411 PointsKnock Knock is driving me banannas
Newbie here. I cannot figure out what is wrong with this code. There are no errors, but it is still screaming "bummer". More specifically asking if I have a do while block on my who.equalsIgnoreCase ("bananna")?
/* 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;
boolean wrongAnswer;
do{
who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
wrongAnswer = (who.equalsIgnoreCase ("bannana"));
if (wrongAnswer); {
console.printf (who);
}
}
while (wrongAnswer);
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);
console.printf ("Orange you glad I didn't say bananna?");
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====

You have a typo "bannana". It should be "banana".
