Question

thanks for reading this. I’m creating just a simple, generic version of blackjack using java. Everything else works completely fine, except when it asks you “hit or pass” and you type pass, you must type it twice for it to reconize it, and I cant seem to find out why. Heres my code on pastebin to make it easier to read: http://pastebin.com/GF7Rzusx

Relevant code from pastebin:

  public void ask()
    {
        System.out.println("Hit or Pass?");
        if (in.next().equalsIgnoreCase("Hit"))
        {
            hit();
        }
        if (in.next().equalsIgnoreCase("Pass"))
        {
            pass();
        }
    }

If the entered word is "Pass" it is read from standard input and then lost, it is not stored. It must be stored for it to be available again in the subsequent check:

String input = in.next();

if (input.equalsIgnoreCase("Hit"))
{
    hit();
}
else if (input.equalsIgnoreCase("Pass"))
{
    pass();
}
