if(ans.equalsIgnoreCase('y')) I am getting a char cannot be deferrenced
how do I get this to work properly and how do i fix these codes.
can u tell me what is wrong with my codes and them. what do i have to do to get to say if the players chose to say yes to continue, how do get to write the code properly without getting the char cannot be deferenced, i tried it every way possible
