Seems like you just need to insert the ">" for the comparison and a ")" and a "{" to close the comparison and open the loop code...but that doesn't work.
What's needed to correctly answer this question?

while (remainingTries > 0 && !dunkTank.isDunked()) {
The window scrolls to the right which makes it all so much clearer!! The massive underlines need reducing in length to make that easier to see.

18,813 PointsThere is no scrollbar for me so I had no idea...I saw nothing after the last blank.
Thanks for your help - it was much easier to answer after I saw the full question!

57,712 PointsHi J.D.
I agree, this isn't very clear at all. I've not done this course so am unaware of any context behind the question.
But, while I agree with your suggestion of adding the symbols you suggest, that leaves the dunkTank.isDunked bit out on a limb and with no trailing semicolon.
I'd love to know the answer to this!
Steve.

18,813 PointsI realized that we also need to decrement
remainingTries.However, "
>", ") {", andremainingTries--;still doesn't work...
