Do another? Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at AddGuests.main(AddGuests.java:41)

[alienA2 19]

Hi I am getting this error. I do not know why. I suspect it has something to do with the do while loop, where it mentions (myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0) == 'Y'); . Please advice. error:Do another? Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at AddGuests.main(AddGuests.java:41) code: /*Do another? Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at AddGuests.main(AddGuests.java:41)*/import java.util.Scanner;import static java.lang.System.in;import static java.lang.System.out;class AddGuests{ public static void main(String args[]) { //Variable declarations Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(in); int whichRoom, numGuests; int guestsIn[]; guestsIn = new int[10]; //The for loop is assigning zero to the guestsIn variable with the array value as the room number... for (int roomNum = 0; roomNum < 10; roomNum++) { guestsIn[roomNum] = 0; } do { out.print("Room number: "); whichRoom = myScanner.nextInt(); out.print("How many guests? "); numGuests = myScanner.nextInt(); guestsIn[whichRoom] = numGuests; out.println(); out.print("Do another? "); //do this while the myscanner variable reads input from user to be Y) } while (myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0) == 'Y'); //heading to make it look pretty... out.println(); out.println("Room\tGuests"); for (int roomNum = 0; roomNum < 10; roomNum++) { out.print(roomNum); out.print("\t"); out.println(guestsIn[roomNum]); } }}

Me again. Modified the code...it seems to work but your opinions are appreciated: /*Do another? Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at AddGuests.main(AddGuests.java:41)*/import java.util.Scanner;import static java.lang.System.in;import static java.lang.System.out;import java.io.File;import java.io.FileNotFoundException;import java.io.PrintStream;class AddGuests{ public static void main(String args[]) throws FileNotFoundException { //Variable declarations Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(in); PrintStream w2d = new PrintStream("GuestList_Report.xls"); int whichRoom, numGuests; int guestsIn[]; char antwoord; guestsIn = new int[10]; //The for loop is assigning zero to the guestsIn variable with the array value as the room number... for (int roomNum = 0; roomNum < 10; roomNum++) { guestsIn[roomNum] = 0; } do { out.print("Room number: "); whichRoom = myScanner.nextInt(); out.print("How many guests?

do {   out.print("Room number: ");   whichRoom = myScanner.nextInt();    out.print("How many guests?

 do {   out.print("Room number: ");   whichRoom = myScanner.nextInt();    out.print("How many guests?

 do {   out.print("Room number: ");   whichRoom = myScanner.nextInt();    out.print("How many guests?

Why } while (!"Y".equals(myScanner.next().toUpperCase()));Why is the ! character added to the code???

! means NOT like !0 = 1 so if "Y".equals(myScanner.next().toUpperCase()) returns true then the condition in 'while' still be false and the loop continues
