Assistance with assignment question

Write a program that prompts the user for a value greater than 10 as an input (you should loop
until the user enters a valid value) and finds the square root of that number and the square root of
the result, and continues to find the square root of the result until we reach a number that is
smaller than 1.01. The program should output how many times the square root operation was
performed.

Below is all i managed to get so far.

import java.util.Scanner;

  public class SkrtProgram
	{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {


    	Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    	System.out.println("Lets find the sq root of a value greater than 10");
    	String garbage ="";

			while(true)
			{
				System.out.println("Enter a number a number greater than 10 ");

				if(scan.hasNextDouble()){
					double skrt = scan.nextDouble();

					if (skrt > 10){
						//input is good;
						System.out.println("output is " + skrt);
						break;
					}
				}
				garbage = scan.nextLine(); //throw out the line
			}//end first while loop




	}

And your question is what ?

Im only able to find the square of number greater than 10 i need another while loop for square root of the results and I can't figure out how to

" continues to find the square root of the result until we reach a number that is
smaller than 1.01. The program should output how many times the square root operation was
performed".

This is a C++ forum, kdotod78 - your code is in java and it doesn't appear to find the square root of anything.

You appear to be in the wrong place doing the wrong thing.
