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.

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?  ");
console.printf("%s?");
String response;
do{
  respose = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
  if (response.equalsIgnoreCase(No)){
  console.printf("Please try again");
  }
}while

Hey trae! Your a bit off here, i recommend rewatching the previous video, and try to reread the instructions, you have done a lot of things in your code that was never requested. If you still cant figure it out, please write back and ill be sure to help!

You need to add a condition to the while loop. 

//You don't need to declare anything outside the while loop outside of the response String variable.
String response;
do
{
 //Note that you only need this piece of code once: inside the while loop.
 response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); 
}
//Note that you need a condition in the while statement. You only need to store the response once.
while(response == "No");
//Finally, print a response according to the instructions.
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!");

Pay attention to the instructions. You only need the readLine document once.
