I am currently stuck in a challenge.it tells me that I forgot to call console.printf with a format string of “%s you glad..”.But I did it here’s my 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: who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
// Person B responds: console.printf("%s who?\n", who); } while (who == "banana");
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ==== console.printf("%s is there", who);
/* 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:
who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");
// Person B responds:
console.printf("%s who?\n", who);
} while (who == "banana");
// ==== END PROMPTING CODE ====
console.printf("%s", who);

console.printf("%s", who);
It sounds like they are looking for something like:
console.printf("%s you glad ...", who);
i.e. the punchline of the joke.
