Hello! I have reviewed the exercise that you are having trouble with. The code should look something like this.

String response;

do {

  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");

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

The code will keep looping until the text is equal to no. The text case has been ignored. The string 'response' will equal the console.readLine and that will store the text that you input for the string.
