It's hard to follow you, but why do you call nextLIne() twice?
amber gull
so the user can input the name
lusty scaffold
You don't think calling it once is enough?
amber gull
if i comment it out it won't let the user input the name
lusty scaffold
So the reason isn't "so the user can input the name" but "you had the impression that doing that would fix another problem you had"?
amber gull
im saying the sc.nextLine() isn't the issue here
lusty scaffold
of course it is, come on
amber gull
?????????

lusty scaffold
maybe it's not the only one
amber gull
its not storing user-inputed values into the names array
lusty scaffold
Yes. So first don't do nonsencial things
lusty scaffold
Then, let's focus on why sensical things doesn't seem to work
amber gull
for the sc.nextLine() to be there
lusty scaffold
No, two nextLine() does not make sense
amber gull
what would you do instead?
lusty scaffold
Not have two, for starters
amber gull
yeah thats why im on here
amber gull
someone else surely knows better
lusty scaffold
I can give the solution, but I also demand you learn from the experience
Doing nonsensical things, and not even talking about how you're doing so and what's your reason, is wrong. You won't make progress when you do that
amber gull
im asking why my values are not being stored in my array, not for you to berate me on using nextline twice
lusty scaffold
And I demand you learn how to program, not just demand to be given solutions
amber gull
not demanding solutions????
lusty scaffold
Well you're refusing anything else, so...
amber gull
you aren't offering anything constructive to my question
lusty scaffold
Because you aren't participating
amber gull
instead you're going off about some other part of my code
lusty scaffold
That other part is wrong.
amber gull
but im not asking about it
what could be the reason why my values are not being stored in the array.
lusty scaffold
Yes it is because you can't solve your problem without making it right
And if you don't want to speak about a part of your program, then remove it from your program, and don't show it
Don't complain that helpers want to talk about it
amber gull
ok just overlook it then
lusty scaffold
Now are you ready to focus and stop complaining?
lusty scaffold
ok just overlook it then
No, we do it my way
lusty scaffold
Beside it can't be overlooked because you can't solve your problem without fixing that part
amber gull
theres other helpers here
lusty scaffold
cause I've been pretty adamant on insisting that that isn't the problem
Yes and you're admantly wrong
How would you know whether it is the problem?
amber gull
ok i want a second opinion
lusty scaffold
By all means
I was going to comment on that quote above, to point out why you didn't apply it correctly.
But you've refused to listen to me, so go ahead waiting for another opinion
amber gull
well i fixed it and the nextline wasn't the issue.
lusty scaffold
Of course. It works perfectly with two nextLine()s. We all believe that
lusty scaffold
Yes, and I mean, it's not like I can prove it doesn't.
