Hi,
i have a program that takes in input from the user as a string. To get this i am using string = scan.next().

It works fine until i place a space in the string. I get an error. I dont think i have ever had this problem before but i will post the code jsut in case you need it.


import java.util.Scanner;
class Project8Driver
{
static int age, id;
static double gpa;
static String schoolName, name;
static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
static int userChoice = 1;
static int counter = 0;
static Student[] ListOfStudents = new Student[20];
final static int LIMIT = 14;
static int ap, pTime;
static String major, minor;
static boolean time;
public static void main(String[]args)
{
while (userChoice != 0)
{
menu();
userChoice = scan.nextInt();
menuSwitch(userChoice);
}

}

int num;

}

}

here are the errors i am getting

Please enter your name: John Smith
Please enter your age: Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException

Any clue why it is doing this?
