Do while loops

what am I doing wrong?

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean responseIsNo;
do
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops? ");
  responseIsNo = (response.equals("NO"));
  if (responseIsNo)
    console.printf("The answer is NO");
  while(responseIsNo);

Loops should be contained in brackets. Put a "{" after the word do and a "}" right before while. Also, removing the semicolon from the last line should prevent an error.
