First, you can continue your progress just by setting this course aside and starting the next one in your track (or of your choice from the library). After some additional course work, you can always return and finish this quiz later.

But it looks like you've passed task 1. Here are some hints for task 2:

  • to "continually prompt", the readLine will need to be inside the loop
  • only the variable declaration will be before the loop
  • when comparing a literal with a string variable, the literal value must be enclosed in quotes (like: "No")
  • remember to use the "Preview" button to get more details about compiler errors
