import java.util.Scanner;

public class ChanceOfWinning {
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    public int calculateChance() {
        int favTeam = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());
        int gamesPlayed = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());

        for (int i = 0; i <= gamesPlayed; i++) {
            String data = input.nextLine();
        }
        return 0;

try stepping through it with a debugger

[shadow wraith]

no errors are returned, it just doesnt run the above for loop

it works without the input in there, as in this works

for (int i = 0; i <= gamesPlayed; i++) {
  System.out.println(i);

output:
0
1
2
3

[cyan zodiac]

what happens if you both have a println and the input?

[shadow wraith]

let me check

[cyan zodiac]

And does the program end or is it just stuck?

And what input do you enter?

or is the input the thing with >?

[shadow wraith]

it ends

[shadow wraith]

yeah any time i put > i mean to say thats me entering something

[cyan zodiac]

?

[shadow wraith]

it seems to work then

[cyan zodiac]

what's the value of favTeam and gamesPlayed? Use a debugger to find out, not println statements

[cyan zodiac]

using input and not println (where it doesn't work)

[shadow wraith]

fav team for testing is always 1, and gamesPlayed is always 4

[cyan zodiac]

Did you check that with a debugger?

[shadow wraith]

there set in that input and never changed again

they're*

built a small test copy, with bad var names, etc

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Cow {
    public void cow() {
        Scanner i = new Scanner(System.in);

        int g = Integer.parseInt(i.nextLine());

        for (int o = 0; o <= g; o++) {
            System.out.println(o);
            String r = i.nextLine();
        }
    }
}

favTeam is never actually used (yet) in the actual version so i didnt bother adding it here

> 4
0
> 
1
>

>
4

[cyan zodiac]

I thought o would be 1 at the beginning..?

[shadow wraith]

it shouldnt really matter

its just taking input for the number of games played

[cyan zodiac]

nvm

[shadow wraith]

for a little more context, its going to calculate the odds of a specific team winning based off their scores

the data in the for loop will be
team1 team2 team1Score team2Score

1 2 5 3 for example, saying that team one beat team 2 5 to 3

[cyan zodiac]

Do you have multiple Scanners in your application?

[shadow wraith]

no

[shadow wraith]

litterally the entire thing outside of Main

main just calls the method

[cyan zodiac]

Can you reproduce the problem with the minimal tedt code above?

[shadow wraith]

now i have the opposite problem?

ckeck with a debugger

ir maybe run the program from the command line - maybe your IDE is causing these issues

(println statements are not a debugger)
