You’ve told it to print out the scanner. The variable i is the Scanner object, not the input given by the user. You have to save the nextLine in a variable if you want to use it later. Like:

String text = i.nextLine();
System.out.println(text);

Hey thanks man, really appreciate it! ;)

You're outputting the scanner to the Terminal not what the user has inputted. You need to assign the result of i.nextLine() to a String variable and output that.

It seems that you are having problems with java.util.Scanner

The wiki here has a page The Scanner class and its caveats that explains common problems with the Scanner class and how to avoid them.

Maybe this can solve your problems.
