Answer 1

I would not recommend creating several different scanners on System.in. I would recommend you create just ONE scanner, and use it throughout your code.



It's possible that your scanner is getting tripped up by characters that other scanners have already read.

Answer 2

I have successfully run your code on all options. All i did was add a '}' at the very end. I have to agree with the other person that having that many System.in Scanners may be the cause of your problem, the code may behave differently on different hardware, which would explain while all three options take me through all of your code. Email me if I can help further.

Why roll your man or woman whilst there is in all probability a calendar widget you could reuse? via how, the Java API itself supplies many functional instructions and interfaces: Date, Calendar, GregorianCalendar, DateFormat, and SimpleDateFormat.
