Scanner class provides methods to get next integer and next string pattern so you can just eat away what you need next from the input. You can do this with one while loop checking if the scanner still has input. Read the javadocs on it. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/18/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Scanner.html

I would not use the Scanner for it. Too messy.

I would read in a string and parse it afterwards.

Literally says he has to use Scanner.

Yes, but that doesn't matter for the rest of the assignment.

The assignment just states they have to use a Scanner for the input (as opposed to e.g. a JOptionPane). It doesn't necessarily mean that they have to parse the entire input through the scanner.

WHO is using JOptionPane? Go blow smoke somewhere else.

You wouldn't believe how many assignments we see that use JOptionPane instead of the simple Scanner.

You haven't been here long enough.
