Can anyone help me with this Do While loop?

I just can't seem to get it....

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

Hi Isaac,

If you remove all parts of the if statement, your code is fine!

I'll copy the code you need from your post above; this is your code, not mine: 

String response ;
do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
 } while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

I removed, as unnecessary:

 if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no")) { console.printf("are you sure?  ")); }

That should work for you.

Steve.
