Here's the method:

public static String CPUcolor () 
{ 
    System.out.println ("What color am I?") ; 
    String s = getIns() ; 
    System.out.println ("are you sure I'm "+s+"? (Y/N)") ; 
    String a = getIns() ; 
    while (!((a.equals ("y")) || (a.equals ("Y")) || (a.equals ("n")) || (a.equals ("N")))) 
        {
            System.out.println ("try again") ; 
            a = getIns () ; 
        } 
    if (a.equals ("n") || a.equals("N"))
        {CPUcolor() ;} 
    System.out.println ("I am "+s) ;
    return s ; 
}

here is a possible output of this method (y's and n's are user inputs):

What color am I?
red
are you sure I'm red? (Y/N)
N
What color am I?
blue
are you sure I'm blue? (Y/N)
N
What color am I?
Yellow
are you sure I'm Yellow? (Y/N)
y
I am Yellow
I am blue
I am red

Why is it that the line's "I am blue" and "I am Blue" printed? Why are they printed in reverse order with red, the first entered, printed last?
