Exception in thread main java.lang.NullPointerException
The complete error is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

I get the above error when I run the following program. It compiles fine.
/* Chapter 2 Sample Program: Displays the Monogram
File: Step1/Ch2Monogram.java
*/
import java.util.*;
class Ch2Monogram {
public static void main (String[] args) {
String name;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
scanner.useDelimiter(System.getProperty("line.seperator"));
name = scanner.next();
System.out.println("Name Entered: " + name);
}
}
What is the problem?
