Nosuchelementexception with Java. Util. Scanner

I am very new to Java but am working through the book Java: How to program (9th ed.) and have reached an example where for the life of me I cannot figure out what the problem is.
Here is a (slightly) augmented version of the source code example in the textbook:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Addition {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// creates a scanner to obtain input from a command window
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int number1; // first number to add
int number2; // second number to add
int sum; // sum of 1 & 2
System.out.print("Enter First Integer: "); // prompt
number1 = input.nextInt(); // reads first number inputted by user
System.out.print("Enter Second Integer: "); // prompt 2
number2 = input.nextInt(); // reads second number from user
sum = number1 + number2; // addition takes place, then stores the total of the two numbers in sum
System.out.printf( "Sum is %d\n", sum ); // displays the sum on screen
} // end method main
} // end class Addition
I am getting the 'NoSuchElementException' error:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException
at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:838)
at java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1461)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2091)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2050)
at Addition.main(Addition.java:16)
Enter First Integer:
I understand that this is probably due to something in the source code that is incompatible with the Scanner class from java.util, but I really can't get any further than this in terms of deducing what the problem is.

NoSuchElementException Thrown by the nextElement method of an Enumeration to indicate that there are no more elements in the enumeration.
How about this :
if(input.hasNextInt() )
number1 = input.nextInt(); // if there is another number
else
number1 = 0; // nothing added in the input
You should use hasNextInt() before assigning value to variable.
NoSuchElementException will be thrown if no more tokens are available. This is caused by invoking nextInt() without checking if there's any integer available. To prevent it from happening, you may consider using hasNextInt() to check if any more tokens are available.
I faced this Error with nextDouble(), when I input numbers such as 5.3, 23.8 ... I think that was from my PC depending on computer settings that use Arabic (23,33 instead 23.33), I fixed it with add: Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in).useLocale(Locale.US);
You must add input.close() at the end...
This error is mostly occur in case of 0nline IDE's on which you are testing your code. It is not configured properly, as if you run the same code on any other IDE/Notepad it works properly because the online IDE is not designed such a way that it will adjust the input code of your format, So you have to take input as the Online IDE supports.
If I may, I solved this issue today by realizing that I had multiple functions that used an instance of a Scanner, each. So basically, try refactoring so that you have only one instance opened and then closed in the end - this should work.
Integer#nextInt throws NoSuchElementException - if input is exhausted
You should check if there is a next line with Integer#hasNextLine
if(sc.hasNextLine()){
number1=sc.nextInt();
}
