How to have a while loop that continuously runs when the string variable response equals No?

Question

I am not sure how to convert a boolean to a string
Example.java
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = console.readLine("Do tou understand do while loops?");
Boolean No;
while(true)
response = response.equals(No);

```
//Create a String to store the users response
String response;
// Keep asking the user for a response while he answers "No".
do{
                //Prompt user and store their answer in response
        response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
//Check if the user answered "No" if they did answer "No" loop again.
}while(response.equals("No"));
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!",response);
```
The string's equals method compares the value of the string and returns a Boolean (true/false). 
for example:
``` 
String myStr = "Hello";
Boolean isHello = myStr.equals("Hello");   // isHello will equal true
Boolean isHello = myStr.equals("Good Bye");   // isHello will equal false
```
Also something to keep in mind is the string equals method is case sensitive.
