    Default nothing prints after runing code

    hey guys. after running my code nothing comes out in the console for some reason (i have no errors)

    here is my code (it's a method example by my lecturer that i'm looking over)
    import java.util.Random;
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Test
    {
    	public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
    		int[] avals = createArray();
    		int[] bvals = createArray();
     
    		fillArrayRandomValues(avals);
    		printArray(avals, "AVals");
     
    		fillArrayRandomValues(bvals);
    		printArray(bvals, "BVals");
     
    		int atotal = calculateTotals(avals);
    		int btotal = calculateTotals(bvals);
     
    		printAnalysis(atotal, btotal);
    	}
     
    	private static void printAnalysis(int atotal, int btotal)
    	{
    		if(atotal > btotal)
    		{
    			System.out.println("A is greater than B");			
    		}
    		else if(btotal > atotal)
    		{
    			System.out.println("B is greater than A");
    		}
    		else
    		{
    			System.out.println("A is equal to B");
    		}
    	}
     
    	private static int calculateTotals(int[] vals)
    	{		
    		int total = 0;
    		for(int i = 0; i < vals.length; i++)
    		{
    			total = total + vals[i];
    		}		
    		return total;
    	}
     
    	private static void printArray(int[] vals, String title)
    	{
    		System.out.print(title + ":\t");
    		for(int i = 0; i < vals.length; i++)
    		{
    			System.out.print(vals[i] + "\t");
    		}		
    	}
     
    	private static void fillArrayRandomValues(int[] vals)
    	{
    		Random r = new Random();
    		for(int i = 0; i < vals.length; i++)
    		{
    			vals[i] = r.nextInt(1000);
    		}
    	}
     
    	public static int[] createArray()
    	{
    		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int size = input.nextInt();
    		int[] vals = new int[size];
    		return vals;			
    	}
    }

    anyone know why it is not printing anything out in the console?

    thanks in advance

    Default Re: nothing prints after runing code

    int size = input.nextInt();
    Here you are asking for input from the user, so when you run the program, input a number twice (you call createArray() twice) and it should display something for you.
    Please use [highlight=Java]//code goes here...[/highlight] tags when posting your code
