InputMismatchException

Working my way thru a basic java programing book I came across a strange problem . Trying to get keyboard input through scanner I get a InputMismatchException when I enter 2dot5 ( 2.5 ) but it takes it as a double when I enter 2comma5 (2,5). Anybody know what could be happening?

This sounds like an issue with the locale used by your Scanner object. Consider changing this by calling .useLocale(...) on your Scanner object, using a locale that is more in line with your desired numeric format.

i.e.,

Code:

---

Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
myScanner.useLocale(Locale.US); // for United States-compatible number formatting
