We want to move that prompting code into a do while loop. Wrap the code into a do while code block and check in the while condition to see if who is "banana" so that the loop continues
/* 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;
do {
String who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);}
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====

2,964 PointsSorry for leaving that as an answer, rather than a comment. I'm still getting used to this. Jonathon posted an answer on my thread that might be of help to you:
*After where the comment reads "Begin prompting code", put do{
It will say "knock, knock", "who's there" prompt, use the prompt to say "(prompt) who." Then it needs to repeat. Before "end prompting code", put your }while(who=="banana")*
