not understanding the do while loop... trying to get the knock knock joke to work..
/* 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?
...This repeats until Person A answers Orange
Person A: Orange
Person B: Orange who?
Person A: Orange you glad I didn't say Banana again?
*/
//Here is the prompting code
console.printf("Knock Knock.\n");
Sting who;
boolean isInvalidWord;
do {
who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
isInvalidWord = (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("banana");
if (inInvalidWord) {
console.printf("%s who?\n" , who);
}
} while((who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana")
console.printf("%s who?\n" , who);
}
}
