Hello all! I am writing an inventory program for school and have run into a problem that I can't figure out. I believe it has to do with


switch (menuSelection){
case 1:
System.out.println("How Many Items would you like to add?");
x = userInput.nextInt();
for( int i = 0; i < x; i ++){
game[i] = new Game();
}

for( int i = 0; i < x; i++ ){
System.out.println("Enter name of Game: ");
name = userInput.nextLine(); <------
^^^^^^^

I just don't know why it is causing a problem.

The problem only happens while its running.
I run it, hit 1 then enter, hit 1 then enter, type in a random name then hit enter, type in a random number then hit enter. Once I do that the program is suppose to show: Name: (whatever you typed) Price: (whatever you typed). The problem is that it only outputs the price.

What is wrong and why?
Thank you for the help.

Sorry about the first post. It is my first ever on this site and I didn't fully understand how to post it as code. Because of my error I reposted it. Thank you for understanding.

in Main :
~ comment #line 44
~ add userInput.nextLine() # line 34

reason ? ,

take a look:

read about Scanner.nextInt and Scanner.nextLine

Thank you very much. Now that I know where the problem is (tested and works) I am on my way to go study those. Thank you very much!
