1,238 PointsHelp! How do I continually prompt the user in a do while loop. as long as the response is No?
I've ensured that I've declared String response outside the do code block.
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
String adverb;
boolean isInvalidWord;
do {
adverb = console.readLine ( " Enter an adverb:");
response = console.readLine ( " Do you understand do while loops?");
isInvalidWord = (adverb.equalsIgnoreCase ( "no" ));
if (isInvalidWord) {
console.printf ( " Do you understand do while loops? \n\n");
}
} while ( isInvalidWord);
//response = console.readLine ( " Do you understand do while loops?");
console.printf (" Kindly try to answer again");

It should be:
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine ( " Do you understand do while loops?");
} while (response.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));
console.printf ("Because you said %s, you passed the test!", response);
You've introduced a lot of variables here which you don't really need to get the result they are asking for, why make it more complicated when you can do the same simpler?
I hope this helped!

just take out the "adverb" variable. The challenge wants you to store the response in the "response" variable only.
Here is your code without adverb again:
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean isInvalidWord;
do {
response = console.readLine ( " Do you understand do while loops?");
isInvalidWord = (response.equalsIgnoreCase ( "no" ));
if (isInvalidWord) {
console.printf ( " Do you understand do while loops? \n\n");
}
} while ( isInvalidWord);
Kind Regards, Florian
