Hello

The string "Exhausted" is printed on the standard error stream
	i.e. System.err.println("Exhausted");
while your printout use the standard output stream.
Printing on the two is not synchronized, so there you go.

As for the fix-up
1. the ugly way: print your messages on err, too (or even try to make
System.out and System.err point to the same thing)
2. the elegant(?) way: redirect one of the streams into a file.
// add '> file' (without quotes) to the command line to print whatever
comes out of the System.out in the file file.
// as for std err, use 2> for windows and >& otherwise
