Why is first for loop iteration skipped?

Question

my code is yielding an unexpected result. It seems my for loop skips the first iteration and I don\'t understand why.

public static void main(String[] args) {

         


        

Answer 1

What worked for me was instantiating a new Scanner in each iteration:

for(int i = 0; i < number; i++)
{
    System.out.println("Enter family member name: ");

    Scanner loopGet = new Scanner(System.in);
    family_name = loopGet.nextLine();
    family_array[i] = family_name;
}
