Hi there!

You have a few problems here:

  • Your variable is not declared correctly. Remember that String is a Java keyword and cannot be used as a variable name

  • You are printing to the console, but not reading in what the user enters. Reconsider your choice of console.printf.

  • Your do while loop has no while.

Give it another shot with these tips in mind! :sparkles:
