      System.out.print("Try again? (y/n)");
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
      again = input.next();
      Scanner = again;
}I'm unfamiliar with Scanner, but if it is what I think it is, this should do it.
All it does is make a while loop, and while again = "y", it will keep running the program and prompting them at the end to enter again once more
