What is wrong with my code?

I don't understand the error in my code... What is the problem when it asks "Did you put the prompting code in a do while block that is checking to see if 'who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana");?

console.printf("Knock Knock.\n");

who = console.readLine("Who's there? ");

console.printf("%s who?\n", who);

} while(who.equalsIgnoreCase("banana"));
