finally, using console.printf print out a formatted string that says

String response; boolean notGood; do { response = console.readLine("do you understand do while loops?"); notGood = (response.equalsIgnoreCase ("no"));

} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase ("no"));

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.

String response;
boolean notGood;
do {
response = console.readLine("do you understand do while loops?");
  notGood = (response.equalsIgnoreCase ("no"));

} while  (response.equalsIgnoreCase ("no"));
console.printf("because you said" <response>, "you passed the test!");

How about the following simplified solution?

String response;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response.equals("No"));
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);
