statement
I am still having the same issue. Whether I enter yes or no, the program prompts me to enter feet without exiting. I want the program to exit when the user enters no. What is still missing?

#! /usr/bin/ksh
echo "This program is designed to do measurement conversion"
echo "Enter yard"
read yard
echo "The result in feet is:"
expr $yard '*' 3
echo "Do you want to convert from feet to yard as well?"
echo "Please enter your answer"
echo "please enter yes to continue or no to exit:"
read
while true
do
printf "%s " " Enter feet?"
read feet
echo "The result in yard is:"
expr $feet / 3
read continue
case $continue in
[yy]*) ;;
*) printf "%s\n" "Good-bye"
break
;;
esac
done


"OUTPUT"
This program is designed to do measurement conversion
Enter yard
125468
The result in feet is:
376404
Do you want to convert from feet to yard as well?
Please enter your answer
please enter yes to continue or no to exit:
no
Enter feet?
The result in yard is:
