Thread: Can the same scanner input handle more than one datatype?

I have a string array that I want the user to associate with the number of a month:

package samsExperiments;
 
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Random;
 
import static samsExperiments.StaticMethodExample.*;
 
import java.lang.StringBuilder;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.InputMismatchException;
 
import customExceptions.IntegerOutOfRangeException;
 
public class SamsExperimentsMain {
 
	public static void main(String[] args){
 
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Welcome to the Month selector\n");
 
		String[] monthName = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
				"June", "July", "August", "September", "November", "December"};
 
		String choice = "y";
		while(choice.equalsIgnoreCase("y")) {
			System.out.println("Enter a month number, between 1 and 12.");
			int monthNumber = input.nextInt();
 
			//validate input
			if(monthNumber < 1 || monthNumber > monthName.length) {
				System.out.println("Invalid month number. Try again.");
				continue;
			}
			int monthIndex = monthNumber - 1;
			System.out.println("You selected " + monthName[monthIndex]);
			System.out.print("Do you want to continue? (y/n): ");
			choice = input.nextLine();
			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}

However, without any error messages, the program got stuck here:

Welcome to the Month selector

Enter a month number, between 1 and 12.
2
You selected February
Do you want to continue? (y/n):


That wouldn't have anything to do with taking user input as a string instead of an integer, would it?
