该作业要求输入三个按字母顺序输入的字符串(即字母和无数字),然后按字典顺序比较并画出中间的一个。
我在这里发现了类似的问题(Java:三个字符串,字典顺序),但无法评论添加我的问题。我排序(瞬间)如何正确返回输出,但现在代码没有给出任何输出,我不知道我做错了什么。

while (!in.hasNext("[A-Za-z]+"))

System.out.println("Please use only alphabetic values.");
System.out.println("Please enter a first word:");
in.nextLine(); // Captures the first word
}

System.out.println("Please enter a second word:");
