The below while loop runs an extra time. I am trying to perform a user input that accepts 10 valid numbers from the user and prints their sum. However, the while loop executes an extra time and asks for the 11th input.
import java.util.Scanner;
class userInput{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 1, sum = 0;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
while(i <= 10){
i++;
System.out.println("Enter number " + "#" +i);
boolean isValidNumber = sc.hasNextInt();
if(isValidNumber){
int userChoiceNumber = sc.nextInt();
sum += userChoiceNumber;
}else{
System.out.println("Invalid Input");
}
}
System.out.println("The sum of your entered numbers are = " + sum);
} }
In addition to those great comments, you should probably only increment "i" if you get a VALID input:
while(i <= 10) {
System.out.print("Enter number " + "#" +i + ": ");
boolean isValidNumber = sc.hasNextInt();
if(isValidNumber){
int userChoiceNumber = sc.nextInt();
sum += userChoiceNumber;
i++;
}else{
System.out.println("Invalid Input");
sc.next();
}
}
Note that when you have a bad input you need to get rid of it with "sc.next()".
