this code is not taking input for gender and directly taking the last input for city

Question

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main { 
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter your name");
        String n=sc.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Enter your age");
        int age=sc.nextInt();

        System.out.println("Enter your gender");
        String g=sc.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Hailing From");
        String c=sc.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Welcome, " +n+ "!");
        System.out.println("Age:" +age);
        System.out.println("Gender:" +g);
        System.out.println("City:" +c);
    }
}

The code is not taking input for gender. Don't know what's wrong in the code?

When you get nextInt, you still need to go to the end of the line. Try the following:

import java.util.Scanner; public class Main {

public static void main(String [] args)      {
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter your name");
String n=sc.nextLine();

System.out.println("Enter your age");
int age=sc.nextInt();
    sc.nextLine();   //YOU NEED TO ADD THIS LINE!

System.out.println("Enter your gender");
String g=sc.nextLine();

System.out.println("Hailing From");
String c=sc.nextLine();

System.out.println("Welcome, " +n+ "!");
System.out.println("Age:" +age);
System.out.println("Gender:" +g);
System.out.println("City:" +c);
}}

this code is not taking input for gender and directly taking the last input for city
