Error description
Error Message: The java.util.Scanner class has a public API method called findHorizon(String pattern, int horizon). This method is expected to find the next occurrence of a pattern in the source associated with a scanner. When the source is System.in, the method is expected to return as soon as an occurrence of the pattern occurs on the standard input. In Java 6, this method waits for "horizon" characters to appear on the standard input before returning the first occurrence of the pattern. . Stack Trace: .
