I cannot input string in the code for some reason.

Don't worry, it's not really your fault. You are roughly the one millionth person to be trapped by this stupidity in the design of the Scanner clsss.

Here's the explanation (it uses ints, but doubles work the same way).

You have some input with an int followed by some text, eg
101
John Doe
... and you try to read it with
int num = scanner.nextInt();
String name = scanner.nextLine();
... and name is an empty String ("")!

Here's why:
Your input looks like this with the new line characters shown explicitly
101\nJohn Doe\n
nextInt takes the int value from the scanner, and stops when it finds a chaacter that's not part of an int, so it takes the "101", leaving this in the scanner
"\nJohn Doe\n"
then nextLine takes everything up to the first \n character - a zero-length String ("").

Possible fixes:

1. Add add extra nextLine() between the nextInt and the real nextLine to clear the unwanted \n. This may be difficult if the nextInt and the nextLine are in different areas of code which are not always executed together.

2. Give up on nextInt (etc) and just read whole lines and parse then into ints (etc) with Integer.parseInt (etc) - in which case you can junk the whole scanner and use a BufferedReader instead.
   new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in))

3. Use this class instead of Scanner:
