Solution

The answer in the docs:

Throws: NoSuchElementException - if no line was found IllegalStateException - if this scanner is closed

Tip for easier and safer life: Always refer to the docs.

Problem

Would there ever be a case where an exception could be thrown by assigning the value of `input.nextLine()` to a `String` variable with the `Scanner`? Like if you put ``` String foo = input.nextInt(); ``` You would get an `InputMismatchException`. So what I'm wondering is if there's any possible way to get an exception from: ``` String foo = input.nextLine(); ``` It might be a dumb question but I need to be absolutely sure. Thanks in advance!
