Mismatch error thrown?

[Teclis]

When I run my program, it throws mismatch error when trying to read in the shutOut variable. I'm not really sure why.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PitcherData

      int shutOut = 0;
      String nameF, nameL;
      double era = 0;

      
      Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

      
      String[] pitchNameF = new String[arrSize];
      String[] pitchNameL = new String[arrSize];
      int[] shutOutArr = new int[arrSize];

      
      double[] eraArr = new double[arrSize];

      

      nameF = scan.next();
      if(nameF.equals(sent))
      {
         System.out.println("Error: Sentinel rearched before loop.");
         System.exit(0);
      }
      if(nameF.length() > 20)
      {
         System.out.println("Error: Name too long"
                            + "Quitting program.");

Post the Exact error message you receive(copy/paste, no paraphrasing)

[Teclis]

Well, with the if/else in when reading the shutOut in, it says:
Walter Johnson
shutOut in incorrect format.
Quitting program.


with out the if/else:
-bash-3.2$ java PitcherData < PitcherData.in
Walter Johnson

[sunde887]

Since I am lazy, would you mind highlighting line 124 in your initial code for me?

[Teclis]

There you go, thanks.

[Junky]

Your problem may be related to a known side effect of using nextInt or nextDouble. Both of these methods do not consume an end of line (EOL) character. So the next time you call nextLine it does consume the EOL and returns an empty String. This puts your code and input data out of whack. I'm not going to debug this for you. That is your job. See if this is what is causing your problem.

[sunde887]

The only thing I can think of is that it is not reading the next int because there is a space there after the last read operation. Try changing it to have this like

if(scan.hasNext()){
  String s = scan.next();
  shutOut = Integer.parseInt(s);
}

and let me know if it works.

[Teclis]

Threw another mismatch at the same spot. :(

Im working on it Junky, I just don't really know where to begin at.

[Teclis]

If I read your recommendation correctly, then I'm pretty sure it isn't what is wrong. For some reason, the code is reading in "Walter", "Johnson", but isn't reading in the following Int on the same line which is "110".

[sunde887]

Using scan.next instead of scan.nextInt() also through the same error?

[Junky]

Change your code as below and it will help work out what is wrong with your code.

int count = 1;
while(!nameF.equals(sent)) {
    System.out.println(count++);
    if(scan.hasNextInt())
    //etc

This is what I meant by debugging your code which is your job not mine!

What is this
I dont even


I would've never thought of that.

[Teclis]

Okay, so I was misunderstanding where my code failed.


I feel smart. :<

[Junky]

To help you even further add these two lines of code at the very bottom of your while loop (but still inside);

System.out.println(nameF.equals(sent));
System.out.println(">" + nameF + "<");

[Teclis]

>NoPitcher <

For some reason, it finds an extra space after "NoPitcher". So soon as I placed my sentinel as "NoPitcher ", it worked.

[Junky]

The reason is because you put it there.

nameF += " ";

[Teclis]

Well, I'll be.
