Java implementation of Scanner close method

In the following program, a Scanner object closed and once it closed a System stream cannot be re-opened. Hence, after entered string, the control directly printed the default value of int n=0.

GD.java

import java.util.Scanner;
class GD
{
    public void action()
    {
        stringScanner();
        intScanner();
    }
    
    public void stringScanner()
    {
        String s="";
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter the string ");
        if(sc.hasNext())
        {
            s=sc.nextLine();
        }
        sc.close();
        System.out.println("\nString "+s);
    }
    
    public void intScanner()
    {
        int n=0;
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("\nEnter the number ");
        if(sc.hasNext())
        {
            n=sc.nextInt();
        }
        sc.close();
        System.out.println("\nNumber "+n);
    }
    
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        System.out.println("———————————————————————————————————————————");
        System.out.println("Java implementation of Scanner close method");
        System.out.println("———————————————————————————————————————————");
        GD g=new GD();
        g.stringScanner();
        g.intScanner();
        System.out.println("———————————————————————————————————————————");
    }
}

Output

godarda@gd:~$ javac GD.java
godarda@gd:~$ java GD

Enter the string GODARDA

String GODARDA

Enter the number 
Number 0

Example 2: Java implementation of Scanner close method

GD.java

import java.util.Scanner;
class GD
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String s="Hello, World!";
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(s);
        System.out.print(sc.nextLine());
        sc.close();
        System.out.println("\n\nScanner closed");     
    }
}

Output

godarda@gd:~$ javac GD.java
godarda@gd:~$ java GD
Hello, World!

Scanner closed
godarda@gd:~$
