In IntelliJ IDEA, while taking input in an array from console, character of enter key is accepted as an element

Question

I was seeing an example of linear search in an array in Java, and I wrote this code:

import java.util.*;
public class LinearSearch
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter no. of members: ");
        int l=sc.nextInt();
        String[] list=new String[l];
        System.out.println("Enter the members: ");
        for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
            list[i]=sc.nextLine();
        System.out.print("\nEnter the member you want to search for: ");
        String ts=sc.nextLine();
        for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
        {
            if(list[i].equalsIgnoreCase(ts))
            {
                System.out.println("The member is at index " + i);
                break;
            }
            if(i==l-1)
                System.out.println("There is no such member");
        }
    }
}

But while running this code, due to the System.out.println() at the 10th line, the carriage return (of the println() ) is taken as the element at index 0. Further, as I enter more elements, after each element I need to press Enter key to start the next iteration, but with that, the carriage return of the Enter key is taken as input too. This is the output:

Enter no. of members: 5
Enter the members: 
a
b
c

Enter the member you want to search for: e
There is no such member

I did the following to prevent it:

System.out.println("Enter the members: ");
int j=0;
String in="";
while(list[l-1]==null)
{
    in=sc.nextLine();
    if(in.equals(String.valueOf((char)10))) //10 being the ASCII code of carriage return
        continue;
    else
    {
        list[j] = in;
        j++;
    }
}

But this doesn't work, it still takes carriage return as an element. Is there any way to fix this issue ?
