Scanner.next() and Scanner.nextLine()

Question

I have the following code:

Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);
String[] data = new String[5];

System.out.println(\"Please, enter the name of the customer orde         


        

Answer 1

This should work:

    Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);
    String[] data = new String[5];

    System.out.println("Please, enter the name of the customer ordering:");
    data[0] = in.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Please, enter the assembly details: ");
    data[1] = in.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Please, enter the assembly id:");
    data[2] = in.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Please, enter the date the assembly was ordered (MM-DD-YYYY):");
    data[3] = in.nextLine();
    in.close();

You should be using nextLine() and not next() to read each line from console
