I am attempting to use the Scanner class to read several inputs from the user. The inputs are each separated by a single space and should be on one line.
At first, I tried simply getting rest of the line immediately after the prompt:
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter inputs: ");
String input = scan.next();
System.out.println(input);
However, when I enter (for example) "5 6 7", only 5 is output. This is expected, because tokens in a scanner are demarcated by spaces by default. But when I try
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.print("Enter inputs: ");
String input = "";
while (scan.hasNext)
input += scan.next();
it enters into a loop where no matter what I enter, whether it be numerical, alphabetical, or new lines, it continues to take input instead of moving on. I don't understand why it's doing this, as it seems no different from the countless examples I found online.
Utlimately, my question is, how do you stop the hasNext() loop?
Edit: To clarify, it should only take numeric input, so I can't take another phrase like "exit".
