Challenge Task 2 of 3

I feel like I am getting the point.. but...zz

Example.java
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean response;
do {response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
    if(response) {
      console.printf("Do you understand do while loops?");
   }while(response);

May be the problem is, you are not changing the condition of while. Change that into

 while(!response);

and declare one type of response. If you want to get a response from user boolean value (true or false), then use

 boolean response;

and if you want a specific response like yes or no or anything then use

 string response;

and after that in if else statement check equality for that. You don't have to declare both type at once.
