`public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

       while (sc.hasNext()) {

           if (sc.next().equals("exit")){
               System.out.println("EXITING");
               System.exit(0);
           }  else {
               System.out.println("IM STILL WORKING ok?");
           }

        }

}

}`

So here is a piece of code i was writing the other day to try and figure sth out (doesn't really matter what). The result of executing this code is :

eIM STILL WORKING ok?

eIM STILL WORKING ok?

exit

IM STILL WORKING ok?

exit

EXITING

Can somebody kindly explain why this has happened?
