Thread: Help With coding on Arraylists and Scanner

Hi I'm new to learning java/programing and I'm trying to create a function with the scanner class that reads the next line and appends it to an array list however my code doesn't work the way I want it to:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class arrayappendtest {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
        String tmp;
 
        ArrayList<String> sample = new ArrayList();
 
        while (s.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println("Enter something (type quit to quit): ");
            tmp = s.nextLine();
            if (tmp.equals("quit")){
                break;
            } else{
                sample.add(tmp);
            }
        }
        s.close();
        System.out.println(sample);
 
    }
}

when I run this block there is always an extra entry


test // this shouldn't be appended
Enter something (type quit to quit):
test1
Enter something (type quit to quit):
test2
Enter something (type quit to quit):
quit
Enter something (type quit to quit): // this shouldn't print either
[test, test1, test2]

I don't understand why this is happening / what would be the best practice to solve I'm not appending anything until I get to my while loop.

Thank you
