I'm stuck on the 2nd objective of the Code Challenge!

I'm trying to print out the punchline for a code but it won't go through. how can I stop the loop and let it print out the punchline? the objective says "Print out the punchline using the who variable"

console.printf("Knock Knock.\n"); String who; Boolean bananaYes; // Person B asks and Person A's response is stored in the do { who = console.readLine("Who's there? "); bananaYes = (who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana")|| who.equalsIgnoreCase("Orange")); if (bananaYes) { // Person B responds: console.printf("%s who?\n", who); } }while (bananaYes)

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

bananaYes = (who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana")|| who.equalsIgnoreCase("Orange"));

Here is your bug. This variable should only be checking if who is equal to "banana". Checking for both will keep you inside the do-while loop as long as you get banana or orange, you only want to stay inside the loop while who is banana.
