You didn't say what you expected, so debugging becomes very difficult. However I do notice at the end of the code that you compare two strings using == and !=. This does not work. If you want to see if two strings have the same content, use the equals() method of the String class. In your case:}while((!response.equals("y"))&&(!response.equals("n")));
}while(response.equals("y");
