1,032 PointsError in my code that I cannot find.
I am experiencing an issue with my code. I am continuously being told prompted with did you place the prompting code in a do while block checking to see if who.equalsIgnoreCase(" banana") I am doing this as you can see in my code attached, but I may be doing it wrong.
/* 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;
do{
// Person A asks:
console.printf("Knock Knock.\n");
// Person B asks and Person A's response is stored in the String who:
who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
if(who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana"))
{
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);
}
}
while(who.equalsIgnoreCase("orange"));
console.printf("orange you glad I didn't say banana?");
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====
