Writing to .Txt File Logic

[whitedragon551]

Point of this program is to ask the user for 10 items they would want on an island with them, then ask for the price of said item, and write item and price to a .txt file. Right now its doing this as soon as it gets to the second item and you can not enter a second item name only a price:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class MakeIslandList
{
	public static void main(String[] args)  throws IOException
	{
	DataOutputStream ostream;
	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	
	int count = 1;
	String item;
	double itemCost;
	ostream = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("MakeIslandList.txt"));
	
	try
	{
		while(count != 11){
		System.out.print("Enter your number " + count + " item you would have on an island \n");
		item = input.nextLine();
		System.out.print("Enter the cost of this item \n");
		itemCost = input.nextDouble();
		ostream.writeUTF(item);
		ostream.writeDouble(itemCost);
		count++;}
	}
	catch(IOException e)
	{
	System.err.println("Error writing to file");
	}
	finally
	{
	ostream.close();
	}
	
	}
}

Scanner's nextDouble() method (and a few others) doesn't consume the newline, which remains in the Scanner until the next nextLine() call.
