exception in thread main java util nosuchelementexception scanner

handling `nosuchelementexception` in java's `scanner` class

when using the `scanner` class in java to read input from various sources (like user input from the console), one common exception that you may encounter is `nosuchelementexception`. this exception occurs when the `scanner` tries to read input but there is no available input to read.

this tutorial will cover:

1. **understanding `nosuchelementexception`**
2. **common scenarios where it occurs**
3. **example code demonstrating the exception**
4. **best practices for handling the exception**

1. understanding `nosuchelementexception`

- you try to read input after the end of the input stream.
- you call methods like `nextint()`, `nextline()`, etc., without checking if there is more input available.

2. common scenarios where it occurs

here are a few scenarios that can lead to a `nosuchelementexception`:

- reading from an empty input stream.
- calling a `scanner` method without checking for available input using `hasnext()`, `hasnextline()`, etc.
- closing the `scanner` prematurely or mistakenly trying to read from a closed `scanner`.

3. example code demonstrating the exception

here’s a simple example that demonstrates how `nosuchelementexception` can occur:

4. best practices for handling the exception

to effectively handle `nosuchelementexception`, follow these best practices:

- **always check for input:** before calling methods like `next()`, `nextint()`, etc., check if there is input available using `hasnext()` or `hasnextint()`.



- **use try-catch blocks:** wrap your input reading code in try-catch blocks to handle exceptions gracefully.

- **close the scanner properly:** always close the `scanner` in a `finally` block or use a try-with-resources statement to ensure it gets closed automatically.
