My first java (working) program

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Test {
    static Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);

    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println("Until the number hits 10, you can choose yes or no. If you choose yes, it will continue, if no, it will stop.");
        int t = 1;
        //I could just use chars instead of string. I don't know if it has any difference at all.
        String y = "Y";
        String n = "N";
        while (t < 10 & y.equalsIgnoreCase("y")){
            System.out.print("The number is: ");
            System.out.println(t + ". Continue? y/n");
            y = userInput.nextLine();
            t++;
        }
        if (t == 10){
            System.out.println("It got to 10.");
        }
        if (n.equalsIgnoreCase("n") & t != 10){
            System.out.println("You decided to not continue.");
        }
    }
}
