change int name to string name and use sc.nextLine()

import java.util.Scanner;

public class hello {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String name;

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter your name");


        name = sc.nextLine(); 

         sc.close();

         System.out.println("Your name"+name);


    }
}

You need to change your type value name from int to String. And replace sc.nextInt() by sc.nextLine() or sc.next().

Example 

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String name;

    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter your name");


    name = sc.nextLine();

    sc.close();

    System.out.println("Your name " + name);

}

name = sc.nextInt(); doesn't work for strings, only for integers, you should use sc.nextline instead. And also you have to change int name to String name, due to other type of variable.

Your code should look like this:

 import java.util.Scanner;

public class hello {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String name;

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter your name");


        name = sc.nextLine(); 

         sc.close();

         System.out.println("Your name"+name);


    }
}

Use sc.nextLine() for reading string inputs or sc.next() (But this will read only a word before it encounters a space)

You can also use InputStreamReader for this purpose

eg.

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in()));

String input = br.readLine();
