Do while loop

Now continually prompt the user in a do while loop. The loop should continue running as long as the response is No. Don't forget to declare response outside of the do while loop. how to do this?

Example.java
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.

boolean response;
do{

cat = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");

if (cat==yes){
    console.printf("good");
}else(cat==no){
  console.printf("bad");
}

}

you are supposed to have a do while loop but you forgot to add the while part

do {
    //code here will be ran once and will keep running if the condition in the while is true
} while (boolean condition goes here)

what you need to do is if the input is "yes" set boolean var to true, you use this inside of while. if it is no boolean gets set to false
