Hiya,

For this challenge, you define the String response first, then enter a do while loop.

Inside the loop, you prompt the user with the question provided. At the end of each iteration, you test to see if the answer is "No". If it is, loop again, else don't.

Something like:

String response;
do {
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response.equals("No"));

I hope that makes sense.

Steve.
