367 Pointsdo while loop question no 2
Question - 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
code 1) String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?"); do{ if (response.equals("yes")){ console.printf("do you understand do while loops?"); } }while (response.equals("No")); Error:Code took longer to run
code 2)String response = console.readLine("Do youuderstand : ");; boolean isInvalidWord; do {
isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"));
if (isInvalidWord){
console.printf("do you understand : ");
}
}while (isInvalidWord);
Error:Continuous looping does not end until i press cntrl+c
If somebody could help me understand what mistake am doing.
// 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?");
do{
if (response.equals("yes")){
console.printf("do you understand do while loops?");
}
}while (response.equals("No"));

1,321 PointsIt looks like you have created an infinite loop.
You need to ask the user for the input otherwise the answer will always be no.
(I'll update this answer if you need additional help. )

Do you see it now?
