Hello, the first case it is asking you to meet is making sure that there are remaining tries, you can do this first making sure that the remaining tries is greater than 0.

So remainingTries > 0.

Next it is asking you to make sure that the other condition will pass as well, this looks like an excellent case for && operand. It will make sure both conditionals evaluate to true before moving onto the throw ball code.

Finally it is asking us to make sure that dunk tank has not already been dunked, remember that we can use ! to mean not. so !dunkTank.isDunked();

Over all it should look like this

while (remainingTries > 0 &&  !dunkTank.isDunked()) { 
throwBall(); 
}

Hope this helps. let me know if it doesn't.
