do while I am having trouble with my first do while loop. the console is telling me that it isn't iterating.

String response; do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); } while(response == "no");

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 == "no");

I believe the challenge is testing for No and not no. 

String response;
do {
 response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response == "No");

This will also pass if you want to ignore case:

String response;
do {
 response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
