Need help with riddles prog

[ImortalSorrow]

Hey, I hope you can help me with a prog i'm making. Everything is working well except a part where i want to repeat the riddle if the answer isnt correct. here's the bit of the bode where i need help

     
System.out.println("Riddle:blablabla");
    riddleanswer = scanner.nextLine();
    
    if (riddleanswer.equals("2") || riddleanswer.equals("two")) {    	
    	    System.out.println("Great!");
    } else {
    	System.out.println("Upss..");

well this way it would just finish the code once you get the wrong answer, but i need 2 repeat the riddle 2 be able 2 try again.

Thanks

ohh i get it, but can you help me with the code? im noob in programming so i dont exactly know what to put in the brackets you made. in this case what should i exactly do? should i erase the "if" and the "else" and do other code?

A hint: your lines 1 and 2 should go between those curly brackets. The condition
in your if statement should go between the parentheses.

kind regards,

First, please don't create multiple threads on the same problem, as it spreads out answers among the threads, leading to confusion both among our experts and at your end.

Second, this is a message board and it's a Saturday afternoon in the States, where I believe many of our users live. Message boards are by definition slower than, say, a chatroom. Also, because it is a weekend, people likely to be off having fun or doing errands rather than online.

To answer your question, look into while loops here .
