I'm trying to get input from the console a second time within the program using Scanner
s but when calling a second Scanner
in another method it’s coming up with NoSuchElement exception.
If I remove startMenu()
from running fileReader()
it works, however for some reason after running it throws the exception.
public class Garden {
public static final Garden GARDEN = new Garden();
//variable declartaions removed
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (null != args && 0 < args.length) {
GARDEN.fileName = args[0].trim();
}
if (GARDEN.fileName != null) {
GARDEN.fileReader(GARDEN.fileName);
} else {
GARDEN.fileReader();
}
GARDEN.startMenu();
int mainI = 0;
while (mainI != 1000000) {
try {
Thread.sleep(0);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
GARDEN.daysWeather();
GARDEN.anotherDay();
mainI++;
}
}
protected void fileReader() { // asks for file name for config file
System.out.println("Enter File Name Please");
Scanner cmdReader = null;
String cmdInput = null;
try {
cmdReader = new Scanner(System.in);
cmdInput = cmdReader.nextLine();
} catch (NoSuchElementException noSuchElement) {
noSuchElement.printStackTrace();
fileReader(); //throwing error here
}
//code removed
}
protected void startMenu() {// modified code from ATM lab (week2)
int selected = 0;
//code removed
Scanner climateScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Select a number 1-4");
selected = climateScanner.nextInt();
switch (selected) {
case 1: // semiarid
weatherType = 10; //10% chance to rain
climateScanner.close();
break;
case 2: // arid
weatherType = 20; //5% chance to rain
climateScanner.close();
break;
case 3:
weatherType = 50; //2% chance to rain
tropicalWeather = true;
climateScanner.close();
break;
case 4:
weatherType = 20;//5% chance to rain
storming = true;
climateScanner.close();
break;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid Input try again");
startMenu(); //using Recursion to ask for input again
break;
}
//code removed
}
}
you can't access that in this way. you have to initialize the class or make your method static. and also what is
GARDEN
??Ok now you are edited your code.
Again
