You can copy the program below to test it.
import java.util.Scanner; public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); String [] item = new String[2]; int [] num = new int[2]; for(int i=0; i<2; i++) { System.out.println("Which item are you shopping for?"); item[i] = input.nextLine(); System.out.printf("How many \"%s\" do you need?\n", item[i]); num[i] = input.nextInt(); input.nextLine(); //Flush the "END OF LINE" symbol out } System.out.printf("%15s%10s\n", "Item", "Quantity"); for(int i=0; i<2; i++) { System.out.printf("%15s%10d\n",item[i],num[i]); } } }
