Do While Loop cant get this one working

I cant figure out how to ask the question again because I cant redefine time as a string then integer again can I? The Loop gets to "what time is it now?" And continues to loop even if time is above 18

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();

  String name = console.readLine("Enter your name ");
      String food = console.readLine("Enter your favourite food ");
      String timeAsString = console.readLine("Enter the time ");
      int time = Integer.parseInt(timeAsString);

      if (time<18){
       console.printf("It is not dinner time yet\n"); 
      }
      do {
          timeAsString=console.readLine("What time is it now? \n");
      } while(time<18);
      console.printf("%s its time to eat %s its Dinner time!", name, food);

} 
}

Never mind i figured it out!

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();

  String name = console.readLine("Enter your name ");
  String food = console.readLine("Enter your favourite food ");
  int time;
    String timeAsString;
      do {
       timeAsString = console.readLine("Enter the time ");
       time = Integer.parseInt(timeAsString);
      if (time<18){
       console.printf("It is not dinner time yet\n"); 
      }
      } while(time<18);
      console.printf("%s its time to eat %s its Dinner time!", name, food);
