How do I start?

Beginner in Java... I've been staring at this problem for a while now and can't seem to figure it out. I've re-watched the video multiple times and can't seem to grasp the 'loop'. How would you start it, or do it, and why? Thanks in advance.

You'll want to begin by moving the "prompting code" into a do {...} while (...) loop. The syntax is:

 do {
     statement(s)
 } while (expression);

The reason for this exercise is to practice using loops. Also, remember to adjust your code to what the hint recommends.
