Scanner "nextLine" Command [Homework]

[btgrant]

Hey, I'm doing a homework assignment for my java class and my assignment requires me to
have the user enter their first and last name so I entered the lines:

        System.out.print   ("Please enter your first and last name: ");
        String name = sc.nextLine();

I have all the scan stuff configured and those lines works fine on their own, but I'm required toput them in between other scanner commands (in particular, sc.next and sc.nextDouble).
But when I try to, the cursor prints the line but doesn't ask for input from the user... How do
I fix that?

Below is the rest of my program if you want to see it.

import java.util.Scanner;
class Test { 
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println ("Getting Input:");
        System.out.print   ("Please enter an integer: ");
        int anyInt = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.print   ("Please enter a single word: ");
        String word = sc.next();
        System.out.print   ("Please enter your first and last name: ");
        String name = sc.nextLine();
        System.out.print   ("Please enter a real number: ");
        double realNum = sc.nextDouble();
        int intNum = (int) realNum;
        System.out.println ("");
        System.out.println ("Posting Output:");
        System.out.println ("Hello, " + name);
        System.out.println ("The word you entered was: " + word);
        System.out.println ("The integer you entered was: " + anyInt);
        System.out.print   ("The real number entered was " + realNum);
        System.out.println (" which typecasted to an integer is now a " + intNum);
        int division = intNum / anyInt;
        System.out.println (intNum + " divided by " + anyInt + " = " + division);
        int mod = intNum % anyInt;
        System.out.println (intNum + " mod " + anyInt + " = " + mod);
    }
}

Any help would be much appreciated :)

You likely are having problems dealing with the end of line token, a token that gets swallowed by Scanner's nextLine() method but not by its next(), nextInt(), nextDouble() ... methods. One solution is to call sc.nextLine() after every nextInt(), nextDouble(), ...

Another solution is to avoid calling nextLine() anywhere in your code.
