    Default duplicating output

    public class Ch6SleepStatistics {
     
        private Scanner scanner;
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            Ch6SleepStatistics prog = new Ch6SleepStatistics();
            prog.start();
        }
     
        public Ch6SleepStatistics() {
     
            scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        }
     
        public void start() {
     
            double sleepHour,
                   sum = 0;
     
            int cnt = 0;
     
            // enter the dorm name
            System.out.print("Dorm name: ");
            String dorm = scanner.next();
     
            // Loop: get hours of sleep for each resident
            //       until 0 is entered.
            sleepHour = getDouble("Enter sleep hours (0 - stop: )"); // THIS PART
     
            while (sleepHour != 0) {
     
                sum += sleepHour;
                cnt++;
     
                sleepHour = getDouble("Enter sleep hours (0 to stop):");
     
                if (cnt == 0) {
     
                    System.out.println("No Data Entered");
                }
                else {
     
                    DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
                    System.out.println("Averatge sleep time for " + dorm + " is \n\n    " +
                                       df.format(sum/cnt) + " hours.");
                }
            }
        }
     
        private double getDouble(String message) {
     
            double result;
     
            System.out.print(message);
            result = scanner.nextDouble();
     
            return result;
        }
    }

    OUTPUT:

    Dorm name: Dorm
    Enter sleep hours (0 - stop: )Enter sleep hours (0 - stop: )  // this should only print once
    how come that it displayed twice?



    sleepHour = getDouble("Enter sleep hours (0 - stop: )"); //  this is the  one that is duplicating..

    sleepHour = getDouble("Enter sleep hours (0 - stop:)"); // and when i remove the whitespace BETWEEN the Colon and the closing parenthesis

    when i remove the whitespace BETWEEN the Colon and the closing parenthesis, the program runs fine

    hey guys.. i've been encountering this problem manytimes.. and i dont know where do this error come from..

    some other guys said that they have no problems with printing the output....and they made some changes
    regarding with the errors and changes that i've stated,

    but they said that what ever they do, it doesnt duplicate the output..

    im using NetBeans 6.7 IDE..

    I didn't get this problem... However, I am getting another issue. You're not calculating the sum and average using the latest data. Instead of using a 1 and a half while loop, I'd suggest using a do-while loop here.

    do
    {
         sleephour = this.getDouble("Enter sleep hours (0 to stop):");
         count++;
         sum += sleephour;
         System.out.println("Your average sleep time is " + (sum/count));
    } while(sleephour != 0);
    I'm using eclipse, and there's nothing in the code that could suggest such an error... maybe you should re-install your IDE and/or Java?

    It might, but I doubt it. If it did, I would have gotten the same results regardless of the IDE because they all use the same JVM. What version of Java do you have?

    oh by the way world, have a look at these,

    public class Sample {
     
        private static enum Option {YES, NO}
        private Scanner scanner;
     
        private int gameNumber;
        private static int DEFAULT_NUMBER = 10;
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            Sample samp = new Sample();
     
            samp.start();
        }
     
        public Sample() {
     
            scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        }
        private void start() {
     
            Option opt;
     
            opt = play(); // prompt the user if he wants to play the game
     
            System.out.print("\n");
     
            setTheNumber(); // ask the user if he wants to set the game number
     
            while (opt == Option.YES) {
     
                // this is where the game take place
                // NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
     
                opt = play(); // this will ask the user if he wants to play again
            }
        }
     
        private Option play() {
     
            String input;
     
            Option op;
     
            System.out.print("Play? (Yes - y, No - n): ");
            input = scanner.next();
     
            if (input.equals("Y") || input.equals("y")) {
     
                op = Option.YES;
            }
            else {
     
                op = Option.NO;
            }
     
            return op;
        }
     
        private void setTheNumber() {
     
            String response;
     
            System.out.print("Set The Number: ");
            response = scanner.nextLine();
     
            if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("y")) {
     
                System.out.print("Enter Your Desired Number: ");
                int num = scanner.nextInt();
     
                gameNumber = num;
            }
            else {
     
                System.out.println("Default" + DEFAULT_NUMBER);
                gameNumber = DEFAULT_NUMBER;
            }
        }
    }

    this has a different error.. but someone simply told me to do this
                    System.out.print("Set The Number: ");
    		response = scanner.next(); // its in the part of the .next() method

    he says i have to change that one into this one Otherwise it's going to look for the \n.


    i think there is something to do with the methods of the scanner class, unlike BuffferedReader,
    something about buffer reading... (i dont know much about buffers yet)
    anyway the error of this program is that
    it Skips a block of a statement(in the setTheNumber() method).



    i just want to have some clarification of this kind of erros because i've been encountering this kind of output(errors) since i've been using the
    scanner class, and when i write a complex program with lots of code, im having a hard time looking at the part where this error took place
