Why is the first element of the array empty?

Question

Java

There is a code in which I write objects to a file in three ways and then in another class I get them from the file

public class WriteObject
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
        // first
        Person person1 = new Person(1, "Mike");
        Person person2 = new Person(2, "Bobe");

        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("people.bin");
        ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);

        oos.writeObject(person1);
        oos.writeObject(person2);

        oos.close();

        // Second
        Person[] people = new Person[3];
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        String name;

        for(int i = 0; i < people.length; ++i)
        {
            name = scanner.nextLine();
            people[i]= new Person(i + 1, name);
        }

        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("person.bin");
        ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOutputStream);

        objectOutputStream.writeInt(people.length);

        for(Person person : people)
        {
            objectOutputStream.writeObject(person);
        }

        objectOutputStream.close();

        // Third
        System.out.println("Enter len of third ");
        int lenOfThird = scanner.nextInt(); // 47

        Person[] thirdTimes = new Person[lenOfThird];

        for(int i = 0; i < lenOfThird; ++i)
        {
            name = scanner.nextLine();
            thirdTimes[i]= new Person(i + 1, name);
        }

        FileOutputStream fileOutputStreamOfThird = new FileOutputStream("third.bin");
        ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStreamOfThird = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOutputStreamOfThird);

        objectOutputStreamOfThird.writeObject(thirdTimes);

        objectOutputStreamOfThird.close();
        scanner.close();
    }
}

The problem is that when I create a third array and start filling it from the console, it leaves the first element empty
, let's say the dimension is [2] , then it gives only one name to enter and exits and this name is assigned to the second object. Tried closing the old Scanner class object and opening a new one before executing Third , but then it doesn't even want to read the dimension and throws an error on line 47 (flagged)

Answer 1

and

name = scanner.nextLine();
 for(int i = 0; i < lenOfThird; ++i)
        {
            name = scanner.nextLine();
            thirdTimes[i]= new Person(i + 1, name);
        }

It works as it should
, although it would be more logical (if you already insert this line before the loop) then put it in the loop after creating a new object, but it doesn’t work like that
