Hello, Im kinda having a problem with the Scanner class. With this part of my program I ultimately want to be able to enter a company name with spaces allowed and enter data numbers. What problem with this code is that during the second loop the Enter the company name will be skipped. Any help would be awsome!

for (int i = 1; i <= 4; i++) { System.out.print("Enter the name of company " + "number " + i + ": "); //if i use String companyName = keyboard.nextLine() it will skip the name on the 2nd loop //keyboard.next(); will not accept Spaces for name inputs String companyName = keyboard.nextLine(); System.out.println("companyName is-->" + companyName + "<---"); outputFile.println(companyName); System.out .print("Enter the rate for Bodily Injury Liability of company " + "number " + i + ": "); double rateBodily = keyboard.nextDouble(); DecimalFormat rateBodily1 = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); outputFile.println(rateBodily1.format(rateBodily)); System.out .print("Enter the rate for Property Damage Liability of company " + "number " + i + ": "); double rateProperty = keyboard.nextDouble(); DecimalFormat rateProperty1 = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); outputFile.println(rateProperty1.format(rateBodily)); System.out .print("Enter the rate for Uninsured Drivers Coverage of company " + "number " + i + ": "); double rateUninsured = keyboard.nextDouble(); DecimalFormat rateUninsured1 = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); outputFile.println(rateUninsured1.format(rateUninsured)); double totalCost = rateBodily + rateProperty + rateUninsured; DecimalFormat totalCost1 = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); outputFile.println(totalCost1.format(totalCost)); //Determines the lowest total Coverage and assigns the name of the company to a variable if(totalCost < index){ index = totalCost; highest = companyName; } }

Running the code....
Enter the name of company number 1: Company One
companyName is-->Company One<---
Enter the rate for Bodily Injury Liability of company number 1: 1
Enter the rate for Property Damage Liability of company number 1: 1
Enter the rate for Uninsured Drivers Coverage of company number 1: 1
Enter the name of company number 2: companyName is--><---
Enter the rate for Bodily Injury Liability of company number 2:

it gets skipped.
