Solution

The next() and nextLine() methods are both part of the Scanner class in Java and are used to read input. However, they work a bit differently.

  1. next(): This method reads the input until it finds a space. It can't read two words separated by a space. Also, next() places the cursor in the same line after reading the input.

  2. nextLine(): This method reads input including space between the words (that is, it reads till the end of the line \n). Once the function reads a line, it positions the cursor in the next line.

So, the main difference is that next() can read input till it finds a space, and nextLine() can read input including space and place the cursor in the next line.
