I do not know what I am doing wrong

If you are able to see my code please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Example.java 
// 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 do while loops?");
  if(response.equalsIgnoreCase("YES"))
  {
    console.printf("Because you said "+ response+ "you passed the test!");
  }


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



 //console.printf("Because you said " + response + ","+" you passed the test!");

The challenge wants you to use the printf which means that you are not supposed to concatenate the string but use %s.

String response= "";
do{
 response=console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
  if(response.equalsIgnoreCase("YES"))
  {
    console.printf("Because you said %s you passed the test!", response);
  }


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