I do not understand this question? How do I pass this?

Prompt the user with the question "Do you understand do while loops?" Store the result in a new String variable named response.

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?");

You're missing the loop condition but if you're on Task 1 then you don't need the loop yet.

Task 1 should be..

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

For reference, this is Task 2.

String response;
do{
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response.equals("No")); //<-- loop condition

And this is Task 3

String response;
do{
  response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
} while(response.equals("No"));
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!",response);

Hope that helps.
