Thread: Need help with simple repetition statement

I cannot seem to understand why after the first round of input, the loop continues before the name variable is entered the second time. After the loops completes once, I get this output:

Enter the employee's name: Enter the employee's wage:

here is the code....

package payroll;
 
import java.util.Scanner;                                               
 
public class Payroll {                                                  
 
    public static void main( String[] args )                              
    {
        Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );                       
            String name;                                                 
            double wage;                                                
            int hours;                                                        
            double pay;                                                     
 
 
        System.out.print( "Welcome to the Payroll Calculator\n\n" );       
 
            System.out.print( "Enter the employee's name: " );                     
               name = input.nextLine();  
 
        while (name.compareTo("stop") != 0 )
        {
 
            System.out.print( "Enter the employee's wage: " );             
                wage = input.nextDouble();                             
            System.out.print( "Enter the number of hours worked: " );    
                hours = input.nextInt();                               
            pay = wage * hours;                                          
 
 
            System.out.printf( "\n\nName: %s\nWage: $%.2f\nHours worked: %d\nPay: $%.2f\n", name, wage, hours, pay );
 
            System.out.print( "Enter the employee's name: " );            
               name = input.nextLine();                                 
        }
 }
