Hello,

I'm trying to make the code repeat itself after the user types "NO" for the question "type yes if you are happy with your vote". I understand I have to make a while() loop to make this possible but I can't figure it out.

below I paste VoteRecorder file and the VoteRecorderDEMO file

private int myVoteForPresident, myVoteForVicePresident;
