9,286 PointsDo while loop question
I keep getting this question wrong but I'm not really sure what's wrong with my code, I've tried it a bunch of different ways.
// 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? ");
boolean invalidAnswer;
do {
invalidAnswer = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
if (invalidAnswer) {
console.printf("Sorry! Try Again");
}
} while (invalidAnswer);

You need to just declare the new String response outside the loop and then do the prompt in the loop, just like you do with invalidAnswer
String response;
boolean invalidAnswer;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
invalidAnswer = response.equalsIgnoreCase("no");
if (invalidAnswer) {
console.printf("Sorry! Try Again");
}
} while (invalidAnswer);
