Scanner input reading multiple lines of code at once, throws IntputMismatchException

Question

Okay so, I have this piece of code:

if (type == 1){
            System.out.println("Agency name: ");
            agencyName = in.nextLine();


            System.out.println("No. of days: ");
            days = in.nextInt();


            Patuvanje p = new PraznicnoPatuvanje (agencyName, 20, days);
            nizaPatuvanje[i] = p;
        }

The scanner is reading 'agencyName' and 'days' without me trying to input the agencyName at first. What code should I add so that the compiler would wait until I initialize the agencyName variable, and then let me assign the 'days' variable.

This is how it looks like in the Console:

write an `in.nextLine();` after `agencyName = in.nextLine();` — Mohsen_Fatemi, Oct 07 '16 at 07:56

In the code preceding this, you are reading the number of vacations

After doing this you are pressing Enter This needs to be consumed too.

Change your code to

in.nextLine (); // comse previouslt entered `Enter`
System.out.println("Agency name: ");
agencyName = in.nextLine();

   if (type == 1){
                    System.out.println("Agency name: ");
                    agencyName = in.nextLine();
                    in.nextLine();

                    System.out.println("No. of days: ");
                    days = in.nextInt();



                    Patuvanje p = new PraznicnoPatuvanje (agencyName, 20, days);
                    nizaPatuvanje[i] = p;
