690 PointsI am not sure what the code should look like here.
Do I need another Do here? I have tried else and if. I have even just tried printing it. I am not sure where to put the console.printf code. Please help!!
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops? ");
if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("No")) {
console.printf("Try again.");
}
if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes")) {
console.printf("Because you said yes, you passed the test! ");
}
} while(response.equalsIgnoreCase("No"));

" You are doing that, but it wants you to print that string without "hard-coding" the word "yes". You need to pass the value of the variable 'response' into the printf() method so it says 'yes.'
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test! ", response);

do{
something
}while(condition)
print
