import java.util.*;
public class Customer
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner s=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("enter name");
String name=s.nextLine();
System.out.println("enter age");
int age=s.nextInt();
System.out.println("enter gender");
String gender=s.next();
System.out.println("Hailing from:");
String city=s.nextLine(); /* It doesn't take any input and directly display name and so on.*/

//Dispay customer details

System.out.println(name);
System.out.println(age);
System.out.println(gender);
System.out.println(city);
}
}

What I have tried:

s.nextLine(); /*After "String city=s.nextLine()" so that it consume new line otherwise city won't take space but it doesn't display any output after adding it.*/

Solution 1

Replace

String gender=s.next();

With

String gender=s.nextLine();

it's not taking gender after that and directly asking for Hailing from.

Solution 3

You need the scanner to consume the line end character(s) after getting the gender. Change the code by adding s.nextLine after getting the gender, thus:

Java

String gender=s.next();
s.nextLine(); // add this to consume the end of line.
System.out.println("Hailing from:");
