Thread: I get an error when the computer tries to read the String in a loop

public static void main(String [] args)
{
FilmData MyFilm[] = new FilmData[4];
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int count=0;
for (int i=0; i<MyFilm.length; i++)
{
count=i+1;
System.out.println("Details for Movie"+count);
System.out.println("---------------------");
System.out.println("Type the movie name");
String movie=input.nextLine(); // Get error in the 2nd loop when data is input
// I think this is an error in Java. But is there a way to handle this?
System.out.println("Type the length in minutes");
int length=input.nextInt();
MyFilm[i] = new FilmData(movie,length);
}
}

Thanks Sir
Is this a Java compiler error? As I have faced this problem many times.

I see the issue you're having. This is because input.nextInt() does not read the newline character generated when you hit the return key. You can fix this by changing the last line to:

length[i]=input.nextInt();
input.nextLine();

This will read the newline character and then proceed with your application as expected.
