Can someone tell me why the "Because you answered 'Yes', you passed the test" will not print. Basically if the answer is not "No" I want this to be the response. Thanks! // I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console. String response; boolean answer; do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?"); answer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")); if (answer) {console.printf("Do you understand while loops?"); } } while(answer); console.printf("Because you answered Yes, you passed the test")
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean answer;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?");
answer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
if (answer) {console.printf("Do you understand while loops?");
}
}
while(answer);
console.printf("Because you answered Yes, you passed the test")

Like in the previous tutorials, you'll want to use %s to identify strings to be replaced by the printf formatter method. Here's an example:
console.printf("Because you answered %s, you passed the test", response);
