You are creating a do/while
loop. This will loop while
a condition remains true. In this case, it loops while
the answer remains as "No".
The structure of a loop is like this:
do {
// keep doing this
} while (condition == true);
So, bin your if
statement and move the condition, response.equals("No")
inside the while
brackets.
You end up with something like:
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?: ");
}while(response.equals("No"));
Let me know how you get on.
Steve.
