4,409 PointsI don't know how to finish this do while loop. Anyone know?
I posted my code based off another discussion post about this question, but the challenge still marked it incorrect.
The question was:
"Now continually prompt the user in a do while loop. The loop should continue running as long as the response is No. Don't forget to declare response outside of the do while loop."
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
do {
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops? ");
} while (response == "No");

But if you use the "preview" button, the output gives you a clue:
JavaTester.java:123: error: variable response is already defined in method run()
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops? ");
^
1 error
So your issue here is declaring "response" twice. Only the first line should have the "String" declaration in front.
