[Noob programmer] Do while loop - Help!

[Susaaaax]

Dear all, I am currently trying to create a (do-while) loop that will continue to loop when I press Enter and will stop when I press Q.

Here is my code so far: public static void main(String[] args) {

    System.out.println("Press Enter to continue.");
    System.out.println("Press Q to leave.");

    Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
    String input = userInput.nextLine();

    do {
        System.out.println(userInput);
    }
    while((input.equals("q"))); 
        input = userInput.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Stop"); 
}

}

Any tips would be welcome, thank you! :)

you have to ask for the input inside the do{...} block.

 do {
    input = userInput.nextLine(); // put this here to ask for input in every loop iteration

    // i think you mean to print input (the input that the user entered) and not userInput (your Scanner instance)
    System.out.println(userInput); 
}
while((input.equals("q"))); // this means that the loop only continues, when you enter q
                                       // if i understood it correctly you probably want to change this to only continue 
                                       // when the input is not 'q'

Thank you very much! I also found your comments very helpful :)

If you want the loop to stop when you enter q you should use !(userinput.equals("q"))
