I am asked to make a simple do while loop that ask's the user a question. If the answer is no then repeat.

please help i don't see why the code is not working.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean wrong;
do {
 response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
  wrong=response.equalsIgnoreCase("no");

  if (wrong) {
    console.printf("This will repeat untill answer is yes");

}

while (wrong);


}

It looks like your closing brackets are a bit off. The last closing bracket should come before the while(wrong) statement instead of after.

do {
} while (wrong);

That didn't format quite the way I thought it would but I hope that makes sense :)
