Answer 1

You are entering a null value to nextInt, it will fail if you give a null value...

i have added a null check to the piece of code

Try this code:

import java.util.Scanner;
class MyClass
{
     public static void main(String args[]){

                Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
                int eid,sid;
                String ename;
                System.out.println("Enter Employeeid:");
                     eid=(scanner.nextInt());
                System.out.println("Enter EmployeeName:");
                     ename=(scanner.next());
                System.out.println("Enter SupervisiorId:");
                    if(scanner.nextLine()!=null&&scanner.nextLine()!=""){//null check
                     sid=scanner.nextInt();
                     }//null check
        }
}
