i was writing some code for a small project i'm working on and form somke reason, it never displays the main function. it just makes the user input 7 times before crashing. any ideas? i can't seem to locate my error.

package rtnasm;

/*
 * RTNASM - n64 assembler
 * 
 * problems - for some reason it's asking for input on start instead of using the main method.
 * idk how to fix it.
 */

}

your constants does not work the way u expect it to work. when u create an instance of your constants object it does not read any input. what you need to do is to ask the user for input from the main method after which u can call scanner.next(whatever)
