import java.util.Scanner;
public class ExamPractice {

	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	do{	
		Scanner keyboard=new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter a degrees farenheight");
double fahr=keyboard.nextDouble();
double  celc= 5/9.0 *(fahr-32);		
System.out.println("It is "+celc+"degrees celcius");
System.out.println("Would you like to try again?");
String answer=keyboard.next();	
	
	}while(answer.equalsIgnoreCase("yes")); 
	
	}

}

Can someone explain to me what is wrong with this code. The answer in the while condition is underlined error in my compiler. I feel like I'm making a dumb mistake, but I can't put my finger on it.
Thanks

In order for the do statement to test the field answer, you need to declare this variable outside of the loop. Like so:

String answer = "";
do{
   ..code here..
}while(answer.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes"));

[Overachiever]

You need to initialize the answer String outside of the do loop.

String answer = "";
do{
  // loop commands...
}while(answer.equals.IgnoreCase("Yes"));

Edit: Once again, beat by macosxnerd....

And no need to create a new Scanner object inside the loop
create just one before entering the loop
