Courses Plus Student 440 PointsIs it normal to forget methods we've learned so far?
Is it normal for someone to forget methods when doing a challenge? I couldn't remember ".equalsIgnoreCase" and kept typing == until I went back to the previous video.
/* 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 {
who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
} while (who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana"));
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====
