Can't get challenge 3/3 to print the final statement

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code? Keep getting an error

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? ");
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

console.printf("Becase you said " + response + ", you passed the test!");

That is because console.printf requires two arguments, the String to print with a placeholder %s and as second parameter the value for the placeholder.

console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);

Also you have a typo in "Because" but I don't think that's relevant.
