that console.nextLine();, how it if your issue?

Heres your code but made a bit more cleaner.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class CarDataBase {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int CAR_AMOUNT = 3;

        String [] car = new String[CAR_AMOUNT];
        int [] year = new int[CAR_AMOUNT];
        String [] model = new String[CAR_AMOUNT];

        //variable declaration
        System.out.println("Your about to enter into the loop to fill up the database.");

        //Scanner declaration
        Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

        //The loop itself
        for(int i = 0; i<CAR_AMOUNT ; i++){
            System.out.printf("Row number:\t %s \n 1.Enter the vehicle type: \n ",i);
            car[i]= console.nextLine();

            System.out.println("2.Enter the year it was manufactured:");
            year[i]=console.nextInt();

            System.out.println("3.Enter the model:");
            console.nextLine();
            model[i]=console.nextLine();

        }
        /*The following lines would display the results in the code*/
        String starBorder = "*****************************";
        System.out.println("Output the results in the arrays");
        System.out.println(starBorder);
        System.out.print("Vehicle Type\tYear\tModel\n");
        System.out.println(starBorder);
        for(int i = 0; i<CAR_AMOUNT ; i++){
            System.out.printf("%s \t %s \t %s \n",car[i],year[i],model[i]);
        }
        System.out.println(starBorder);
    }
}//end of code

And also it's clear to define the size of the arrays as a constant variable. It's much clear as well.
