1,479 PointsCan anyone help me with this loop
What is wrong with this loop?
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
boolean isInvalidWord;
do {
isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no");
if (isInvalidWord) {
console.printf("Try again.\n\n");
}
} while(isInvalidWord);

variable and never change.
