you are doing it correctly, but you don't need to create a boolean, the last part is where you write the console.printf(); outside the do while loop,

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);
