I can't seem to get the second part of this to work and the "preview" button doesn't work, compiler errors not showing. Here is 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.equalsIgnoreCase("banana"));

    console.printf("Orange you glad I didn't say Banana again?");

Sorry, I gave this a second look. It looks like how you are formatting the sentence after the while block. Be sure to format it like below, using %s in the place of the variable.

console.printf("%s you glad I didn't say Banana again?", who);

Let me know if this helps.
