Do While Loops, Challenge Task 3 of 3

What is wrong with the following code?!

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?  ");
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));
console.printf("Because you said "response" ,you passed the test!");

The do/while loop you've written will keep going while the response is equal to "No" - ignoring case.

console.printf("Because you said "response" ,you passed the test!"); console.printf("Because you said %s , you passed the test!", response);
