@Zawe nextLine() returns a string. So, if you want to use it for an int, it will need to be casted. (And likely surrounded with try-catch). try { int input = Integer.parseInt(scanner.nextLine()); } catch (InputMisMatchException e){ System.out println("Error."); } There's really no point in doing this though. nextInt() already does this, without issues. (Such as spaces)

//importing Scanner// import java.util.Scanner; //Creating a scanner object// Scanner scn = new Scanner(System.in); //String and int declaration// String y; int i; //initializing String & int variable to scanner// y= scn.nextLine(); i = scn.nextInt(); //print// System.out.println(y); System.out.println(i); if you ran this code you will get an input screen the first line will be for String variable "y" and the next line will be int variable "i" . remeber a String uses nextLine() method whilst int uses nextInt() method.
