I don't know what is wrong/how to do this

ugh

Example.java 
// I have initialized a java.io.Console for you. It is in a variable named console.
String response = console.readLine("Do you understand do while loops?");
If (response = no){
  console.printf("Do you understand do while loops?");
}

Here's a few hints to help you get back on track:

  • a single "=" is an assignment operator, not a comparison
  • string comparisons in Java should be done with a method instead of an operator
  • keywords in Java are all lower case
  • the instructions ask for a do while loop instead of a conditional ("if")
  • the instructions say to look for "No" (with a capital "N")
