/* 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:
String who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);
}
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====
while (who.equalsIgnoreCase ("banana") );

You have declared the variable who
twice. Remove the type declaration of String
from the line of code inside the do... while loop.
