        String s2 = sc.nextLine();  // .nextLine() takes first line of characters with whitespaces
        // though if .next() was called right before it, .nextLine() doesn't get called (check line 16)

}
// That's because the .next() method does not read the newline character in your input created by
// hitting "Enter", and so the call to .nextLine() returns after reading that newline
// workaround: place a .nextLine() after every next() method to consume the nextline thrown in after pressing "Enter"
