I'm trying to take an input using Scanner(System.in) but it's not letting me. Help!

Question

So I'm trying to take an input from a user using Scanner(System.in) but when i try to type something into the console it won't let me.

Can anyone help?

Function.show();

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

if (input.equals("a"))
{
    Function.outputFile(1, list);
}

input.close();

Answer 1

do u put anything other than "a" as input? because if u do it won't work.

Also try to use "" in the input, like "Hey" and see if that will help you.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

You're forgetting to call next on the Scanner. Your if line should be if (input.next().equals("a")), instead.
