Java Scanner gets integer input second time

I should check if the input value equals ‘end’ or a number..

I tried this but it reads integer value only second time I enter.

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

    while (play){
       int answer = ask();

        if (scan.next().equals("end")){
            System.out.println("ended");
            play = false;
        } else if (scan.hasNextInt())
        {
            int number = scan.nextInt();
            if (number == answer){...

>Solution :

This happens because scan.next() is taking the value to check if it’s equals to "end", so the second condition fails because there’s no next value (until there is).
You can fix the problem by swapping the conditions:

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

    while (play){
       int answer = ask();

        if (scan.hasNextInt()) {
            int number = scan.nextInt();
            if (number == answer) System.out.println("correct");
        } else if (scan.next().equals("end")){
            System.out.println("ended");
            play = false;
        } 
    }
