I'm not sure how to incorporate the previous lesson into this challenge.....I thought I had a general understanding and was maybe missing a dash or semicolon or something here or there but now I feel i'm lost all together.
/* 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====
String who;
// 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? ");
do{
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);
} while (who.equalsIgnoringCase("banana"));
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====

Have a look at this thread to see if it helps.
I think you just need to split the declaration of who
and move its assignment into the loop.
Let me know if you need more.

to before: // Person A asks:

as it is declared as a String
twice.
