Did you use console.printf and to write out the formatted string with the response?

any assistance will be appreciated.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean exitNow;

do{
  response=console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
  exitNow=(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
  if(exitNow){
  console.printf("dont worry you gona learn it.try again");
  }

  }while (exitNow);
console.printf("Because you said <exitNow> you passed the test!");

console.printf("Because you said <exitNow> you passed the test!"); "<exitNow>" should really be formatted to whatever the response says. Use %s :)
