Scanner keeps skipping input whist using nextInt() and loops

Question

I am using a while loop to make sure that the value entered to a scanner object is an integer as such:

while (!capacityCheck) {
        try {
            Sys         


        

Answer 1

Try putting this at the end of the loop -

scan.nextLine();

Or better to put it in the catch block.

    while (!capacityCheck) {
        try {
            System.out.println("Capacity");
            capacity = scan.nextInt();
            capacityCheck = true;
        } catch (InputMismatchException e) {
            System.out.println("Capacity must be an integer");
            scan.nextLine();
        }
    }
