How to implement an input in a loop

I wanted to create a loop where I can input my name using a Scanner, but the system keeps spamming "Gimme your name" and doesn't leave me the chance to input my name. I want the system to output "Gimme your name" and wait for my input.

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
char reponse = 'O';
name = sc.nextLine();
while (reponse=='O')

    System.out.println("Gimme your name! ");
    name = sc.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Hello "+name+"How are you doing ? \n Wanna retry ? (O/N)" );
    reponse = sc.nextLine().charAt(0);
Solution

  • Try putting open close brackets around the while statement: 

       char reponse = 'O';
    name = sc.nextLine();
    while (reponse=='O') {

        System.out.println("Gimme your name! ");
        name = sc.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Hello "+name+"How are you doing ? \n Wanna retry ? (O/N)" );
        reponse = sc.nextLine().charAt(0); ``` 

    }
