Coding a do/while loop while declaring the string outside of the do/while loop.

I'm stuck on this question. I tried to copy what I saw in the video but I was unable to code it successfully. Thanks for your help.

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
String response; 
do {response = cnosole.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
    if (response.equals("no"))

   } while(response.equals("no"));

You're close, you have the needed code but with some of the old code still left over.

  • you don't need the first line anymore, one question in the loop is enough
  • you also don't need the "if" line
  • there's a spelling error where "cnosole" is written instead of "console"
  • if this is for the challenge, it expects "No" (capital "N") instead of "no"
