Hi, I don't know how to formate a string as asked, I'm trying for 3 hours. help!

I was asked to format a string in a do while loop, so that any other answer then "no" would lead to a console.printf("Because you answered <response>, you passed the test"). it's not working, no matter how I do it. anyone?

thanks XOXO

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