String response; boolean isUnderstand; do { response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?" ); isUnderstand = true; if (isUnderstand) { console.printf("I'm glad you understand"); } } while (isUnderstand);
I've tried several different versions of this, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to make it as simple as possible.
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response;
boolean isUnderstand;
do {
response = console.readLine("Do you understand while loops?" );
isUnderstand = true;
if (isUnderstand) {
console.printf("I'm glad you understand");
}
} while (isUnderstand);

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