    Exclamation Don't clearly understand the function of ".nextLine()" & a comparison of two codes

    The function of the code is as below:
    Classify one's age and,
    if sb is over 18 years old, then compare his/her favorite food with "pizza".

    package practice;
     
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Main {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Type your age here:");
            Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
            int age=sc.nextInt();    //this is the difference between two codes
            if (age>=18) {
                System.out.println("Type your favourite food here: ");
                String food = sc.nextLine();
     
                if (food.equals("pizza")) {
                    System.out.println("Mine too!");
                }
                else {
                    System.out.println("not mine!");
                }
            }
            else if(age>=13){
                System.out.println("You are a teenager");
            }
            else{
                System.out.println("You are a child");
            }
     
        }}


    The code above can't fulfill my purpose.


    package practice;
     
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Main {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Type your age here:");
            Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
            String s=sc.nextLine();
            int age=Integer.parseInt(s);  //This is the difference between two codes
            if (age>=18) {
                System.out.println("Type your favourite food here: ");
                String food = sc.nextLine();
     
                if (food.equals("pizza")) {
                    System.out.println("Mine too!");
                }
                else {
                    System.out.println("not mine!");
                }
            }
            else if(age>=13){
                System.out.println("You are a teenager");
            }
            else{
                System.out.println("You are a child");
            }
     
        }}

    Default Re: Don't clearly understand the function of ".nextLine()" & a comparison of two codes

    Did you read the description for those two methods in the API doc for the Scanner class. What they do is explained there.
    If you have questions about what is said in the API doc, copy the text in question, paste it here and describe what problems you are having with it.
    The API doc: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
