// 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? ");
  AnswerNo = (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));  // This variable isn't needed, plus you're missing "String" AnswerNo
    if (AnswerNo) {
      console.printf("Do you understand do while loops?");
             }  // Consequently this if statement isn't needed
} while(AnswerNo); // Here is where you should include the "value" of AnswerNo
