String word = "";

System.out.println("Please enter words ending with done.");

word = reader.next();
while(!word.equals("done")){
if(word.charAt(0) == word.charAt(word.length()-1)){
System.out.println("The word " + word
+ " has first and last characters that are the same.");
}
word = reader.next();
}


System.out.println("Please enter words ending with done.");

boolean finished = false;
do{
word = reader.next();
if(word.equals("done"))
finished = true;
else

if(word.charAt(0) == word.charAt(word.length()-1)){
System.out.println("The word " + word
+ " has first and last characters that are the same.");
}
} while (!finished);
