Java errors in Workspace

I'm playing with the code to get more familiar with the syntax to understand the connections better. As I finish goofing around and try to see the results of my work I am hit with error alerts to my last columns of code.

Code Console

Help me understand what's wrong.

Thank you

Hi Francis!

Could you please display your code? Maybe I can figure out what your error is then.

Thanks! :)

import java.io.Console;

public class Introductions {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
  String name = console.readLine("Hey.. Can you hear me... We don't have much time...\n  Tell me, what is your name?  ");
  String choice;
  boolean isInvalidWord;
  do {
    choice = console.readLine("%s... I see. Tell me something %s,\n Do you remember anything?  ", name, name);
    isInvalidWord = choice.equalsIgnoreCase("no");
      if (isInvalidWord) {
        console.printf("Hmmmmm... Are you sure you don't?\n\n");
      } while (isInvalidWord);
  }

} }

The problem has something to do with the brackets

If it has something to do with the brackets, here is the correct code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
    String name = console.readLine("Hey.. Can you hear me... We don't have much time...\n  Tell me, what is your name?  ");
    String choice;
    boolean isInvalidWord;
    do {
      choice = console.readLine("%s... I see. Tell me something %s,\n Do you remember anything?  ", name, name);
      isInvalidWord = choice.equalsIgnoreCase("no");
      if (isInvalidWord) {
        console.printf("Hmmmmm... Are you sure you don't?\n\n");
      }
    } while (isInvalidWord);
}

You forgot the close bracket for the do statement.

Hope this helps!

If this does not work please let me know.

Thanks!!! :)
