What's wrong with my while loop syntax from quiz?

What's wrong with my "fill in the blank" syntax for the quiz for the while loop?

while(remainigTries > 0) {

throwBall();

}

I entered the '>', ')', and '{'. I also tried '!=' instead of the '>'.

The fill-in example I see doesn't look like the one you have written. I see this 

while (remainingTries ______ 0 _______  _________  dunkTank.isDunked()) {
  throwBall();
}

which fill-in-the-blank are you trying to solve? Can you post the full question of the fill-in-the-blank, you are trying to solve?

Gloria - that is the exact question I'm trying to solve. I put a > sign before the zero, then closed the bracket & opened a curly brace.

I also tried adding (&& !isSolved()) to the condition but that didn't work either.

I suggest you have a look at this similar question, it has thorough explanation on this challenge: fill the blank java object.

Maybe try this:

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

Thanks everyone. Here was my problem: I'm using this on my iPad but I'm not using the app because it keeps crashing on me. I never saw the remaining condition on my screen (the part that says "DunkTank.isDunked()){" . I thought I was losing my mind! I guess from now on I'll check on my computer whenever I get a fill-in the blanks, since my display is obviously off.

Thanks for all your prompt help.
