Code Challenge: Looping until the value passes

String response; do {

response = console.readLine( "Do you understand do while loops?"); } while (response != "Yes"); console.printf("Because you said (response != Yes), you passed the test!"); where am I going wrong?

Example.java
String response;
do {

 response = console.readLine( "Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response != "Yes");
console.printf("Because you said (response != Yes), you passed the test!");

String response;
 response = console.readLine( "Do you understand do while loops?");
while (1){
  if(response != "Yes"){
    console.printf("Because you said (response != Yes), you passed the test!");
    break; //or use return.
  }
}

BTW i dont understand why you used (response != Yes) in console.printf.. Any further doubt?

Thanks to both of you
