813 Pointsdo while loop
Confused about what is supposed to go after the while} and am i supposed to write the whole joke. At line 28 it says end prompting code
/* 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====
do {// 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 ====

Treehouse TeacherYes, the punch line is expected to be written out:
/*
...and then the punchline.
Person A: Orange you glad I didn't say Banana again?
*/

11,454 PointsI am not sure if I understand the joke, but maybe the solution is to add this line
} while(personA_answer == "Banana")
also need to fill 'personA_answer ' from console
