while loop with a decrementing counter

[Nepomuk]

hmm i am still having a problem
i still cannot input my string that is to be reversed.
and my loop appears to be infinite, i am not sure if that semi colon behind my while statement is correct but i got build errors without it
here is my entire main() function

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	
    	String line;
    	Boolean cont = false;
    	Boolean rev;
    	int length;
    	int i;
    	do
    	{
	    	System.out.println("Enter a line of text");
	    	line = console.nextLine();
	    	length = line.length();
	    	i=length - 1;
	    	rev = recRev(line, i);
	    	System.out.println("\n would you like to go again(y/n)");
	    	if(console.next().equals("y"))
	    		cont = true;
    	} while(cont);
    }

Output

Enter a line of text
asdf
fdsa
 would you like to go again(y/n)
y
Enter a line of text

 would you like to go again(y/n)
n
Enter a line of text

 would you like to go again(y/n)

and there is no pause for me to input text after the "Enter a line of text" line it just prints the " would you like to go again(y/n)"

Now, that will go infinitely. Do this:
[CODE=java]
do
{
System.out.prin tln("Enter a line of text");
line = console.nextLin e();
length = line.length();
i=length - 1;
rev = recRev(line, i);
System.out.prin tln("\n would you like to go again(y/n)");
cont = false; // You need this!!!
if(console.next ().equals("y"))
cont = true;
} while(cont);
[/CODE]otherwise, it will be set to true once and forever.

You said something about not being able to reverse your String? It seems to do that fine in your output, doesn't it?
