Does anyone see a problem with this? First input works fine, but after the first loop, it doesn't ask to enter a value again. How do I fix this?
int value;
while(true)
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a value");
try
{
value = scan.nextInt();
System.out.println("value provided is: " + value);
scan.nextLine(); // consumes "\n" character in buffer
}
catch(InputMismatchException e) // outputs error message if value provided is not an integer
{
System.out.println("Incorrect input type. Try again.");
continue; // restarts while loop to allow for re-entering of a valid input
}
scan.close();
}
