    Default While loop not incrementing java

    I'm just starting to learn about java. My while loop does not seem to increment. Here's the snippet of my while loop inside a try and catch:

    File file = new File("Reservation.txt");
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(file);
     
        sc.useDelimiter(",");
    try {
        while (sc.hasNext()) {
            i = 0;
     
            newRes[i] = readRec;
     
            fuN2 = sc.next();
            newRes[i].fullName = fuN2;
            readRec.setFirstName(fuN2);
            System.out.println("\n" + newRes[i].fullName);
     
            cn2 = sc.next();
            newRes[i].contact = cn2;
            readRec.setContact(cn2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].contact);
     
            dt2 = sc.next();
            newRes[i].date = dt2;
            readRec.setDate(dt2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].date);
     
            pa2 = sc.nextInt();
            newRes[i].pax = pa2;
            readRec.setPax(pa2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].pax);
     
            bt2 = sc.next();
            newRes[i].bday = bt2;
            readRec.setBirthday(bt2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].bday);
     
            ch2 = sc.nextInt();
            newRes[i].child = ch2;
            readRec.setChild(ch2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].child);
     
            se2 = sc.nextInt();
            newRes[i].senior = se2;
            readRec.setSenior(se2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].senior);
     
            pr2 = sc.nextInt();
            newRes[i].j = pr2;
            readRec.setPrice(pr2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].j);
     
            dpr2 = sc.nextInt();
            newRes[i].k = dpr2;
            readRec.setDisPrice(dpr2);
            System.out.println(newRes[i].k);
            sc.next();
            sc.nextLine();
            i++;
        }
     
    } catch (NoSuchElementException e)
    {
        sc.close();
        System.out.println("===============================");
     
    }

    Whenever I try to print out the variable 'i', it always prints out 0, but it always reads the file correctly and in order. Also got help from the java cheat sheet

    Default Re: While loop not incrementing java

    while loop does not seem to increment
    ...
    'i', it always prints out 0
    i is set to 0 at the top of the loop. Move that statement outside of the loop if you do not want the value of i to be set to 0 every time the loop iterates.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
