/* So the age old knock knock joke goes like this:
Person A: Knock Knock.
Person B: Who's there?
Person A: Banana
Person B: Banana who?
...as long as Person A has answered Banana the above repeats endlessly
...assuming the person answers Orange we'd see
Person B: Orange who?
...and then the punchline.
Person A: Orange you glad I didn't say Banana again?
(It's a really bad joke that makes it sound like "Aren't you glad I didn't say Banana again?")
Let's just assume the only two words passed in from the console from Person B are either banana or orange.
*/
// ====BEGIN PROMPTING CODE====
// Person A asks:
console.printf("Knock Knock.\n");
// Person B asks and Person A's response is stored in the String who:
String who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====

What they're asking you to is put the entire joke in a while loop while loop until who equals "banana" so until the user passes banana, they'll keep it repeating, I see you have if and else statements in your code, really all you need is to wrap the 3 lines in a do while loop, and make it run until the condition where who is equal to banana.
it would look something like below.
String who;
do {
console.printf("Knock Knock.");
who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
console.printf("%s who?", who);
} while (who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana"));
Let me know if this doesnt help.
