    Question Arrays (address book)

    I am trying to use an if statement in a do while. I have placed a menu inside the do while and then want to use the if statment to deal with the four menu options. The first menu option is to enter Name: Age: and Hometown:. The problem I have is that I want to take the input from the user but the if statement is only printing out the Name: etc and not allowing for user input. I feel like I can't move forward so any help is really really appreciated. As i'm learning at mo and I am really stuck.

    Please post your code that shows the problem. Be sure to wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Hiya I dont know what code wrapping is, sorry I'm really new to this. Appreciate the help.
    Here is my code

    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.ArrayList;

    public class addressbook1
    {
    public static void main (String args[])
    {
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    String [] Name= new String[100];
    int [] Age = new int[100];
    String [] Hometown =new String[100];
    int index = 0;
    int option = 0 ;
    String search = "";
    boolean end = false;


    do {
    index ++;
    System.out.println("======MENU======");
    System.out.println("1: NEW Record Add. ");
    System.out.println ("2: SEARCH Record by Name. ");
    System.out.println("3: PRINT All Records. ");
    System.out.println("4: EXIT ");
    System.out.println("What is your option (1-4)? ");
    option = scan.nextInt();


    if (option == 1)
    { System.out.println("You selected option 1");
    System.out.println("--- Adding a Record --- ");

    System.out.println("Name: ");
    Name[index] = scan.nextLine();

    System.out.println("Age " + index + ": ");
    Age [index] = scan.nextInt();

    System.out.println("Hometown " + index + ": ");
    Hometown [index] = scan.nextLine();

    }
    else if(option == 2)
    {
    System.out.println("You selected to search for a Record. ");
    }
    else if (option == 3)
    {
    System.out.println("You chose Print ALL Records ");
    }
    else if (option == 4)
    {
    System.out.println("EXIT");
    }
    else
    {
    end = true;
    System.out.println("Program has now ended!");
    }



    }while (end == false);

    }
    }

    --- Update ---

    Still working on the first part as you can see I cannot get the program to take input for each variable and print it to screen

    what code wrapping is,
    Use the values in [] shown in this:
    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code] <<<<<<<<< BEFORE THE CODE
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code] <<<<<<<<<<<<< AFTER THE CODE

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    One goes before the code and one after.

    Also post the contents of the console from when the program is compiled and executed to show what the problem is.
    Be sure to add comments in the posted text to show where the unexpected values are.

    Your problem is with the way the Scanner class's methods work.
