    Default 2dArray index 00 input problem

    Hello I need help in my code

    The problem is that it skips the index [0][0] and it I cannot enter a value and it displays blank.
    So here's the output:

     

    Enter row size: 3
    Enter colum size: 4

    Enter a string in location [0][0]: Enter a string in location [0][1]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [0][2]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [0][3]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [1][0]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [1][1]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [1][2]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [1][3]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [2][0]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [2][1]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [2][2]: asdw
    Enter a string in location [2][3]: asdw

    The list of the following strings are:
    asdw asdw asdw
    asdw asdw asdw asdw
    asdw asdw asdw asdw




    Here's my code:
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class FSWtwo
    {
        public static void main (String[] args){
     
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
     
            System.out.print("Enter row size: ");
            int row = sc.nextInt();
            System.out.print("Enter colum size: ");
            int column = sc.nextInt();
            System.out.println();
            String arr[][] = new String [row][column];
     
            for(int x = 0; x < row; x++){
                    for(int y = 0; y < column; y++){
                    System.out.print("Enter a string in location [" + x + "][" + y + "]: ");
                    arr[x][y] = sc.nextLine();
                    System.out.print("");
                }
            } 
            System.out.println("\nThe list of the following strings are: ");
            for(int x = 0; x < row; x++)
            {
                for(int y = 0; y < column; y++){
                    System.out.print(arr[x][y] + "\t ");
                }
                    System.out.println();
                }
            }
    }

    Default Re: 2dArray index 00 input problem

    The issue is in the Scanner class when calling any next... method followed by a call to nextLine.
    See https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/why-is...ext-functions/
    The solution is to call nextLine to clear the newline character before calling nextLine to read the next line of data.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
