Keeping console input on one line

[LasseA]

I'm doing an exercise from my javabook, in where I'm supposed to get output like:
"Enter a student record: Maria 5 72 91 84 89 78
Maria's grade is 82.8"

Where name and the numbers on that line are things typed in the console.

With my code:

import java.util.*;
public class C4E8 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.print("Enter a student record: ");
		String name = console.next();
		int amount = console.nextInt();
		printGPA(amount, name);
		
		
	
	}
	
	public static void printGPA(int amount, String name) {
		Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.print(" ");
		double grade = console.nextDouble();
		double sum = grade;
		for (int i = 2 ; i <= amount ; i++) {
			System.out.print(" ");
			grade = console.nextDouble();
			sum += grade;
		}
		System.out.println(name + "'s grade is "+sum/amount);
	}
}

it ends up looking like this :
"Enter a student record: Joe
3
30
20
10
Joe's grade is 20.0
"

How do I fix it so that the numbers typed in are on same line as where I type in the name?

Then you have to read the whole line at once and parse it. The console.nextXXX() causes a new line.

Hi LasseA you just need to declare on console variable as a static member of the class. Because the problem is when using two Scanner the first run is taking the buffer of the console.

Instead of two Scanner, declare just one like this

static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

How will that solve his problem? He's reading multiple inputs which are terminated by a CR/LF.

Don't press Enter until all the data has been entered on one line. Every press of Enter moves to a new line.
