1)First of all, if you get input through for example a Scanner, nextLine and next return a String, whatever you enter. If you input 73, it would be handled as String ("73"). So you can use hasNextLine () or hasNext (), if it's true you're able to get a String. 2)If you input this: A line filled with words .next () would give you "A", .nextLine() the whole line.
