Java-Can't take two inputs using Scanner

Could someone please check whats wrong with the following code? It throws an exception as follows when i try to run it import java.util.Scanner; class myClass{ public static void main(String[]args){ String name; int age; Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("What is your name? "); name = in.nextLine(); System.out.println("What is your age? "); age = in.nextInt(); System.out.printf("Hello %s, age %d\n", name, age); } } (What is your name? What is your age? Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Unknown Source) at java.util.Scanner.next(Unknown Source) at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source) at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source) at name.main(name.java:23))

you can input multiple choices by splitting them into two lines. Like for eg., First input (your name) and on the next line... Second input (your age). /* According to your code, you can't input only your name. Your age should be on the next Line while inputting your name */

@SumiandDave : No, that doesn't work here! You cannot pop-up another input window once it's closed. It's a missing feature in Sololearn's code playground.

@Suminand Dave You will need to alter it to make it accept input in separate lines.

Dayve, Tried it but it doesn't work.,same exception again..The problem is that it doesn't ask for the second input 'age' System.out.println("What is your name? "); name = in.nextLine(); System.out.printf("Hello %s,", name); System.out.println("What is your age? "); age = in.nextInt(); System.out.printf(" age %d\n",age); (What is your name? Hello david,What is your age? Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException)

Hey Guys, I'm running it in the Code playground of solo learn and It looks like it's an environmental issue rather than anything to do with the source code. thanks for trying to help anyway
