Why don't you think it's working? What input are you giving it and what output do you get?

It's not a good idea generally to leave out braces, and especially if you're just starting out. Proper indentation is essential also.

What output do you expect? ... And where in the code, do you expect this output to be produced?

Proper indentation would have shown the error in that loop, too.

Looking solely to this expression it looks nonsensical. As an analog, the question could be, "Carolin are you Carolin"?
That demonstrates how classes and variables naming (naming overall) are critical to system's clarity. It is easy enough to make program look puzzling and nonsensical.

An hour ago, I wrote:. . . .  error in that loop, too.

Maybe there isn't an error. It goes to show how important code formatting is.
